Summary

How often do you catch yourself in a storm of self-defeating thoughts? Do you tend to be self-critical and drift toward worry regardless of the circumstances? How do you usually talk to yourself? Are you your own cheerleader? How often do you hear in your head statements like “I’m no good”? You can’t reason with your reptilian brain, but the good news is that it learns through action. Every time you take action and survive, it learns a new lesson. In other words, the process of facing fear, acknowledging it, taking action, is like a muscle. The more you work it, the easier it becomes. This is one of the best mechanisms that I know for reducing the volume of negative self-talk because taking even small actions in the face of fear helps you become more confident. Today's episode is a reminder to evaluate how you talk to yourself. Timestamps:

[00:00] Intro

[01:05] Language is incredibly powerful, and you’re in charge of writing your life script.

[02:47] Fear is a gift, a precious instinct.

[04:09] Take action despite fear.

[05:21] Naysayers are not in the room with you right now. Is fear doing a table read?

[06:36] Actions plus positive self-talk will be your ticket to writing your own script in life. Do not let your monkey brain rehearse lines from old scripts.

[07:55] Just do it!

Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hey, if you're like me, you may be on the precipice right now of beginning something new.
0:14.2	Now, these times are very exciting, right? There's a lot of energy, at least, in her heart,
0:20.5	in our head. If you're like me, if you're's a lot of energy, at least, in her heart and our head.
0:22.0	If you're like me, if you're on the verge of starting some new things, or it's the new year,
0:28.3	or you've got a new goal that you're introducing, this is an exciting time, but it's also a time
0:35.0	where you may start to have doubts, when you may be looking
0:40.1	around for anything to do other than the things that you know you need to be doing.
0:48.6	If this happens to be one of those moments for you, I want to acknowledge that you could be free of these moments,
0:55.6	but if like me you may be experiencing one of these moments right now, I have a reminder for you.
1:03.4	The words that you say, how you talk to yourself, matters a lot. Language is incredibly powerful. It is a foundation to our brain.
1:16.4	The cool thing is that when you're a self-proclaimed creator, I'm guessing you have at least
1:22.6	part of that as your identity given you listen to the show. If you recognize that you are a creator,
1:29.3	you have creativity at your fingertips, you have an unbeatable advantage over those who are still
1:37.6	ignoring their creativity when it comes to the words that you say to yourself. You know that you are in charge
1:48.5	of creating this script, of creating and choosing intentionally the words that you will use to speak
1:57.4	to yourself. Are you afraid a little bit? Maybe a lot? Good. That is a sign that you're
2:06.7	moving in the right direction. I mean, the very thought of putting something new into the world,
2:12.2	whether it's a company, a product, a podcast, some of your writing, a photograph, the very thought of putting
2:21.6	something new into the world can be scary and it should be. Or maybe you have that self-talk,
2:27.0	what if I'm not good enough? What if this isn't the right thing to pursue? What if it isn't
2:31.5	the right time to make this change? What if no one likes me or my
2:35.3	stuff? What if I can't earn enough to make a living? Well, this fear that you might be feeling
