You have the mental skills within you to be your best in stressful conditions.

You just need to cultivate them.

Try these self-talk strategies the next few times you’re nervous and see what works best for you in different moments.

You might find what works in one moment doesn’t work in another. So keep testing. Your best is a continuous process.

Consider this. Neglecting to imagine and plan for what could go wrong is ~causing~ your negative thinking. It’s why you don’t fully trust yourself.

You imagine the worst case scenario and get consumed by it because you don’t know how you’d respond. So you avoid thinking about it.

Coincidently, this causes more negative thinking because your mind wants to think about it. Your mind wants to prepare for the worst case.

So give your mind what it wants. Imagine what could go wrong and plan the best way you could respond. Give your mind a reason to trust itself.

I believe we consistently have access to the state of mind when we feel and perform our best. But too often we get in our own way.

This journal seeks to change that.

It offers a way to free your mind wherever you go. A way to train your confidence, focus, and composure.

Take it with you to practice. Take it to work or school. Keep it beside your bed.

It’s time to be your best, consistently.

The problem isn’t that you doubt yourself.

Self-doubt is normal. Everyone experiences it.

The problem is you don’t give yourself reassurance when the doubts arise.

Next time you experience self-doubt, be aware of it and simply remind yourself of why you deserve to be where you are.

I believe your core confidence comes from a place of knowing who you are and fully embracing that self. Complete self-acceptance.

I used to think gratitude wasn’t for me.

I figured it was just “appreciating life”. And I already appreciate life, thank you very much.

But over the past few years I’ve been fortunate to gain a little more awareness of my internal monologue. The voice in my head that loves to focus on what could go wrong.

What I’ve noticed is the thoughts in my mind can be trained. I can get more used to thinking one way versus another.

Part of this comes from deliberately paying attention to the good things around me.

Since I’ve started doing this daily, it’s become a habit to find the good in difficult situations.

This is the foundation of an optimistic mindset, and it’s a habit of mind I’ll always be shooting for.

Facebook let’s get clear on this right here.
“High performance” (however that appears in your life) is about maintaining your authentic self despite the challenging circumstances. Once you can be calm, confident, focused, and optimistic in environments that used to disrupt the command of your mental/emotional/technical skills, you’re well on your way to living with a high performance mindset.

Did you know most animals breathe through the nose when they run? Until recently, I hadn't the slightest clue. For the sake of performance and well-being, it's nice to know.

Imagine you're exercising. Your heart rate is high. Your breathing is heavy...

By consistently looking for things that are good in the present moment, you train your ability to find what could be good in the future.

You are so damn important. Even when it doesn’t feel like it, you are worth so much more than your depression.

Most importantly, you’re not alone. There is always help and there is always hope.

When we open up and talk about mental health struggles, we loosen its hold on us. We prove to ourselves and others that it doesn’t dictate who we are.

✳️ So show your vulnerable side. It’s the STRONGEST part of you. ✳️

Talk to friends. Talk to family. Talk to mental health professionals. Talk to me. This goes for those of us who are struggling AND those of us who are ready to help. Start the conversation.

With optimism,
Scott
