Self-deception, awareness, cognitive dissonance. In this episode we discuss how important it is to see things for what they are.

What is your desired outcome? What is your process to get there? The great one's understand that the daily processes are more important than the daily outcomes. Be hyper focused on your process and the outcomes will take care of themselves. Champions act like champions long before they are champions.

What are you doing to produce? Production is about putting in the work. You can read all the books you want. You can listen to all the podcasts you want. But if you want to be good, you need to produce. What could you do to be more productive today?

What's your plan? Do you know? I have people ask me all the time what the biggest mistake people make in the mental game is...and i almost always respond that it's when people don't have a plan. All the great one's face adversity at one point or another, and they are fantastic at having a plan for when adversity hits.

Are you getting sucked into the drama triangle? Do you have friends that play the victim, the rescuer, or the prosecutor on a constant basis? Draw clear and strong boundaries. When needed, let your dramatic friends go. It is important to clear the noise when you are trying to perform at the highest level possible.

Not all of your thoughts are true. Be aware of the false mental chatter that sometimes take control of you. Ask yourself 3 questions about your thoughts. 1) Where did this thought come from? 2) Is it true? 3) How is it working for me. If any of those questions are problematic, throw out the mental chatter, right now!

Start. Start today. Start with your hands trembling. Start with your heart beating through your chest. Start with your hands sweating. Please, just start. The is joy and happiness and success at the end of this road, all you have to do is start.
