Self-Talk - DMN8 the Day 132


Listen Later

Pulling out all the stops in January to make you a better you, because that's all that typically is holding you back from achieving what it is that you need to achieve. So let's talk about self-talk. If you know anything about me, I like the books that are read to you, audible. My favorite app, one of my favorite books to listen to is David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me, man is a f*cking machine. But the thing that David Goggins preaches is self-talk. The way you talk to yourself is the way that you will produce. And typically we like to talk down to ourselves when you should be talking up to yourself and you should be talking in a positive way that you know, you deserve what is out there. And so I ask you what self-talk are you having with yourself on a daily basis? What are you yourself you can achieve? I've coached sports, had multiple teams. And I can tell you there have been many, many times when I've walked on the court with my team in my, in my heart, I was like, man, I hope we don't get our *ss kicked because that team's really f*cking good. But then I looked at my team and I knew that that team wanted to win that f*cking game. And so the talk was you do what you came here to do, you do your job, we'll win this game. And I was fortunate, I think over my career of basketball having over a 700% win percentage and we played some tough competition at times. And we didn't back down. We got our *ss kicked at times, but we also won a lot of times. And it was because of the talk that we gave to ourselves, either from me or for the others on the team, we weren't going to lose. We decided we were gonna lose and we told ourselves we were gonna lose. We were feed it. And so you have to be in a situation where on a daily basis, you're talking to yourself. You do deserve this. You do deserve to be better. You do deserve greatness. Instead of all the bullsh*t self-talk that keeps us down, that puts a lid on our success. That puts a lid on what the opportunity is. Change yourself talk, become positive, DMN8 the day.
