Insights and Inspiration from Jim Mathers

I had no idea that the video I posted last week would get hundreds of thousands of views. This professor changed thousands of lives with his important lesson about stress relief and stress management.

But there was another thing I did not see coming:

After I posted that video of the professor with the glass of water, thousands of people commented with one simple question:

“How do I put the glass down?”

And honestly, that question really got me thinking. Because for so many people, that “glass” (the stress) isn’t something they can just set down, walk away from, or let go of. For many, it’s their family, a job, debt, and important responsibilities.

And for some, it’s simply the pressure to keep everything together when you’re already stretched thin.

At first, I thought I had an answer.

"Ah, yeah, here's how to manage stress. Here's what I do when I'm stressed."

But the more I read the comments, the more I realized, there’s no simple one-size-fits-all solution. Because stress is complicated. And life doesn’t always give you the option to just let go of our stress.

So I decided to do some research and find proven and effective stress management tools. Proven stress relief. Effective ways to deal with stress that people have been using for hundreds of years to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and find overall peace, despite stressful circumstances.

Now... because it would have taken a long time for me to list all the ways to deal with stress in a video, I detail every effective stress management tool I found in this article on my website:

https://jimmathers.com/how-to-stress-less-proven-stress-management/

Please take a moment to read it and see if you find a way to perhaps stress a little less through one of these tools, actions, or habits.

I hope you find this article and the proven stress management tools helpful.

What is the easiest way to build self-confidence?

Many of us struggle with confidence at some point. If you're feeling like your self-worth has taken a hit, or you're just not showing up with the self-confidence you know you’re capable of, then know this:

Confidence is a skill. It can be learned, built, regained, and strengthened over time with the right tools and mindset.

In this video, I’ll walk you through 3 proven ways to build self-confidence that have helped me and thousands of others not only boost self-trust, but also overcome fear, break out of the comfort zone, and start living life with more clarity and purpose.

So, whether you’re trying to figure out how to build confidence after failure or you’ve just never really had that inner voice that says “you’ve got this,” these simple yet powerful strategies will give you a fresh start to real, actionable confidence building that works.

What you'll learn:

🧨 Why most people sabotage their confidence, before they even start
🌀 How your comfort zone is quietly stealing your self-confidence
🛠️ Why confidence is a skill, not a gift — and how to develop it
🧘 Powerful visualization techniques to train your mind for success
🧱 How to build confidence so you can take bold action — even when it’s hard
🧠 The exact mindset shifts that helped me stop second-guessing myself

Remember, building self-confidence isn’t about being loud or fearless; it’s about self-trust, taking small courageous steps, and realizing your self-worth is not based on past mistakes.
