(00:00):
Every successful person has one thing in common,
self-discipline. If you're ready to build yours,
the self-discipline Hacks guide will show you how.
Link in the description. Your confidence, your
discipline, your success. It all starts with the words you
use in your own mind. If you fill your head with
doubt, hesitation and negativity, your actions will
(00:21):
reflect it. But if you train yourself to
speak with power, certainty, andbelief, your life will follow.
Most people are their own worst enemy.
They tear themselves down in ways they would never do to
someone else. They replay their failures,
criticize their abilities, and reinforce their own limitations.
(00:44):
And because they repeat these thoughts daily, they start to
believe them. They create a pattern, a cycle,
a mindset that keeps them stuck in the same place.
But what happens when you changethe way you speak to yourself?
What happens when you talk to yourself with the same
(01:05):
encouragement, certainty, and strength that you would give a
close friend? What happens when you stop
feeding yourself excuses and start reinforcing success?
(01:25):
You change, your actions change,your results change, and over
time your entire identity shifts.
It takes 21 days to build a habit and if you commit to
changing yourself talk for 21 days, you will see a
transformation in your thinking,your confidence, and your
(01:46):
ability to take action. The words you use become your
reality and the good news? You have complete control over
them. For the next 21 days, you must
commit to one thing. No more speaking to yourself
(02:07):
like a failure. No more telling yourself why you
cannot. No more reinforcing the version
of you that hesitates, doubts and makes excuses.
Instead, you will speak in a waythat pushes you forward.
You will use words that build strength, not weakness.
You will replace negativity withpower, hesitation with
(02:29):
certainty, and self doubt with self respect.
Most people do not realize how powerful their inner dialogue
is. They assume their thoughts are
automatic. They believe their emotions
dictate their self talk. But the truth is, your mind will
believe whatever you tell it most often.
(02:52):
If you tell yourself you are disciplined, you will act
disciplined. If you tell yourself you are
confident, you will carry yourself with confidence.
If you tell yourself you are built for success, your actions
will start to reflect it. The challenge is that most
people have spent years reinforcing the wrong beliefs.
(03:15):
They have told themselves for solong that they are not good
enough, not capable, not strong enough.
And because they have said it sooften, their subconscious mind
has accepted it as fact. But beliefs can be rewritten and
it starts with the way you talk to yourself.
(03:38):
For 21 days you will replace weak self talk with strong self
talk. This is not just about
affirmations. This is about reprogramming your
mind through repetition, conviction, an action.
This is about becoming the kind of person who speaks with
certainty. And when you do that, your brain
(03:58):
rewires itself, your confidence grows, your hesitation
disappears, and before you even realize it, you have become
someone new. If you do this for 21 days, if
you commit to speaking with power, training your mind and
rejecting negativity, you will feel unstoppable.
(04:20):
You will think differently, you will act differently, and your
results will prove it. So the question is, Are you
ready to change the way you talkto yourself?
Are you ready to shift your mindset, build discipline and
create the kind of confidence that lasts?
(04:40):
If so, then for the next 21 daysyou must follow 5 principles
that will change yourself talk forever.
Because when you control your words, you control your
thoughts, and when you control your thoughts, you control
(05:00):
everything else. The first key to transforming
yourself talk in 21 days is eliminating weak language.
The words you use either create power or destroy it.
They either push you forward or pull you back.
Most people sabotage themselves without realizing it because
they fill their mind with words that create hesitation, doubt,
(05:24):
and fear. They say I'll try, but trying is
not commitment. Trying is leaving space for
failure. Trying is giving yourself an
escape route when things get tough.
You do not try. You do.
When you tell yourself I will try to wake up early, you have
(05:46):
already given yourself permission to hit snooze.
But when you say I wake up earlybecause I am disciplined, you
reinforce a different reality. They say I have to, but having
to do something creates resistance.
It makes you feel like a victim of your own life.
(06:08):
You do not have to work out. You get to.
You do not have to build your business, you choose to.
The way you frame your actions changes how you feel about them,
and when you shift your language, you shift your
results. They say I can't but can't is a
(06:28):
lie. It is an excuse that justifies
inaction. If you say I can't stay
consistent, you are reinforcing inconsistency.
If you say I can't change, you are programming your mind to
stay the same. But if you replace I can't with
I am figuring this out. You shift your focus from
(06:49):
limitation to possibility, and that shift makes all the
difference. Every time you speak, you are
reinforcing an identity. You are either conditioning
yourself for strength or for weakness, and if you want to
become unstoppable, you must train yourself to speak like
someone who is unstoppable. The first step is replacing weak
(07:15):
phrases with powerful statements.
