Show Notes:
Key Topics Discussed:
1. Why Your Inner Dialogue Shapes Your Reality
- The stories you tell yourself create the lens through which you see the world.
- Neuroscience shows that your brain is constantly interpreting data based on your inner script.
- If your script is negative, your actions will align with that belief—even if it’s not true.
2. How the Inner Critic Keeps You Stuck
- The inner critic thrives on fear, doubt, and past failures.
- It’s often rooted in childhood experiences, societal conditioning, or past setbacks.
- The inner critic sounds like:
- "You'll never follow through."
- "You always mess up."
- "You're not the kind of person who can do this."
3. Strengthening Your Inner Coach
- Your inner coach is the voice of resilience, wisdom, and possibility.
- The inner coach helps you:
- Believe in your ability to grow and adapt.
- Focus on small wins that build momentum.
- Reframe failures as lessons, not proof of inadequacy.
4. How to Rewrite Your Internal Narrative
Step 1: Notice the Script
- Carry a journal and track negative self-talk.
- Ask yourself: What do I tell myself when things get hard?
Step 2: Challenge Every Limiting Belief
- "Is this actually true, or just a thought I’ve repeated?"
- "What if the opposite were true?"
- "Would I say this to someone I love?"
Step 3: Choose a New Identity
- Stop waiting for proof—act as if you’re already the person you want to become.
- Example: Instead of saying "I'm bad at sales," say "I'm learning how to be more confident in sales."
