Summary

We all know that on the other side of negativity is positivity…but what about what’s in between? There is a lot of popular rhetoric that suggests jumping straight into positive thinking when faced with a negative experience is the next step but the truth is that is unrealistic and idealistic thinking. There has to be space for the process to happen to get to the other side and through all his research, Trevor Moawad and his team confirmed that leaning into a negative mindset for the sports community was, in fact not yielding beneficial results on the field, so he coined the process of “thinking neutrally” to fuel the transformation to more wins and a more productive mindset.

0:00.0	Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals,
0:05.6	overcome adversity and set you up for a better tomorrow.
0:08.9	That's a no secret.
0:10.5	I'm ready for my close up.
0:11.7	Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad my close up. Hi and welcome back.
0:13.4	I'm so glad you're here with me this week.
0:16.7	Okay, so to get you up to speed on a few things,
0:19.6	my first ever virtual mentoring program which I invented overnight because of COVID-19 has been a major success and I just want to share I'm so proud of the people that I got to work with
0:32.1	But I also want to share what I have a couple
0:34.4	things to say about this. Number one you can feed 30 different people the
0:39.9	same thing and 20 of them are going to take the ball and run with it and execute and
0:45.0	10 just will do nothing and I saw that so clearly that wasn't the
0:51.8	breakdown in numbers but you know there was a couple of people that
0:54.7	just really didn't execute and really didn't take the bomb run with it and you
0:58.6	know would cancel on meetings or just didn't make it happen and it reminded me of the situation.
1:05.0	Last holiday I live in a building and I came home one day and the woman at the front
1:09.0	desk was exasperated and I said what's going on and she said you know I'm working multiple jobs I'm just I'm not getting paid enough I'm not valued I I'm just I'm barely making it I can't keep living like this and I ran upstairs I got her my book, Confidence Creator and I gave it to her and I said read this book and if you have questions let me know but you need to start having confidence in yourself and going for what you're worth and asking for your value and putting yourself out
1:35.7	there and pushing the limits. Just don't accept what you're being given and blah blah
1:40.0	blah and so the next day I had gotten Uber Eat's and when the delivery man came, it's the same guy all the time.
1:48.0	And this day he was super bummed out and I said, what's a matter?
1:51.0	And he said, you know, I worked three jobs and I never sleep and I have no life and I said but why not he said I don't know I just don't know how to get to the next level I don't know how to make more money I gave him my book Creator. I said the same thing to him. And I said, you know, read the book and I want you to come back and talk to me about it and I want you to take some action here and move things forward.
2:12.8	So to make a long story longer, I don't know, maybe a couple weeks pass.
