Overcoming Self-Doubt

 


You’re more talented than you know.


 


The key to reaching greatness lies in focusing on improving your
PR (personal record).


 


Personal: You.


Record: Marker of success.


PR: Your marker for success.


 


One of the greatest killers of greatness lies in comparison. It’s
easy to look at someone who’s perceivably more successful than
you and beat yourself up because you’re, “not as good as them, so
why even bother?”


 


Throughout this podcast, I share specific strategies for
overcoming fear and self-doubt, which almost always begins with
clarifying your “There.”


 


How do you know when you’ve gotten there—when you’ve reached
success? And, why does it matter…to you?


 


Another critical component to overcoming self-doubt: self-talk.
Listen in, and then shift your internal monologue from, “I’m
never going to get there, to:”


 


It’s okay, I’m okay.

I’m rockin’ it!

I’m going to make this.

One step at a time.

I just need to get through this step, and then the next.
That’s it.

I’m almost there.



 


You know the crazy on slot of negative self-talk that comes with
just about any big challenge? It’s usually only there for the
first portion of the challenge (I call it “the suck”), and then
it disappears and you realize you’ve got this.


 


What do you say to yourself to get through the suck? My go-to is
“One step at a time,” “Just this stroke (for swimming),” or “Just
this video/speech/post (my work).”


 


I’m excited to hear yours!


 


Here’s to Your Greatness,
