Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, brand and call here your friendly neighborhood guide
to unlocking the inner stowed badass. Ever, feel like your
brain's playing a never ending loop. If you can't do this,
you're not good enough. Where this is doomed to fail? Yeah,
me too. But guess what, we don't have to let
those negative thoughts run the show. This podcast is all
about building resilience and discipline, and that starts with mastering

(00:21):
our minds. Today we're diving headfirst into how to overcome
those pesky self doubt gremlins and build the fortress of
confidence around you. Ready to level up? Let's get real
for a second. We've all been there, right, that annoying
feeling in your god that whispers, that's before you even
take the first step. It can show up when you're
about to start a new project, to tackle a challenging situation,

(00:43):
or even just walk into a room full of people.
But here's the kicker. Those negative thoughts on facts. They're
just stories our brains sometimes tell us, and just like
any story, we have the power to rewrite it. Now.
I'm not saying becoming a stoke, sad master happens overnight.
It take work, But trust me, the payoff is immense.

(01:03):
Here are five key takeaways to help you silence those
self doubt demons and unleasure in a champion one. Awareness
is key. First things. First, you gotta become aware of
those negative thought patterns. Pay attention to what's going on
in your head. When self doubt creeps in. What triggers it?
Either specific situations or people that bring it on. Once

(01:24):
you know your enemy, you can start to disow on
them to challenge the narrator. Ever heard the phrase fake news, Well,
sometimes those negative thoughts are just fake brain news. When
that inner critic starts chirping away, ask yourself, is this
really true? What evidence to you I have to support
this thought? Often you'll find that those doubts are based

(01:45):
on fear, assumptions, or past experiences that don't apply anymore.
They reframe your perspective. This is a game changer, folks.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, try reframing your thoughts
in a more positive light. Instead of thinking I'm going
to fail, try I'm going to learn from this experience
regardless of the outcome. Far celebrate your wins, dig or

(02:09):
small acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments. This helps build confidence
and reminds you of your capabilities. Remember that time you
ease that presentation or nail that tricky workout, those are
victories worth celebrating. Five practice self compassion. Be kind to yourself.
Everyone makes mistakes, doubts themselves, and faces setbacks. Instead of

(02:32):
beating yourself up over it, treat yourself with the same
understanding and compassion you would offer a friend. Now, let
me paint your picture. Imagine Sarah a talented artist who's
been struggling with self doubt for years. She has amazing ideas,
but often hesitates to share her work because she fears criticism.
She tells herself things like my art isn't good enough
or people won't like it. One day, she decides to

(02:54):
try out those reframing techniques we talked about. Instead of
focusing on the fear of failure, she stalks to think
about the joy she experiences when creating art and the
potential connection she could have with others through her work.
She takes a deep breath, steps outside her comfort zone
and shares one of her pieces online. To her surprise,
she receives positive feedback and encouragement from people who appreciate

(03:15):
her unique style and talent. Sarah realizes that those negative
thoughts weren't facts. They were just holding her back from
sharing her gift to the world. So remember, you're not
alone in this journey. We all face self doubt at
some point. But by becoming aware of those thoughts, challenging them,
reframing your perspective, celebrating your wins, and practicing self compassion,

(03:35):
you could silence those in our critics in unleash your
full potential. You are capable of amazing things. Don't let
anything hold you back. Ready to take action. Stop by
identifying a situation with self doubt creeps in for you,
then try applying one of the techniques we discussed today.
Share your experience with me on social media. I'd love
to hear how it goes, and remember every day is

(03:56):
a fresh start. Keep those store cribs high and let's
crush it together. This podcast is powered by AI to
