  SPEAKER_00: Okay now, you're doing it.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: You're doing it because you're here with me on Trust Yourself Thursday.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, this is Trust Yourself Thursday, and we're going in on the seven questions that can change our lives.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Dr.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Derek Sweet.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to the sweet spot.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: What if the thing standing between you and your next level of confidence is one tiny imperfect attempt?
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: Just taking your shot, giving it a try.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what this week is all about.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because when we ask the right questions, we find courage, we find clarity, and we can take that clarity and that courage and we can move it into confidence.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: On Monday, we located ourselves with the question.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: On Tuesday, we named what was blocking us or weighing us down.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: On yesterday, when it all Wednesday, we finally said out loud, what do I truly want?
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: And today, our fourth question on Trust Yourself Thursday, the day where all that inner clarity begins to turn into movement, not just um perfect movement, but but a sort of a courageous movement, we're going to ask ourselves this question: What will I try next?
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: You know, a few years ago, I had an idea I believed in, something I wanted to create.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: But every time I sat down to share it, I just froze up.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: I kept asking myself, what if people laughed at me?
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: What if this thing wouldn't be good enough?
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: What if I wasn't good enough?
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then one night I finally typed a message to one of my friends, someone I really respected.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: My hands were a little shaky as I was doing it.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: And I read it like 12 times before I put it out there.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: I took a long breath and I sent it.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: I wish I could tell you something magical happened that night, but nothing did.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: There was no reply, there was no fireworks, the idea didn't even seem to land.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: It didn't seem like anything happened.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: But in retrospect, something did happen.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: You know what happened?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: I happened.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: I proved to myself that I could take a scared step and survive it, even if the response didn't come.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: And that tiny moment ended up changing more than anything else could have ever done for me.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what today is all about.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Trust yourself Thursday.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Trust yourself to take that step, to ask the question, to make the move, to take the action, to see yourself as a winner, to trust yourself and ask the central question.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: By now you're trying to say to me, hey doc, what's the question?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: What's the Thursday question?
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: What will I try next?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: That's what today's question is all about.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: What will I try next?
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Not what will I master, not what will I guarantee that I'll be successful at, just what's the next small thing I'm willing to try?
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Because here's the truth: trust isn't something you think your way into, it's something you build through action.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: You've got to take the first step.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: And the ancient wisdom, as you know, we are about science, soul, and success here on the sweet spot.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: The ancient wisdom says this it's a classic for those of you who walk according to the word.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Faith without works is, and I can hear you all out there saying, it's dead.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's correct.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: Faith has no power without action.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: Faith without works is dead.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: Belief and behavior have to hold hands.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: At some point, faith does need to take a step.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Faith has to trust, it has to take action, it has to make a move, faith believes it's a winner.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: Will Smith put it in a way that hits every generation.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think the poet Rumi actually said it before him.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: That everything you want is on the other side of fear.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: What are you afraid of?
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: What don't you trust yourself to do?
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Well, guess what?
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to take, you don't have to climb the whole staircase, as they say.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Just take the first step.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: The question today, Trust Yourself Thursday, is what's the next small thing I'm willing to try?
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: And here's the wild part.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Your brain rewards you when you do things like that.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Anytime you try something new, even something tiny and small, your dopamine system lights up.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: And dopamine isn't just the feel-good chemical.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: People always think that dopamine is about feeling good.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it is, but it's also the confidence chemical.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: When your dopamine is flowing, you're more confident.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: It whispers to your brain, see, that wasn't so scary after all.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: And it kind of feels good.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: See, you're stronger than you think.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: See, you survived that.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: You see, trying, even if you don't nail it, literally rewires your brain for courage.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's neuroplasticity in action.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: So trust isn't just a thought, it's a practice.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Every small little step you take, every little experiment you do, even if you don't get the outcome, is evidence that you are growing.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Evidence that you are learning, evidence that you believe in you, evidence that you can take a step even with shaky knees, shaky hands, shaky heart.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Evidence that you believe God is reading for you.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: And here's your check-in today.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Finish this sentence.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: The thing I'm going to try next is, and then you make it simple.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Just one little thing.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: Text a friend that you've been meaning to reconnect with.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Spend five minutes on the project you've been putting off.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Open the journal that's been collecting dust.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Choose a different response the next time somebody bothers you or something like that.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Just try, whatever your thing is.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what your thing is.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: But what I do know is that if you ask yourself this question, what am I willing to try next?
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: The thing I'm gonna try next, I guarantee you something will open up for you and it'll be powerful.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Tomorrow?
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Tomorrow is finished Strong Friday.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: And we're going to face the next breakthrough question.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: What am I avoiding?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Huh.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: See you then, beautiful souls.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: This is Dr.