At first, this may feel unnatural.
You have spent years reinforcingcertain beliefs through your
words. Your subconscious mind is used
to the old script. But the moment you start
speaking with strength, you begin rewiring your mind for a
new reality. The second step is speaking with
(07:39):
certainty, not hesitation. Most people speak as if they are
unsure of themselves. They use words like maybe, I
think, I guess, hopefully. These words create doubt.
They weaken your conviction. They send a message to your
brain that you are not fully committed.
And when your words lack certainty, your actions will
(08:01):
lack certainty. Successful people do not speak
in weak, uncertain terms. They speak with conviction, and
because they do, their brain responds with confidence.
Their actions follow their words, and their results prove
it. The third step is controlling
(08:23):
your inner dialogue in difficultmoments yourself.
Talk is most important when you face resistance.
Anyone can think positively whenthings are going well, but how
do you talk to yourself when things get hard?
When doubt creeps in, When you want to quit?
(08:44):
Most people let their emotions dictate their self talk.
They tell themselves this is toomuch.
I don't know if I can handle this.
Maybe I should give up. And because they repeat these
thoughts, they reinforce fear, hesitation and weakness.
(09:05):
But strong people, they control their thoughts, especially in
difficult moments. When things get tough, they say
I was built for this. When they feel tired, they say I
keep going no matter what. When things do not go their way,
they say I find a way to win. And because they speak to
(09:29):
themselves with power, their actions follow.
The fourth step is eliminating self deprecating talk.
Most people joke about their flaws.
They say things like I'm just lazy, I always procrastinate,
I'm not good at anything. They think they are being funny,
(09:49):
but what they are really doing is reinforcing a negative
self-image. They are being funny, but what
they are really doing is reinforcing a negative
self-image. Your brain does not know the
difference between a joke and a belief.
(10:10):
If you keep saying I'm bad at this, your mind will accept it
as reality. If you keep saying I always
fail, you will subconsciously act in ways that make failure
inevitable. You must stop speaking about
yourself in a way that weakens you.
(10:30):
Every time you talk about yourself, you are giving your
subconscious mind a command, andif you want to build confidence,
you must speak like someone who is already confident.
The final step is making powerful self talk a habit.
This is not something you do once and forget about.
(10:53):
This is something you practice daily.
Every time you speak, every timeyou think, every time you face a
challenge. Every morning, set the tone for
the day with strong words. When you wake up, tell yourself
I am disciplined, I am focused, I am capable of achieving
anything. Before you start a task, say I
(11:15):
execute with confidence and energy.
When you feel resistance, tell yourself I push through no
matter what. At first, this will take effort.
You will have to catch yourself when weak self talk slips in.
You will have to consciously replace old patterns with new
(11:37):
ones. But over time, strong self talk
will become natural. You'll become automatic.
And when that happens, everything changes.
So ask yourself, am I speaking like someone who is strong,
disciplined and confident? Or am I reinforcing old patterns
of hesitation and doubt? Because once you master yourself
(12:01):
talk, you master your mindset. And once you master your
mindset, nothing can stop you. Once you eliminate weak
language. The next key to transforming
yourself talk in 21 days is building an internal dialogue
that reinforces confidence and certainty.
(12:21):
Most people talk to themselves in a way that makes them shrink.
They doubt, they second guess, they hesitate, and because they
repeat these patterns daily, their mind adapts to them.
Their actions become weak because their thoughts are weak.
Confidence is not something you are born with, it is something
(12:44):
you condition. It is something you build
through repetition and it startswith how you speak to yourself.
The way you talk to yourself creates the way you see
yourself, and the way you see yourself determines what you
become. The first step to reinforcing
confidence is speaking about yourself as if you are already
(13:08):
the person you want to be. Most people say I want to be
confident, I want to be disciplined, I hope I can stay
focused. But the moment you say I want to
be, you are reinforcing that youare not yet that person.
You are creating distance between who you are and who you
(13:28):
want to become, and that distance weakens your mindset.
Confident people do not wish to be confident.
They do not hope to be strong. They claim it.
They own it. They do not say I want to be
disciplined, they say I am disciplined.
They do not say I hope I succeed.
They say I create success. They do not say I need to be
(13:54):
more confident. They say I am confident,
disciplined. They do not say I hope I
succeed. They say I create success.
