Everyday Confidence - The Skillful Mind

Today’s show is all about how the mind interacts with the body. How our internal feelings are presented in the way we act. 

If we change the way we hold our body, we can change the way our mind reacts.

In this episode, I want to talk a little bit about what it takes, to use goal setting as a way to build your confidence.

The goal you’re trying to achieve, doesn’t have to be related to building your confidence at all.

Your goal could be, to be able to speak at a public meeting. It could also be to have a new car. Neither one is better than the other.

What makes the difference, is your ability to take action. 

In today's episode, I introduce a powerful questioning technique, known as GROW.

It's a process used in various aspects of personal development and the primary tool used by Life Coaches, to help their clients get clear on their goals. For our purposes, spend some time developing your goals using either SMART or WOOP first. Then, this process will help you go deeper and give you more clarity.

In today's episode, I talk about a system with three decades of studies behind it. It's from Professor of Psychology, Gabriele Oettengen.

The process is known as WOOP, which is an acronym for 'WISH', 'OUTCOME', 'OBSTACLES and PLAN.

In this episode, we’ll break down the different sections of the SMART goal setting process.

There are several tried and tested systems for setting goals and they each have their own benefits. But none of that matters when life gets in the way, or you lose interest and your motivation wanes.

In this episode I’ll share with you a process that keeps you motivated and gives you the energy and determination to reach your goals, even if things get tough.
