Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Jake Carter here your daily dose of purpose
and motivation. Ever feel like your inner critic is running
a NonStop negativity marathon. You know that voice that whispers doubts,
amplifies every mistake, and makes you question everything you do.
Trust me, you're not alone. We all have that voice.
But the key is learning to manage it, to break
(00:20):
free from its grip and build unshakable confidence. And trust me,
this isn't about becoming some super confident guru. It's about
embracing your authentic self and feeling good doing it. Today
we're diving deep into how to silence that inner critic
and start a revolution of positive self talk. Because when
you believe in yourself, the world believes in you too.
(00:40):
Think of it like this, Your mind is a garden.
You can either let weeds of negativity take over or
nurture those beautiful flowers of confidence. Number One, Recognize your
negative thoughts. Awareness is the first step to change. Pay
attention to those critical whispers. What are they saying? Write
them down? Even naming an identififying these thoughts takes away
(01:01):
their power. They're just thoughts, not facts. Next challenge those thoughts,
Ask yourself, is this really true. Would I say this
to a friend? Often the answer is a resounding no.
Replace those negative statements with positive affirmations instead of I
can't do this. Try I'm capable and I'll give it
my best shot. See the difference. Number three, Focus on
(01:23):
your strengths. Everyone has talents and skills. Make a list
what are you good at. Celebrate those wins, big or small.
It's like building confidence brick by brick. Remember that time
you nailed that presentation, or when you've helped a friend
through a tough time. These moments prove your worth. Step
four practice self compassion. Treat yourself with the same kindness
(01:44):
and understanding you would offer a loved one. Everyone makes mistakes.
It's part of being human. Learn from them, Forgive yourself
and move on. You're not defined by your imperfections. Finally,
surround yourself with positivity. Spend time with people who lift
you up. Engage in activities that bring you joy, and
cultivate an environment where you feel supported and encouraged. Think
(02:06):
of it like choosing the music for your life. Play
something uplifting. Ever get stuck in a loop of negative
self talk, maybe after a tough day at work or
when facing a new challenge. I've definitely been there. One time,
I was prepping for a big presentation and my mind
went into overdrive with doubts. What if I mess up?
What if people think I'm not qualified? Quote dot. I
(02:27):
had to consciously stop myself and reframe those thoughts. I
reminded myself of past successes, visualize the presentation going smoothly,
and focused on the message I wanted to share. Guess what,
It turned out great. The takeaway here is that self
talk is a powerful tool. You can choose to let
negativity dictate your actions or consciously shift to positive affirmations
(02:48):
and build confidence. Remember you are capable, you are worthy,
and you have the power to create a life you love.
So what's one thing you're going to do today to
challenge your negative self talk? If you write down three
positive affirmations or share this episode with someone who needs
a little boost of confidence, every small step counts, keep
