Lewis gets brutally honest about something most of us are doing right now without realizing the damage: avoiding hard situations. Like, for Lewis, having hard conversations with people. He used to sweat thinking about difficult talks with people he cared about, overanalyzing every word, dreading the discomfort so intensely that he'd just... not do it. But here's what he discovered: that avoidance wasn't protecting anyone. It was creating constant stress in his body, this low-grade anxiety that never went away. He was abandoning himself every time he chose comfort over truth. And the longer he waited, the louder that internal scream became, slowly eroding his self-trust and self-belief.

Here's the shift that changes everything: confidence doesn't come from affirmations or motivation or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from doing the one uncomfortable thing you've been putting off. Maybe it's that conversation, that call, that message you need to send. Whatever it is, it's probably creating more stress by avoiding it than actually doing it would. Even something as simple as moving your body for 10 minutes daily builds self-respect because you're showing up, you're listening to yourself, you're proving you can do hard things. Consistency beats intensity every single time. When you stop seeing yourself as someone who avoids discomfort and start seeing yourself as someone who handles it (who maybe even loves it) everything changes. Do one hard thing today. That's it.
