In yesterday’s email…
I touched on the topic of personal identity as a key factor for habit change and high performance.
So today I want to continue with that principle…
And talk about one of the BEST ways to start shifting your identity.
Here’s what I mean:
Do you ever call yourself names?
Most people do. Even if they don’t realize it.
Things like…
"I’m Introverted" "I’m always late" "I’m not good at sales" "I’m bad at making videos"
But why label yourself like this?
What does that do for you?
Why handicap yourself before you even begin?
What’s the point of painting yourself into a corner?
Labels only limit you.
If this is the self-talk you speak to yourself...
Do you think that you’ll ever change those bad habits?
Of course not!
But shifting your identity is probably the greatest “success hack” for every area of life.
Believing in your abilities is essential.
Belief comes from building self-confidence.
Confidence is built through acts of competence.
And keeping the promises you make to yourself.
The more you “show up” for yourself — and follow through on doing what it takes to build a better life…
The more confident you will become.
But first we must get rid of the negative self-talk.
And so my challenge to you this weekend is to enroll some public accountability...
From your partner, friends, work colleagues, followers, coach — whoever…
And ask them to STOP you whenever they hear you using negative self-talk.
When they hear you say, “I’m always late”...
They need to raise their hand and call you out.
They need to hear you correct yourself...
“I won’t be late again.”
And most importantly, make sure to correct your inner chatter... the unspoken words... so that you stop constantly burning negative thought patterns into your nervous system.
If you really want to go to the next level...
It’s time to shed past habits & identities...
And step into your greatness.
You’re ready for it!
Success Loves Speed,
Craig