They do not say I need to be more confident, They say I am
confident. The way you frame your identity
(14:16):
matters. If you want to be confident,
speak as if you are confident. If you want to be disciplined,
speak as if you are disciplined.Your mind will adapt to the
identity you reinforce most often.
The second step is eliminating uncertainty from your language.
Most people speak in ways that weaken their conviction.
(14:39):
They say things like, I think I can do this, I'll try my best,
maybe it'll work. These statements contain doubt.
They leave space for hesitation.They signal to your brain that
you are not sure of yourself, and when you are not sure, you
hesitate. Confident people speak with
(15:02):
absolute certainty. They do not say I think I can do
this. They say I will do this.
They do not say I'll try. They say I do what is necessary.
They do not say maybe I'll succeed.
They say I make success inevitable.
(15:25):
The way you phrase things changes how your brain processes
them. If you speak with hesitation,
your actions will reflect hesitation.
If you speak with certainty, your actions will reflect
certainty. The third step is repeating
powerful statements until they become your default thoughts.
Most people are not aware of howoften they repeat the same self
(15:47):
defeating phrases. They say things like I'm not
good enough, I always mess up, I'm not built for this.
And because they say these things so often, their brain
accepts them as truth. Their identity forms around them
and their results reflect them. But just as negative thoughts
(16:11):
can be conditioned, so can powerful ones.
If you tell yourself every day Iam built for success, your brain
will accept it. If you repeat I find a way to
win, your actions will start aligning with that belief.
If you reinforce, I push through.
No matter what, your discipline will reflect it.
(16:34):
The key is repetition. Your mind learns through
consistent reinforcement. If you tell yourself something
once, it will not stick. But if you tell yourself
something every day for 21 days,it will become automatic.
It will become the dominant thought pattern in your mind and
once it becomes automatic, confidence follows effortlessly.
(16:58):
The fourth step is using self talk to override fear and
hesitation. Fear is what stops most people
from taking action. They hesitate, they second
guess, they let doubt creep in and their self talk feeds the
fear. They tell themselves what if I
fail? What if I embarrass myself?
What if I'm not ready? And because they focus on fear,
(17:21):
they become paralyzed. Talk feeds the fear.
They tell themselves. What if I fail?
What if I embarrass myself? What if I'm not ready?
And because they focus on fear, they become paralyzed.
Confident people override fear with certainty.
(17:42):
When doubt creeps in, they counter it with strength.
When hesitation appears, they speak with power.
They do not entertain weak thoughts, they replace them with
strong ones. The mind will believe whatever
it hears. Most often.
If you feed it fear, it will respond with hesitation, but if
(18:02):
you feed it confidence, it will respond with bold action.
The final step is training your mind to always find a way
forward. Weak self talk focuses on
limitations. It focuses on why things will
not work, why it is too hard, why success is impossible.
(18:23):
But confident self talk always looks for solutions.
It always asks how do I make this happen?
Your mind is a problem solving machine, but it will only find
solutions if you train it to look for them.
If you constantly speak in a waythat assumes you will succeed,
your mind will start finding ways to make it true.
(18:47):
So ask yourself, am I reinforcing confidence or
feeding doubt? Am I speaking with certainty or
hesitation? Am I training my mind to find
solutions or excuses? Because once you take control of
your internal dialogue, you takecontrol of everything else.
(19:08):
Once you reinforce confidence inyourself talk, the next key to
transforming yourself in 21 daysis removing emotional weakness
from your words. The way you speak to yourself
determines how you respond to discomfort, setbacks, and
pressure. Most people let their emotions
control their words, and becauseof that, their words weaken
(19:32):
them. They reinforce frustration,
hesitation, and stress through the language they use.
But strong people, they train their mind to use words that
create resilience, not weakness.Most people say I feel tired, I
(19:53):
feel overwhelmed, I feel like giving up.
They constantly remind themselves of their exhaustion,
their stress, their struggle. And because they repeat these
words, they make the feelings stronger.
They give power to their emotions instead of controlling
them. Your emotions are not in charge
(20:17):
of you. Your words shape your emotions.
Your words shape your energy. Your words shape your ability to
push forward. If you want to become stronger,
you must speak like someone who is strong, especially when
things get difficult. You must speak like someone who
is strong, especially when things get difficult.
(20:38):
The first step to removing emotional weakness from yourself
talk is replacing reactionary language with intentional
language. Most people speak reactively.
