Empowering yourself through language
- How you speak to yourself has a huge impact on your ability to succeed and stay motivated when it comes to your goals. Here are two patterns you need to cognitively reframe to increase your chances of success. First, avoid language of have to and should. These are demotivating words implying obligation. Instead of, I have to update my resume or I should update my LinkedIn, switch to, I get to, I choose to, or I want to update it. Second, have a zero-tolerance policy for self-criticism. (transition whooshing) In studies with competitive athletes, self-criticism had detrimental consequences on performance. Instead, flip to more affirming inner language. I'm ready and prepared. I'm learning through the challenges. I'll find a way to make it work. Changing what you tell yourself changes how you feel which impacts how you show up and what you achieve.
