We have spent time speaking about your most significant conversation. Last time you were introduced to your chatter box. This is the unrelenting chatter that is with you 24/7. The voice in your head. This is without doubt your most significant conversation. If you haven’t read this then check it out here. We then delved into fear and how this fuels the chatter, you can check that out here.
Then we talked about understanding your chatter. What are your fears? What holds you back? You can check that out here. Last time we spoke about having a good old CHAT with yourself and challenging the chatter so that you can achieve your goals, you can refresh your memory on this here.
To challenge the chatter all you need to do is FLIP IT!
Yep, that’s what I said, FLIP IT! All you do is grab that negative chatter, which in essence is a “What if?” followed by a negative statement – “What if I don’t lose weight?”
FLIP IT – “How great am I going to feel when I reach my goal, I feel stronger, I have more energy and I didn’t give up.”
“What if I make this call and they say No?”
FLIP IT – “How proud will I feel when I get this call done, regardless of the outcome I am getting better and better, soon I will be achieving my goals. I will no longer fear a No. If I don’t make the call the answer is always no!”
All you need to do is work out what you are saying to yourself that is causing the fear and turn it around to a more encouraging statement. I know it sounds too easy, and it really is.
Most of the time we are walking around unaware that this negative chatter is driving our behavior. This is one of the reasons it is your most significant conversation. By shining a light on it there is nowhere to hide, you have the keys to turn things around and have the life you dream of. All it takes is a few simple steps in the right direction.
Don’t be a slave to the negative chatter anymore, have a CHAT with yourself, FLIP IT and before you know it, you will be achieving more than you realised was possible
Until next time,
Until next time, Care, Connect and be a Courageous Communicator. Let’s change the world we live in one conversation at a time.
