I cannot, I will not. I do not have time, I do not understand. I'm not sure how to do it. I'm not sure anybody wants it. What happens if you remove the not?
But really in the end any excuse will do.
So when you're not sure how to do something, do you dig in and figure out a solution? Or do you start to list off all of your nots?
What happens if you remove the not?
What if you take the not completely out of the equation? What if for one week you remove the not from your vocabulary? What would happen?
Just try it out, as if the word not wasn’t even an option. You are capable of so much more than you give ourselves credit for.
Not brave enough to remove it?
If you’re not brave enough to remove it for a week. How about, try this one instead, figure out how many times in a day that you limit yourself with self-talk that you're not capable?
Any idea?
How many times does your self-talk contain you’re not able or you cannot do something? Do you have any idea, track it, promise to pay people a dollar if they hear you say the word not or limit yourself in any way.
Tracking it will cause you to pay attention to how many times you were putting the label on yourself that you cannot do something.
Change the story
What if you change that story by eliminating the not from your vocabulary and removing the not from your mindset, what would shift for you, what would change for you?
Instead, your self-talk will be filled with; I can, I will, I have time, I do understand, I am sure how to do it and I am sure somebody will want this.
That my friend is how you begin to shift and change the story. Those stories are the difference makers, those are the ways that you can reframe it.
Tell Yourself What to Do
Changing the story, just tells your mind exactly what you want. Your self-talk needs to be shifted into I will, I can, I have time, I understand.
It has to be important
Say it's important to you, believe it’s important to you. If these are truly your dreams and your goals they cannot be more important to somebody else than they are to you.
You are the one to drive it, you need to be the one to make it happen. Because there's not going to be anybody else out there that cares more about your project, that cares more about your goals, that cares more about your dreams, that cares about your vision, and that cares more about your WHY there's not going to be anybody out there that cares more than you.
Get it out of there, all the I cannot, I'm not enough, whatever it is that you have cycling through in your brain.
You need to reframe that story, you need to think of it as I may not know right now, however, I can learn. I don't have time right now, but I can find the time. I may not understand the solution now, but I will look for the solution. It's just taking that time to recenter yourself around the things that you want, instead of trying to recenter yourself on the things you don't want.
It's changing the story in your mind so you know exactly what you want to do and why you want to do it. Now go get’em, tiger, I believe in you, and I appreciate you.