They say whatever they feel in the moment without realizing
that their words are reinforcingthose feelings.
They feel tired, so they say I'mexhausted.
They feel stressed, so they say this is overwhelming.
(21:02):
They feel unmotivated, so they say I don't feel like doing
this. But strong people speak
intentionally. They do not give energy to
weakness. They do not reinforce feelings
that hold them back. When they feel tired, they say I
have the energy to push through.When they feel stressed, they
(21:23):
say I handle pressure with strength.
When they feel unmotivated, theysay I take action no matter how
I feel. Your words can either amplify
negative emotions or override them.
The choice is yours. The second step is removing
(21:44):
victim language from yourself. Talk.
Most people use words that make them feel powerless.
They say things like this alwayshappens to me, why is everything
so hard? I have the worst luck.
But this type of language reinforces the idea that life is
happening to them instead of them taking control.
(22:06):
Strong people do not speak like victims.
They do not complain, they do not make excuses.
They take full responsibility for their actions, their mindset
and their results. Your brain believes what you
tell it most often. If you speak like a victim, you
(22:26):
will feel powerless. If you speak like someone in
control, you will become unstoppable.
The third step is controlling your words.
In high pressure situations, most people let stress dictate
their self talk. When things go wrong, they
immediately react with frustration.
(22:47):
They say things like this is toomuch, I can't handle this, I
don't know what to do. And because they repeat these
phrases, they reinforce a feeling of helplessness.
But strong people use self talk to stay composed under pressure.
(23:08):
They do not allow chaos to control their mind.
When things go wrong, they say Iremain calm and in control.
When pressure increases, they say I perform well under stress.
When they do not have an immediate solution, they say I
always figure things out. Your words dictate your
(23:33):
emotional state. If you use language that
reinforces stress, you will feeloverwhelmed.
If you use language that reinforces control, you will
stay composed and in high pressure situations.
Composure is the difference between success and failure.
(23:55):
The fourth step is removing hesitation from yourself.
Talk. Most people speak in a way that
creates uncertainty. They hesitate in their words,
and that hesitation translates into their actions.
They say, I'll see if I can do it.
I hope I can stay consistent. Maybe I'll follow through.
(24:17):
But these phrases leave room forfailure.
They create doubt before action is even taken.
Strong people remove hesitation from their words.
They do not leave space for weakness.
Confidence is built through certainty, and certainty starts
(24:40):
with the way you speak to yourself.
The final step is making self talk a tool for relentless
action. The people who succeed the most
are the ones who take action consistently, without waiting
for motivation, without overthinking, without
hesitation. They don't sit around waiting to
(25:03):
feel ready. They make themselves ready
through their words and their actions.
Most people talk themselves out of action.
They think too much. They analyze too much.
They let small excuses build into big roadblocks.
But the most successful people, they use self talk to force
(25:25):
themselves into motion. When they feel resistance, they
say I take action immediately. When they feel doubt, they say I
trust myself and move forward. When their emotions try to slow
them down, they say I am disciplined and I follow through
no matter what. And because they speak this way,
(25:49):
they train themselves to act this way.
They condition their brain for relentless execution.
They make action their default state.
So ask yourself, am I using words that make me stronger or
weaker? Am I speaking like a victim or
like someone in control? Am I reinforcing hesitation or
(26:10):
am I training my mind for certainty?
Because once you remove emotional weakness from yourself
talk, you remove excuses from your life.
And when there are no excuses left, there's nothing stopping
you. Once you remove emotional
weakness from yourself talk, thenext key to transforming
(26:33):
yourself in 21 days is conditioning your mind for
resilience and discipline. Most people lose momentum
because their words make them fragile.
They let setbacks break their confidence.
They let discomfort stop them. They let the first sign of
(26:55):
struggle make them question everything but strong people.
They train their self talk to turn pressure into power.
Resilience is not about avoidingfailure.
It is about using failure to become stronger.
It is not about feeling motivated every day.
(27:15):
It is about showing up whether you feel like it or not.
And discipline is not about waiting for inspiration, it is
about making your actions non negotiable.
The first step to conditioning your mind for resilience is
reframing failure through your words.
Most people talk about failure as if it is final.
(27:36):
They say I failed so maybe this isn't for me.
I keep messing up. I don't know if I can do this.
And because they speak this way,they program their mind to fear
failure instead of learning fromit.
Successful people speak about failure differently.
