 “The high school is totally looking out for me.”  I am still a little bit obsessed with these principles from The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser.  So in this episode I share a few things that I have been doing in real life - actually trying to practice that is helping me.  I have a new delusional thought as well as a way to watch basketball games that is way less stressful.  And I have found a way to reflect on my week while at church partaking of the sacrament.  Maybe these can help you too.

 "If you're having a bad day, Change your Mind and have a good day.”  This is the last installment discussing the book, The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser.  In this episode I discuss the importance of doing an AAR  or after action review after a performance, interview, or any other type of event you want to learn and grow confidence from.  Dr. Zinsser tells us of 3 steps, the what, the so what and the now what.  He gives us a list of questions that I share for each part so that you can continue to learn and gain more confidence after a successful and not so successful performance.  At the end we also learned the most important lesson of the whole book, that we can change our mind.

 “Let yourself become fascinated by what you are about to do.”  In this episode I continue to share  more from the book, The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser.  Now we learn what it takes to stay confident during the actual game.  There is a great phrase that I share from the book that can help you remember to “get out of your mind and into your senses.”  I talk of the 3 step process or the CBA of how to actually do that when you are in the arena ready to go.  Cue your conviction, Breathe your body and Attach your attention.  I explain each part of the CBA  and how to do that when you need to dig down to stay confident so you can perform your best.

 “Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.”  Happy Easter everyone!  In this episode I share thoughts about some of the ideas and principles we have learned from The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser and combine them with other principles from the Gospel of Jesus Christ and especially as we think about Jesus Christ, his suffering, death and resurrection this Easter Weekend.  I share some scriptures and ideas that relate to finding confidence with and through Christ.  Things like having the ability to choose,  thinking the best of ourselves and not being paralyzed by mistakes and building confidence despite them.  All of these things can relate to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“Let’s begin again and get back to who we really are.”  More talk about confidence,  using the information from the book, The Confident Mind, a battle-tested guide to unshakable performance by Dr. Nate Zinsser. I share ideas about how to remain confident despite failures, setbacks and mistakes.  Really relevant for me this week as I had a big failure that I share and how these tools helped me regain my confidence.  The tools or safeguards for our confidence include the constructive attitude lockdown, the last word and the shooter’s mentality.  All of which can help you keep and even gain confidence during times of mistakes, setbacks or failures.

“Yes, you are fooling yourself.  But it’s precisely by fooling yourself that you make real change.”  In this episode I continue to share more from the book, The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser.  This week we learn about envisioning our great future and being constructively delusional.  I first begin by talking a little bit about my children’s imagination and then our own imagination as adults which turns into more worst case scenario type things or foreboding joy.  Then I share from the book the technique of envisioning and using that as we learn to involve more of our senses.  This idea is quite next level mental filter but adds on to the last few ideas of seeing the best of ourselves in the past and in the present.  I love how he relates being delusional and learning to ride a bike.  Can you envision great things in your life? Well start with a lemon and go from there.
