[0:00] Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Confidence
[0:04] Speaker 1: on Command public speaking. Addition, today we're diving into something
[0:11] Speaker 1: seriously powerful, the magic that happens when you sprinkle a
[0:15] Speaker 1: little positivity into your self talk before stepping up to
[0:19] Speaker 1: the mic. Ever, feel like those butterflies in your stomach
[0:22] Speaker 1: are more like a swarm of anxious bees buzzing around. Yeah,
[0:27] Speaker 1: I get it. We all have those moments where public
[0:30] Speaker 1: speaking feels like scaling Mount Everest. But what if I
[0:35] Speaker 1: told you there's a secret weapon something you can wield
[0:39] Speaker 1: every time you prepare to speak. It's not some fancy
[0:43] Speaker 1: technique or magic trick. It's the power of positive self talk.
[0:49] Speaker 1: Think about it. Your brain is constantly chattering away, whether
[0:52] Speaker 1: you're aware of it or not. Those thoughts are like
[0:55] Speaker 1: little seeds that grow into beliefs and actions. So what
[1:00] Speaker 1: if we start planting seeds of confidence instead of fear.
[1:04] Speaker 1: Here's the deal. Positive self talk isn't about faking it
[1:08] Speaker 1: till you make it. It's about rewiring your brain to
[1:11] Speaker 1: see yourself as capable and confident. You know those inner
[1:16] Speaker 1: voices that say things like I'm going to mess this up,
[1:20] Speaker 1: or everyone's going to judge me. Time to silence those
[1:24] Speaker 1: negativity ninjas. Here are five key takeaways to boost your
[1:28] Speaker 1: confidence through positive self talk. One flip the script. When
[1:34] Speaker 1: you catch yourself thinking negatively, actively challenge those thoughts. Instead
[1:40] Speaker 1: of saying, I'm not good at public speaking, try I'm
[1:44] Speaker 1: getting better at this every time I practice. It's like
[1:47] Speaker 1: a mental high five, celebrating your progress and setting yourself
[1:51] Speaker 1: up for success. Two. Focus on your strengths. What are
[1:58] Speaker 1: you really good at. Maybe it's storytelling, connecting with people,
[2:02] Speaker 1: or presenting clear information. Instead of focusing on what you
[2:07] Speaker 1: think you lack, remind yourself of your unique talents. We
[2:11] Speaker 1: all have something special to offer, so let that shine. Three.
[2:18] Speaker 1: Three visualize success. Ever, notice how athletes often visualize winning
[2:25] Speaker 1: before a big game. It's not magic, it's powerful psychology.
[2:30] Speaker 1: Close your eyes and imagine yourself delivering your speech with confidence, clarity,
[2:36] Speaker 1: and impact. Feel the energy of the audience, see their smiles,
[2:41] Speaker 1: hear their applause. Make it as real as possible. Four.
[2:46] Speaker 1: Use affirmations. Think of affirmations as positive PEP talks for
[2:51] Speaker 1: your mind. You are simple phrases like I am a
[2:57] Speaker 1: confident speaker or I have valuable insights to share can
[3:03] Speaker 1: work wonders when repeated. Regularly, write them down, say them
[3:07] Speaker 1: out loud, or even set reminders on your phone. The
[3:11] Speaker 1: more you reinforce those beliefs, the stronger they become. Five.
[3:18] Speaker 1: Practice makes progress. You wouldn't expect to be a pro
[3:23] Speaker 1: musician after a single lesson right public speaking is a
[3:28] Speaker 1: skill that takes time and practice. Don't beat yourself up
[3:32] Speaker 1: over mistakes. Celebrate every opportunity to speak, even if it's
[3:37] Speaker 1: just in front of your mirror or a few friends.
[3:41] Speaker 1: You know those times when you nailed a presentation and
[3:44] Speaker 1: felt like you could conquer the world. That's the power
[3:48] Speaker 1: of positive self talk inaction. It shifts your mindset from
[3:53] Speaker 1: fear to excitement, from doubt to determination. And guess what,
[3:59] Speaker 1: It's not just it's about sounding confident. It's about genuinely
[4:02] Speaker 1: believing in yourself and your ability to communicate effectively. Remember
[4:08] Speaker 1: that time you had to give a presentation at work,
[4:11] Speaker 1: or maybe even that school project you dreaded ever felt
[4:16] Speaker 1: the not in your stomach, the butterflies fluttering around like crazy.
[4:20] Speaker 1: I bet you did. Well. Imagine now, instead of that
[4:25] Speaker 1: anxious feeling, you walk into the room feeling calm, collected,
[4:29] Speaker 1: and ready to rock. It. You're not just presenting information,
[4:33] Speaker 1: You're sharing your ideas with passion and conviction. That's what
[4:37] Speaker 1: positive self talk can do. It unlocks your potential and
[4:41] Speaker 1: empowers you to become the confident communicator you always wanted
[4:45] Speaker 1: to be. So go ahead and sprinkle some positivity into
[4:50] Speaker 1: your next speech prep session. Challenge those negative thoughts, visualize success,
[4:56] Speaker 1: and remind yourself that you've got this. Remember, confidence isn't
[5:02] Speaker 1: something you're born with, it's a skill you develop one
[5:06] Speaker 1: positive thought at a time. Don't forget to share this
[5:09] Speaker 1: episode with any one who could use a confidence boost,
