It took a reality show to help her get over her constant anxiety. Musician/reality star Christina Milian has revealed that forcing herself to do something outside of her comfort zone – specifically, taking part in Dancing With The Stars in 2013 – helped her face her fears.
‘I used to be afraid of everything. Running out of money, not being good at something, being nervous,’ the 34-year-old singer-actress revealed in an interview in the new issue of New You magazine.
‘When I started to try things that I was scared of, like Dancing With The Stars, I found it was never as bad as I thought. The trials and tribulations in my personal life are enough for me to say, “Okay, get over your fears and just go for it. There is nothing stopping you.”‘
Christina’s new-found confidence has certainly paid off. She has two TV shows running on Tuesday nights – Fox sitcom Grandfathered and her own Christina Milian Turned Up reality show on E!. Plus she released her self-funded, five-song EP in October. ‘My dad always taught me that negative words like “no” and “can’t” should not be in my vocabulary,’ she told New You. ‘We have been blessed with opportunity. It’s your job to recognize it and make the most out of what you have.’
And the celebrity, who shares daughter, Violet, five, with ex-husband The-Dream, said: ‘Parents and family make up a core value system for me.
‘Having a mom and a dad who you know are always imprinted on your life makes a huge difference, from education to relationships to the decisions you make.’
