Justin Stenstrom - How To Have More Confidence http://learntruehealth.com/justin-stenstrom-how-to-have-more-confidence/ Gain Confidence In 5 Amazingly Simple Steps My guest today will teach us some doable tips on how to gain confidence. I'm so excited to have Justin Stenstrom, who is the host of Elite Men Magazine podcast.  He is also slated to launch another podcast which is just as informative as it is entertaining. Elite Men Vs. Justin Stenstrom Podcast Stenstrom says that Elite Men focuses one topic per episode. He, along with his guest, strategize different steps on how to master that topic. The Justin Stenstrom show is more free-flowing and relaxed. This show has a more intimate vibe and dives a little more into the backstory of the guests. How He Became Elite Man First of all, when Stenstrom was 17 or 18 years old,  he had severe anxiety, depression and panic attacks 3 or 4 times a week. Furthermore, he relates had no social life and dating life. Hence, he had no self-esteem at all. It was an awful time to say the least. After having a severe panic attack, Stenstrom was even thinking of committing suicide. Yet one day, he decided to figure out these issues. Stenstrom went online and came across this self-help community. He said lot of the techniques to gain confidence did work. And started implementing these strategies. Finally, through trial and tribulation he was able to overcome these problems. Stenstrom said his journey to gain confidence took a few years. He resolved to help others through the Elite Men concept. Living With A Stereotype "I myself have lived for years under that stereotype. I kept a lot of things inside me. A lot of my issues were built over time, not expressing myself and not talking about my feelings especially dating," Stenstrom said. In addition to that, "I had a big problem with dating. My first career endeavor was giving advises on dating and gain confidence," he said. "I'd meet these guys who had problems with dating." Stenstrom also said that when he started to share his story on the podcast, a lot of those men could relate to his past. They became stronger by realizing what was possible. He also shared techniques to gain confidence on larger platforms like blogs and websites. Stenstrom says it's liberating to tell this side of the story. Consequently, to be a strong man and share this part of themselves. In today's culture, men are frowned upon for having emotions and wanting to get help. In addition to that, it is perceived as being weak. Giving Shy Guys Game This is the first book Stenstrom wrote 5 years ago. It did pretty well with guys looking for dating advice. Then we went on to write several other e-books. The last one, "Approaching Women", is an Amazon bestseller. Approaching Women Stenstrom says the book is about how to talk to women.  It is not like this pick-up thing that a lot of guys hear about. Several guidelines are given on how to have a good conversation with women and how to meet them. The Art of Dating I agree with Stenstrom. Most people need to date in order to find their partner. I was living in Nevada and I dated for two years before I found my husband. Let me tell you, it was brutal. I think more men needed Stenstrom's book back then. My husband was shy but the universe gave him the confidence to talk to me. That got the ball rolling. Plus, the shy guys are usually the really nice ones. Growing Up Having Confidence To gain confidence is one of life's important values. You tend to have lower stress levels. Your body, endocrine system and digestion is optimal. The parts of your brain that are responsible for retaining memory and learning are optimized. So people who have confidence end up becoming smarter people. But it's not something easily taught or passed down. Arrogance VS. Confidence "There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Whatever you're learning in life, there's a good and bad part," Stenstrom said. "No matter what you're doing, there's always t
