1. CC’s first Moody Mic Drop and what caused her to have a full on ‘menty b’ this past week
2. Life is shorter than you think, fam! CC reveals the average amount of days one lives in their lifetime and asks "What are you going to do between now and your last day on Earth to maximize your time here?!"
3. The primary reason behind why we became not confident and how you can use it to your advantage in becoming your best self
4. Our parents as our primary caretakers and the implications of their instinct to meet their own needs before they could meet our own

Locked ‘Me, Myself & I’ Note Overview - To start making real change, we gotta put in some work. This starts with creating your SAFE SPACE. Doing something from you and for you that's quick, simple, efficient, and accessible. Go ahead and create a locked note on your phone and name it whatever you want - CC’s note is named "Lil CC & More”. She originally used it to chat with her inner child/past self and now it's turned into her full time journal. Use your own locked note to safely connect with yourself and for CMWCC Pro-Tips!

Pro-Tip #2 - Think about all the ‘shoulds and shouldn’ts’ in your life, across relationships, your job or school, with yourself and your body, family, or wherever they might show up in your life. In your ‘Me, Myself & I’ locked note, make two sections next to each other — one for the ‘shoulds and shouldn’ts’ and one for why/because (aka why you tell yourself the shoulds/shouldn’ts in the first place). Start by identifying a minimum of 3 ‘shoulds and shouldn’ts’ and jot them down in your note. Over the next week, curiously observe where they occur in your life and keep building out your list as you go. Several examples from CC can be found below:

Example 1: “I SHOULDN’T get cheese on my egg sandwich; WHY? Because it’ll make me fat”

Example 2: “I SHOULD wear a lot of makeup to work; WHY? Because people will think I’m more attractive than I actually am”

Example 3: “I SHOULDN’T tell people what I’m good at; WHY? Because it’ll make it seem like I’m not humble and humility is important to getting people to like me”

Example 4: “I SHOULD wait to respond to their text; WHY? Because playing hard to get is how to win them over”

This exercise will help you start to realize how ridiculous these subconscious personal guidelines are and just how obvious it is that they’re not actually coming from the true you. Next week, we’ll use your ‘shoulds and shouldn’ts’ as a basis for developing your personal ACRFs (Anti-Confidence Red Flags). Also fam, don’t forget to take some pride in the fact that you’re doing something purely for yourself and your own greater good. What you develop on the inside will only help positively enhance your life on the outside! You got this!

P.S. Here are directions for how to create a locked note on iPhone and Android.
