Speaker 1 (00:00):
Everyone, Logan crews here and welcome back to Distracted on Purpose. Ever,
feel like you're stuck in a loop of self doubt,
like your inner critic has hijacked your thought process and
is making all those you can't statements echo louder than
your dreams. Yeah, we've all been there, But guess what,
we've got the power to rewrite that script. Today we're
(00:24):
diving deep into the world of positive affirmations, not just
as some fluffy, feel good thing, but as a genuine
tool to build unshakable confidence. Think about it. Our brains
are like supercomputers, constantly processing information and forming beliefs based
on what we feed them. So if you're consistently telling
(00:45):
yourself I can't, I'm not good enough, or it's too hard,
guess what those circuits are going to prioritize. Yep, those
negative thoughts. But here's the kicker. Our brains don't actually
know the difference between a truth and a lie. They
just process information. So if you start bombarding your brain
(01:08):
with positive affirmations, powerful statements that reinforce your strengths and capabilities,
you can literally rewire those pathways and build unshakable confidence.
First up, let's get Real affirmations aren't magic spells. They
won't instantly erase years of self doubt or make you
(01:28):
a superhero overnight, but they are a consistent, intentional practice that,
over time can truly transform your mindset. Think of it
like exercise for your brain. The more you do it,
the stronger those positive connections become. Second, keep it personal
and specific. Drab affirmations like I am confident, just don't
(01:53):
pack the punch. Think about what areas in your life
need a confidence boost. Are you struggling with well speaking?
Affirmations like I am a powerful communicator or my voice
deserves to be heard are way more effective than generic statements. Third,
make it a habit, not just a one time thing.
(02:15):
Consistency is key. Aim for at least a few minutes
every day, ideally first thing in the morning or before bed.
You can write them down, say them out loud, or
even record yourself repeating them. Find what works best for
you and stick with it. Fourth, own those affirmations. Don't
(02:36):
just repeat them robotically. Really feel the words as you
say them. Imagine yourself embodying that confidence, acting like the
person you want to be. This helps solidify the belief
in your subconscious mind. And finally, remember that setbacks are
part of the journey. There will be days when self
doubt creeps back in. That's totally normal. Just acknowledge those
(03:00):
those thoughts, gently redirect them towards your positive affirmations, and
keep moving forward. Building confidence is a continuous process, not
a destination. Ever felt like you're on the verge of
giving a killer presentation, but then suddenly your mind goes blank.
You know that feeling when self doubt whispers what if
(03:22):
they laugh? Or what if I forget everything? Well, imagine this,
you're backstage about to take the stage. Instead of panicking,
you take a deep breath and repeat your affirmation. I
am a confident and engaging speaker. My words are powerful
and my message resonates with the audience. You feel that shift,
(03:45):
a surge of energy, a sense of calm, focus, and
even a touch of excitement. You step onto the stage
knowing you've got this. Your voice is clear, your ideas
flow naturally, and you connect with the audience on a
deeper level. See, positive affirmations aren't just about feeling good.
They equip us to handle those real life challenges with
(04:08):
more courage and resilience. They give us the mental toolkit
to overcome self doubt and step into our full potential.
So what are we taken away from this episode? First,
remember that confidence isn't a personality trait. It's a skill
you can learn and cultivate. Second, positive affirmations are a
(04:31):
powerful tool to reprogram those negative thought patterns and build
unshakable belief in yourself. Third, make it a habit. Consistency
is key. Write down your affirmations, say them out loud,
or record yourself repeating them. The more you do it,
the stronger those positive connections become. Lastly, be patient with yourself.
(04:56):
Building confidence takes time and effort. Don't get discouraged if
you have setbacks. Just keep practicing and remember that you
are capable of amazing things. Now, I want to hear
from you what affirmation resonates most with you. What area
in your life do you want to build more confidence in?