(27:57):
They do not say I failed. They say I learned.
They do not say I keep making mistakes.
They say I keep getting better. They do not say this is too
hard. They say I get stronger with
every challenge. Your mind follows the meaning
(28:19):
you give to failure. If you see it as proof that you
are not good enough, you will hesitate.
But if you see it as part of theprocess, you will keep moving
forward. The second step is using self
talk to create discipline instead of relying on
motivation. Most people speak as if their
emotions control their actions. They say, I don't feel like
(28:41):
working out today. I'm not in the mood to get
things done. I'll wait until I'm motivated,
but this type of thinking creates inconsistency.
If yourself talk is based on feelings, your actions will
always be unpredictable. I'm not in the mood to get
things done. I'll wait until I'm motivated,
(29:05):
but this type of thinking creates inconsistency.
If yourself talk is based on feelings, your actions will
always be unpredictable. Your words must reflect
commitment, not emotion. If you train your mind to speak
like someone who follows through, you will start acting
(29:26):
like someone who follows through.
The third step is removing hesitation from your decision
making process. Most people lose momentum
because they overthink. They let fear create delays.
They hesitate. They second guess.
They wait too long to take action.
And the longer they wait, the more doubt builds in their mind.
(29:54):
Hesitation is a killer. It weakens confidence.
It makes small tasks feel overwhelming.
It allows excuses to take over. But strong people do not
hesitate. They make decisions fast.
They trust themselves. They train their mind to act
immediately. Confidence comes from action,
(30:17):
not overthinking, and action starts with how you speak to
yourself. The fourth step.
Every successful person has one thing in common,
self-discipline. If you're ready to build yours,
the self-discipline Hacks guide will show you how.
Link in the description. Your confidence, your
discipline, your success. It all starts with the words you
use in your own mind. If you fill your head with
doubt, hesitation and negativity, your actions will
(00:21):
reflect it. But if you train yourself to
speak with power, certainty, andbelief, your life will follow.
Most people are their own worst enemy.
They tear themselves down in ways they would never do to
someone else. They replay their failures,
criticize their abilities, and reinforce their own limitations.
(00:44):
And because they repeat these thoughts daily, they start to

a mindset that keeps them stuck in the same place.
But what happens when you changethe way you speak to yourself?

You will use words that build strength, not weakness.
You will replace negativity withpower, hesitation with
(02:29):
certainty, and self doubt with self respect.
Most people do not realize how powerful their inner dialogue
is. They assume their thoughts are
automatic. They believe their emotions
dictate their self talk. But the truth is, your mind will
believe whatever you tell it most often.
(02:52):
If you tell yourself you are disciplined, you will act
disciplined. If you tell yourself you are
confident, you will carry yourself with confidence.
If you tell yourself you are built for success, your actions
will start to reflect it. The challenge is that most
people have spent years reinforcing the wrong beliefs.
(03:15):

has accepted it as fact. But beliefs can be rewritten and
it starts with the way you talk to yourself.

certainty. And when you do that, your brain
(03:58):

not commitment. Trying is leaving space for

You do not try. You do.
When you tell yourself I will try to wake up early, you have

But when you say I wake up earlybecause I am disciplined, you
reinforce a different reality. They say I have to, but having

It makes you feel like a victim of your own life.
(06:08):
You do not have to work out. You get to.
You do not have to build your business, you choose to.
The way you frame your actions changes how you feel about them,
and when you shift your language, you shift your
results. They say I can't but can't is a
(06:28):
lie. It is an excuse that justifies

to the old script. But the moment you start

(08:01):
lack certainty. Successful people do not speak
in weak, uncertain terms. They speak with conviction, and
because they do, their brain responds with confidence.
Their actions follow their words, and their results prove
it. The third step is controlling
(08:23):
your inner dialogue in difficultmoments yourself.
Talk is most important when you face resistance.
Anyone can think positively whenthings are going well, but how
do you talk to yourself when things get hard?
When doubt creeps in, When you want to quit?
(08:44):
Most people let their emotions dictate their self talk.
They tell themselves this is toomuch.
I don't know if I can handle this.
Maybe I should give up. And because they repeat these
thoughts, they reinforce fear, hesitation and weakness.
(09:05):
But strong people, they control their thoughts, especially in
difficult moments. When things get tough, they say
I was built for this. When they feel tired, they say I
keep going no matter what. When things do not go their way,
they say I find a way to win. And because they speak to
(09:29):
themselves with power, their actions follow.
