On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the Internet.

I teach go-getters in life how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey guys, it's Trish Blackwell, your host of The Confidence Podcast in your confidence coach, and you're listening to episode 535.

Today we're talking about self-talk and keeping your promises to yourself. This is a key component of confidence to be someone who trusts their own decisions.

Who knows that when you say you're going to do something, you do it. You follow through. When you set a big goal, you go, okay, I don't have to worry about the process. I just know I'm going to keep showing up even when I'm discouraged, even when I'm not seeing the results.

I will keep on keeping on, we're going to be talking about building confidence within yourself and cultivating positive change so that your goals don't taper off, that you don't lose that momentum and that joy that you have.

So if you felt stuck or weighed down by self-doubt or lack of control in your life, if you have recurring negative thoughts that seem to get a firm grasp on the way you think and feel about yourself, it's time to shift these damaging cycles and adopt new habits that lead you towards greater trust in yourself.

In this episode, I'm going to be taking an exploration into developing a more positive attitude about yourself in increasing your self-talk so that you can trust yourself more. When you trust yourself, you know that you can always have your own back. When you have your own back, you know that you can pivot, you can keep going, you know that you can make mistakes and get back up.

So we're going to dive into strategies on how to optimize your mindset dialogue so that you can go and start being fearless in your forward momentum and motion.

So hey, if you are new to the show, I want to welcome you. I am so delighted you decided to say, I'm going to give this show a try.

My name is Trish Blackwell. I am passionate about helping people who put too much pressure on themselves, learn how to stop self-sabotage and stop overthinking, stop playing small, start comparing and start thriving to start tapping into the fullest potential that God has put inside of you.

My clients and our listeners and my members in my coaching, the College of Confidence, they learn how to ooze confidence with unwavering belief in their wildest dreams by using my thought tools, how to take control of your thoughts, how to take your thoughts captive, how to make them powerful.

And what ends up happening is you have more fun, you have success with more ease, you live with more joy, you have more peace and you start showing up in the world the way God created you in that, you start creating impact and showing up for your purpose.

That is the work we do here. So if you're down for that, you are in the right place. So I, in this episode, I'm going to talk about keeping your promises to yourself, how to build a standard within yourself of self-trust, and then using pre-decisions to reduce decision fatigue and inconsistent follow-through because that's what really ends up happening is we start getting tired and when we get tired we start giving up.

And we start convincing ourselves and believing ourselves, we have two parts of our brain, you've got this part of your brain that's trying to conserve energy, you've got the part of your brain, the decision part of the brain, the vision part of your brain that knows you're made for more.

And but when we're tired, it's easy to believe that salesman part of our brain that says, you know, you can take your foot off the pedal, we can take our foot off the gas, it's cool, it doesn't really matter, you don't need to stay with this sense of urgency towards what you're working towards.

And I want you to know that it's time to change the voice in your head. Hey, speaking of changing the voice in your head, this has been one of the main things that people come to me to work with me on is to, how do I change the inner narrative of my mind? And guess what? Because of that, we have an entire week.

This is a week long challenge. I cannot wait for you to take part of it. It's an interactive five day challenge that we are calling changing the voice in your head.

Changing the voice in your head. Well, we could call it changing the voice in your head week. It is March 6th through March 10th, 2023 by the end of the week.

If you sign up and participate, whether you're participating live or you're going to send out the replays for each one of these hour long coaching workshops by the end of the week, you will reset the atmosphere of your brain.
