Positive Self Talk is the Best Talk

Amazing to see top performers focusing on the fundamentals of #mindset and #psychology. When the competition heats up, keeping your focus positive is essential. Those little voices of doubt and insecurity are waiting for even the slightest chink in your armour, and if you give them even just a moment, they will derail your performance. By speaking affirmations aloud, you do two things: - Firstly, it is practically impossible to have a different conversation in your brain and your mouth at the same time. By speaking positive words, it means there is no space in your brain for negative thoughts. - Secondly, if you believe the words, they might actually happen. Whether your vocalisation focuses on technique, impact or attitude, there is a far greater chance that outcome will occur as a result of focusing on it. What are you saying to yourself today to keep yourself positive, motivated, and focused on the best possible outcomes? Or does this not work in a business context? #positivemindset #positivepsychology

Positive self-talk makes all the difference in realizing your dreams or not. When you convince yourself that you *can* achieve them, you probably will. Let’s practice: leave a comment with a positive affirmation!

A routine previous to a key moment in your life helps you to be focused and use all your training to reach your goal. It normally includes: 1. Focus on the present. 2. Focus on what you know and what you have to do. 3. Regulation of your arousal state. Do you have a routine for those important moments?

I love this! Here’s 2 specific ways that I use positive self-talk to help me engage an audience: 1. Just before I’m about to hit the stage, whether for a keynote, workshop or comedy gig, I remind myself of what I need to do to get the results I want. Sometimes it’s a simple as “you’ve got this”, “listen and respond” or “take your time”. 2. When I actually hit the stage, I smile and think “welcome”, “I’m so glad you’re here” or “this is gonna be fun” while looking at the audience. This get me in an appreciative, present mindset that connects me to the audience and relaxes me so that I maximize my capacity to deliver with ease, joy and impact. I’d love to hear what works for you!
