Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to Dopamine Unplugged, your daily
dose of real talk, motivation, and maybe just a little
bit of chaos because life's too short to take things
seriously all the time. Right, I'm your host, Leo Weston,
and today we're diving into something that affects us all confidence. Now,

(00:22):
before you roll your eyes and say yeah, yeah, I've
heard it all before, stick with me for a minute.
We're not talking about some cheesy self help fluff here.
We're going deep exploring the power of positive self talk, because,
let's face it, the things retell ourselves every day shape
our reality. Ever feel like you're holding yourself back, like

(00:45):
there's this invisible wall stopping you from reaching your full potential.
A lot of times that wall is built by our
own minds. So how do we knock down those walls
and build a foundation of unshakable confidence. It all starts
with the words we use, both to ourselves and to others.

(01:06):
Think about it. Would you talk to your best friend
the way you sometimes talk to yourself? Probably not right.
You wouldn't tear them down or belittle their dreams. But
when it comes to ourselves, sometimes we forget basic decency.
Let's get real. Everyone has those days where self doubt

(01:26):
creeps in. It's human nature. But here's the thing. Those
doubts are just whispers, not roars. They're not facts. They're feelings,
and feelings can be managed. Think of your inner critic
as that annoying voice you get stuck with on a
long road trip. You know, the one that constantly points

(01:49):
out every bump in the road and complains about the music. Well,
we can learn to tune it out. Here are five
key takeaways to build confidence through positive self talk. One,
Recognize the power of your words. Seriously, folks, words have power.
They shape our thoughts, our actions, and ultimately our reality.

(02:12):
When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, stop and ask
is this really true? Or would I say this to
a friend? Often the answer is a resounding no. Two.
Challenge negative thoughts. Don't just accept those self deprecating thoughts
as gospel. Challenge them. Ask for evidence. Where's the proof

(02:36):
that you can't do something? What about all those times
you've succeeded before? Remind yourself of your strengths and past accomplishments.
You're capable of amazing things. Don't let those pesky doubts
convince you otherwise. Three. Reframe negative thoughts. This is where

(02:56):
the magic happens. Instead of dwelling on I can't do this,
try saying this will be challenging, but I'm willing to
learn and grow. Turn I'm not good enough into I'm
working hard and getting better every day. The small shift
in perspective can make a world of difference. Four Practice gratitude.

(03:20):
Focusing on what you're grateful for shifts your energy from
negativity to positivity. It reminds you that even when things
are tough, there is still so much good in your life.
Make a daily gratitude list, big or small, it all counts. Five.
Be kind to yourself. Seriously treat yourself with the same

(03:43):
compassion and understanding you would offer to a loved one.
Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has insecurities. It's okay to not
be perfect. Embrace your flaws and celebrate your strengths. Think
about that time you stumbled on stage during a presentation,
or maybe even bombed an interview. Did those negative thoughts

(04:05):
help or did they paralyze you further. I'm guessing the latter,
But what if instead of letting fear take over, you
had practiced positive self talk beforehand, maybe something like I've
prepared well for this, I can handle it, or even
if things don't go perfectly, I'll learn from it. Imagine

(04:28):
the difference that could make. That's the power of positive
self talk. It doesn't mean ignoring challenges or pretending everything
is always sunshine and rainbows. It means facing them head
on with a more resilient mindset, knowing you've got this. Remember, folks,

(04:48):
building confidence takes time and effort. It's a journey, not
a destination. But by consciously choosing your words and focusing
on the positive, you can rewrite your story and unlock
your true potential. Now, go out there and rock it,
