I’ve written about this in the past, but I want to take a second to talk about how incredibly important this is. Your brain is wired to respond to your thoughts. I’ve run into a lot of people at the gym lately saying things like, ‘This is heavy,’ or ‘I can’t do that.’
The instant you say that you’ll be right. Self talk like that instantly speaks to your subconscious and convinces your body that you’re going to fail. In order to be truly successful you must change your internal to dialogue. This is much easier said than done, I know, but it’s critically important. Many times the difference between making a lift and not making it is the internal dialogue not the strength. Instead of saying, ‘This is heavy,’ tell yourself that you’ve got it, and believe it.
Always try your best and you will surprise yourself. Instead of saying, ‘I can’t,’ change it to I’ll try and see what I can do. You will most likely surprise yourself. There’s a filter in your brain called the R.A.S. you can watch the video below and it’ll explain more about it.
The critical take home point is, if you talk negatively to yourself, you’ll become a self fulfilling prophesy. Believe in yourself and do your best and you’ll be much more successful!