The fourth step is eliminating self deprecating talk.
Most people joke about their flaws.
They say things like I'm just lazy, I always procrastinate,
I'm not good at anything. They think they are being funny,
(09:49):
but what they are really doing is reinforcing a negative
self-image. They are being funny, but what
they are really doing is reinforcing a negative
self-image. Your brain does not know the
difference between a joke and a belief.
(10:10):
If you keep saying I'm bad at this, your mind will accept it
as reality. If you keep saying I always
fail, you will subconsciously act in ways that make failure
inevitable. You must stop speaking about
yourself in a way that weakens you.
(10:30):
Every time you talk about yourself, you are giving your
subconscious mind a command, andif you want to build confidence,
you must speak like someone who is already confident.
The final step is making powerful self talk a habit.
This is not something you do once and forget about.
(10:53):
This is something you practice daily.
Every time you speak, every timeyou think, every time you face a
challenge. Every morning, set the tone for
the day with strong words. When you wake up, tell yourself
I am disciplined, I am focused, I am capable of achieving
anything. Before you start a task, say I
(11:15):
execute with confidence and energy.
When you feel resistance, tell yourself I push through no
matter what. At first, this will take effort.
You will have to catch yourself when weak self talk slips in.
You will have to consciously replace old patterns with new
(11:37):
ones. But over time, strong self talk
will become natural. You'll become automatic.
And when that happens, everything changes.
So ask yourself, am I speaking like someone who is strong,
disciplined and confident? Or am I reinforcing old patterns
of hesitation and doubt? Because once you master yourself
(12:01):
talk, you master your mindset. And once you master your
mindset, nothing can stop you. Once you eliminate weak
language. The next key to transforming
yourself talk in 21 days is building an internal dialogue
that reinforces confidence and certainty.
(12:21):
Most people talk to themselves in a way that makes them shrink.
They doubt, they second guess, they hesitate, and because they
repeat these patterns daily, their mind adapts to them.
Their actions become weak because their thoughts are weak.
Confidence is not something you are born with, it is something
(12:44):
you condition. It is something you build
through repetition and it startswith how you speak to yourself.
The way you talk to yourself creates the way you see
yourself, and the way you see yourself determines what you
become. The first step to reinforcing
confidence is speaking about yourself as if you are already
(13:08):
the person you want to be. Most people say I want to be
confident, I want to be disciplined, I hope I can stay
focused. But the moment you say I want to
be, you are reinforcing that youare not yet that person.
You are creating distance between who you are and who you
(13:28):
want to become, and that distance weakens your mindset.
Confident people do not wish to be confident.
They do not hope to be strong. They claim it.
They own it. They do not say I want to be
disciplined, they say I am disciplined.
They do not say I hope I succeed.
They say I create success. They do not say I need to be
(13:54):
more confident. They say I am confident,
disciplined. They do not say I hope I
succeed. They say I create success.
They do not say I need to be more confident, They say I am
confident. The way you frame your identity
(14:16):
matters. If you want to be confident,
speak as if you are confident. If you want to be disciplined,
speak as if you are disciplined.Your mind will adapt to the
identity you reinforce most often.
The second step is eliminating uncertainty from your language.
Most people speak in ways that weaken their conviction.
(14:39):
They say things like, I think I can do this, I'll try my best,
maybe it'll work. These statements contain doubt.
They leave space for hesitation.They signal to your brain that
you are not sure of yourself, and when you are not sure, you
hesitate. Confident people speak with
(15:02):
absolute certainty. They do not say I think I can do
this. They say I will do this.
They do not say I'll try. They say I do what is necessary.
They do not say maybe I'll succeed.
They say I make success inevitable.
(15:25):
The way you phrase things changes how your brain processes
them. If you speak with hesitation,
your actions will reflect hesitation.
If you speak with certainty, your actions will reflect
certainty. The third step is repeating
powerful statements until they become your default thoughts.
Most people are not aware of howoften they repeat the same self
(15:47):
defeating phrases. They say things like I'm not
good enough, I always mess up, I'm not built for this.
And because they say these things so often, their brain
accepts them as truth. Their identity forms around them
and their results reflect them. But just as negative thoughts
(16:11):
can be conditioned, so can powerful ones.
If you tell yourself every day Iam built for success, your brain
will accept it. If you repeat I find a way to
win, your actions will start aligning with that belief.
If you reinforce, I push through.
