[0:00] Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to confidence
[0:04] Speaker 1: on Command. You know that feeling when you're about to
[0:07] Speaker 1: step up and speak your truth, but your inner critic
[0:10] Speaker 1: starts whispering doubts in your ear. You're not prepared enough,
[0:14] Speaker 1: it murmurs. They'll think you're an idiot. Sound familiar. Well,
[0:19] Speaker 1: guess what, We've all been there. But here's the game changer.
[0:24] Speaker 1: You have the power to silence that negative voice and
[0:28] Speaker 1: rewrite those internal scripts. Today we're diving deep into the
[0:33] Speaker 1: magic of positive self talk, a simple yet incredibly powerful
[0:38] Speaker 1: tool to supercharge your confidence, especially when it comes to
[0:42] Speaker 1: public speaking. Think about it this way. Your mind is
[0:46] Speaker 1: like a garden. If you constantly feed it negativity, what
[0:50] Speaker 1: do you get? A tangled mess of weeds. But if
[0:57] Speaker 1: you cultivate kindness, encouragement, and positive affirmations, you will blossom
[1:02] Speaker 1: into a confident powerhouse. Let's break down five key takeaways
[1:07] Speaker 1: to unlock the power of positive self talk. One. Become
[1:12] Speaker 1: aware of your inner critic. First things. First, recognize those
[1:16] Speaker 1: negative thought patterns. Pay attention to what your inner critic
[1:20] Speaker 1: is saying. Is it telling you that you're not good enough,
[1:25] Speaker 1: smart enough, worthy of being heard? Once you identify these
[1:30] Speaker 1: harmful voices, you can start to challenge them. Two. Challenge
[1:35] Speaker 1: negative thoughts. Don't just accept those whispers as truth. When
[1:40] Speaker 1: that voice pipes up, ask yourself, is this really true?
[1:44] Speaker 1: What evidence do I have to support this thought? Often
[1:48] Speaker 1: you'll find that your negative thoughts are based on assumptions,
[1:51] Speaker 1: not facts. Replace those limiting beliefs with empowering affirmations. Three
[2:00] Speaker 1: practice positive self talk. This isn't about becoming a Pollyanna
[2:05] Speaker 1: and ignoring the world's challenges. It's about consciously choosing to
[2:10] Speaker 1: focus on your strengths and abilities and bah. Instead of
[2:15] Speaker 1: saying I'm going to mess this up, try I am
[2:18] Speaker 1: prepared and capable. Repeat these affirmations throughout the day, especially
[2:23] Speaker 1: before public speaking events. For focus on your strengths. Everyone
[2:29] Speaker 1: has unique talents and skills. Make a list of yours.
[2:33] Speaker 1: Are you a fantastic storyteller? Do you have a knack
[2:36] Speaker 1: for connecting with people? Remind yourself of these strengths whenever
[2:41] Speaker 1: you feel self doubt creeping in. Five, visualize success. Picture
[2:47] Speaker 1: yourself delivering your speech confidently and engagingly. See the audience
[2:52] Speaker 1: responding positively. Visualization is a powerful tool to reprogram your
[2:59] Speaker 1: subcod mind and build belief in your abilities. Ever felt
[3:05] Speaker 1: like you're about to give a presentation. Your heart is
[3:08] Speaker 1: pounding and your palms are sweating. That's totally normal, but
[3:12] Speaker 1: imagine this. You walk onto the stage, take a deep breath,
[3:17] Speaker 1: and remember those positive affirmations you've been practicing. You feel calm, collected,
[3:24] Speaker 1: and ready to share your message with the world. That's
[3:27] Speaker 1: the power of positive self talk. It can transform your
[3:31] Speaker 1: anxiety into excitement, your doubts into determination. Let me give
[3:37] Speaker 1: you a real world example. I once had a friend
[3:41] Speaker 1: named Sarah who was terrified of public speaking. She'd get
[3:45] Speaker 1: all shaky and stumble over her words, but she started
[3:49] Speaker 1: incorporating positive affirmations into her daily routine. I am a
[3:54] Speaker 1: confident speaker. My voice deserves to be heard. Slowly, but surely,
[4:00] Speaker 1: she noticed a shift. Her anxiety lessened, her voice grew stronger,
[4:04] Speaker 1: and she even started enjoying public speaking. Remember, confidence isn't
[4:09] Speaker 1: about being perfect, It's about believing in yourself and your
[4:13] Speaker 1: ability to show up authentically. So start practicing positive self
[4:19] Speaker 1: talk today and watch your confidence sore. All right, awesome listeners,
[4:25] Speaker 1: let's recap our key takeaways. Become aware of those negative
[4:29] Speaker 1: inner voices, challenge those thoughts with evidence and logic. Practice
[4:34] Speaker 1: positive affirmations regularly. Focus on your strengths and accomplishments. Visualize
[4:41] Speaker 1: yourself succeeding in public speaking situations. Remember you've got this,
[4:47] Speaker 1: you are capable, you are worthy, and your voice matters.
