**Los Angeles, CA** – Actress Chrissy Metz, known for her role in “This is Us,” shared her personal philosophy on faith, good deeds, and self-confidence in a recent interview. Metz revealed that prayer is a cornerstone of her life, a practice she engages in frequently, even praying for the safety of everyone on a plane. This faith, she explains, provides comfort, especially during challenging times.
However, Metz emphasizes that her faith isn’t solely a personal solace; it fuels her desire to help others. “When I do good things, I feel good about myself,” she stated, explaining that acts of kindness and generosity towards family, friends, and the wider community boost her self-confidence more than external validation. This self-confidence, she believes, is built upon a foundation of trust in oneself, accumulated through positive actions.
While acknowledging occasional bouts of anxiety, Metz turns to prayer as a coping mechanism, emphasizing its power in situations beyond her control. Her journey of faith began in childhood, finding solace in church after her parents’ divorce. Today, she maintains a personal relationship with God, encouraging others to find their own connection with a higher power, regardless of religious affiliation. Metz’s new children’s book, “When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings,” further explores her beliefs and personal connection with faith.