No matter what, your discipline will reflect it.
(16:34):
The key is repetition. Your mind learns through
consistent reinforcement. If you tell yourself something
once, it will not stick. But if you tell yourself
something every day for 21 days,it will become automatic.
It will become the dominant thought pattern in your mind and
once it becomes automatic, confidence follows effortlessly.
(16:58):
The fourth step is using self talk to override fear and
hesitation. Fear is what stops most people
from taking action. They hesitate, they second
guess, they let doubt creep in and their self talk feeds the
fear. They tell themselves what if I
fail? What if I embarrass myself?
What if I'm not ready? And because they focus on fear,
(17:21):
they become paralyzed. Talk feeds the fear.
They tell themselves. What if I fail?
What if I embarrass myself? What if I'm not ready?
And because they focus on fear, they become paralyzed.
Confident people override fear with certainty.
(17:42):
When doubt creeps in, they counter it with strength.
When hesitation appears, they speak with power.
They do not entertain weak thoughts, they replace them with
strong ones. The mind will believe whatever
it hears. Most often.
If you feed it fear, it will respond with hesitation, but if
(18:02):
you feed it confidence, it will respond with bold action.
The final step is training your mind to always find a way
forward. Weak self talk focuses on
limitations. It focuses on why things will
not work, why it is too hard, why success is impossible.
(18:23):
But confident self talk always looks for solutions.
It always asks how do I make this happen?
Your mind is a problem solving machine, but it will only find
solutions if you train it to look for them.
If you constantly speak in a waythat assumes you will succeed,
your mind will start finding ways to make it true.
(18:47):
So ask yourself, am I reinforcing confidence or
feeding doubt? Am I speaking with certainty or
hesitation? Am I training my mind to find
solutions or excuses? Because once you take control of
your internal dialogue, you takecontrol of everything else.
(19:08):
Once you reinforce confidence inyourself talk, the next key to
transforming yourself in 21 daysis removing emotional weakness
from your words. The way you speak to yourself
determines how you respond to discomfort, setbacks, and
pressure. Most people let their emotions
control their words, and becauseof that, their words weaken
(19:32):
them. They reinforce frustration,
hesitation, and stress through the language they use.
But strong people, they train their mind to use words that
create resilience, not weakness.Most people say I feel tired, I
(19:53):
feel overwhelmed, I feel like giving up.
They constantly remind themselves of their exhaustion,
their stress, their struggle. And because they repeat these
words, they make the feelings stronger.
They give power to their emotions instead of controlling
them. Your emotions are not in charge
(20:17):
of you. Your words shape your emotions.
Your words shape your energy. Your words shape your ability to
push forward. If you want to become stronger,
you must speak like someone who is strong, especially when
things get difficult. You must speak like someone who
is strong, especially when things get difficult.
(20:38):
The first step to removing emotional weakness from yourself
talk is replacing reactionary language with intentional
language. Most people speak reactively.
They say whatever they feel in the moment without realizing
that their words are reinforcingthose feelings.
They feel tired, so they say I'mexhausted.
They feel stressed, so they say this is overwhelming.
(21:02):
They feel unmotivated, so they say I don't feel like doing
this. But strong people speak
intentionally. They do not give energy to
weakness. They do not reinforce feelings
that hold them back. When they feel tired, they say I
have the energy to push through.When they feel stressed, they
(21:23):
say I handle pressure with strength.
When they feel unmotivated, theysay I take action no matter how
I feel. Your words can either amplify
negative emotions or override them.
The choice is yours. The second step is removing
(21:44):
victim language from yourself. Talk.
Most people use words that make them feel powerless.
They say things like this alwayshappens to me, why is everything
so hard? I have the worst luck.
But this type of language reinforces the idea that life is
happening to them instead of them taking control.
(22:06):
Strong people do not speak like victims.
They do not complain, they do not make excuses.
They take full responsibility for their actions, their mindset
and their results. Your brain believes what you
tell it most often. If you speak like a victim, you
(22:26):
will feel powerless. If you speak like someone in
control, you will become unstoppable.
The third step is controlling your words.
In high pressure situations, most people let stress dictate
their self talk. When things go wrong, they
immediately react with frustration.
(22:47):
They say things like this is toomuch, I can't handle this, I
don't know what to do. And because they repeat these
phrases, they reinforce a feeling of helplessness.
But strong people use self talk to stay composed under pressure.
(23:08):
They do not allow chaos to control their mind.
When things go wrong, they say Iremain calm and in control.
When pressure increases, they say I perform well under stress.
When they do not have an immediate solution, they say I
always figure things out. Your words dictate your
(23:33):
emotional state. If you use language that
reinforces stress, you will feeloverwhelmed.
If you use language that reinforces control, you will
stay composed and in high pressure situations.
Composure is the difference between success and failure.
(23:55):
The fourth step is removing hesitation from yourself.
Talk. Most people speak in a way that
creates uncertainty. They hesitate in their words,
and that hesitation translates into their actions.
They say, I'll see if I can do it.
I hope I can stay consistent. Maybe I'll follow through.
(24:17):
But these phrases leave room forfailure.
They create doubt before action is even taken.
Strong people remove hesitation from their words.
They do not leave space for weakness.
Confidence is built through certainty, and certainty starts
(24:40):
with the way you speak to yourself.
The final step is making self talk a tool for relentless
action. The people who succeed the most
are the ones who take action consistently, without waiting
for motivation, without overthinking, without
hesitation. They don't sit around waiting to
(25:03):
feel ready. They make themselves ready
through their words and their actions.
Most people talk themselves out of action.
They think too much. They analyze too much.
They let small excuses build into big roadblocks.
But the most successful people, they use self talk to force
(25:25):
themselves into motion. When they feel resistance, they
say I take action immediately. When they feel doubt, they say I
trust myself and move forward. When their emotions try to slow
them down, they say I am disciplined and I follow through
no matter what. And because they speak this way,
(25:49):
they train themselves to act this way.
They condition their brain for relentless execution.
They make action their default state.
So ask yourself, am I using words that make me stronger or
weaker? Am I speaking like a victim or
like someone in control? Am I reinforcing hesitation or
(26:10):
am I training my mind for certainty?
Because once you remove emotional weakness from yourself
talk, you remove excuses from your life.
And when there are no excuses left, there's nothing stopping
you. Once you remove emotional
weakness from yourself talk, thenext key to transforming
(26:33):
yourself in 21 days is conditioning your mind for
resilience and discipline. Most people lose momentum
because their words make them fragile.
They let setbacks break their confidence.
They let discomfort stop them. They let the first sign of
(26:55):
struggle make them question everything but strong people.
They train their self talk to turn pressure into power.
Resilience is not about avoidingfailure.
It is about using failure to become stronger.
It is not about feeling motivated every day.
(27:15):
It is about showing up whether you feel like it or not.
And discipline is not about waiting for inspiration, it is
about making your actions non negotiable.
The first step to conditioning your mind for resilience is
reframing failure through your words.
Most people talk about failure as if it is final.
(27:36):
They say I failed so maybe this isn't for me.
I keep messing up. I don't know if I can do this.
And because they speak this way,they program their mind to fear
failure instead of learning fromit.
Successful people speak about failure differently.
(27:57):
They do not say I failed. They say I learned.
They do not say I keep making mistakes.
They say I keep getting better. They do not say this is too
hard. They say I get stronger with
every challenge. Your mind follows the meaning
(28:19):
you give to failure. If you see it as proof that you
are not good enough, you will hesitate.
But if you see it as part of theprocess, you will keep moving
forward. The second step is using self
talk to create discipline instead of relying on
motivation. Most people speak as if their
emotions control their actions. They say, I don't feel like
(28:41):
working out today. I'm not in the mood to get
things done. I'll wait until I'm motivated,
but this type of thinking creates inconsistency.
If yourself talk is based on feelings, your actions will
always be unpredictable. I'm not in the mood to get
things done. I'll wait until I'm motivated,
(29:05):
but this type of thinking creates inconsistency.
If yourself talk is based on feelings, your actions will
always be unpredictable. Your words must reflect
commitment, not emotion. If you train your mind to speak
like someone who follows through, you will start acting
(29:26):
like someone who follows through.
The third step is removing hesitation from your decision
making process. Most people lose momentum
because they overthink. They let fear create delays.
They hesitate. They second guess.
They wait too long to take action.
And the longer they wait, the more doubt builds in their mind.
(29:54):
Hesitation is a killer. It weakens confidence.
It makes small tasks feel overwhelming.
It allows excuses to take over. But strong people do not
hesitate. They make decisions fast.
They trust themselves. They train their mind to act
immediately. Confidence comes from action,
(30:17):
not overthinking, and action starts with how you speak to
yourself. The fourth step.
