Listen To Episode 731 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] The Power of Self-Talk
  • The words we use are described as 'spells' and 'little prayers' that impact our mental state
  • The narrative about pain can keep us stuck (e.g., saying 'I'm in pain' vs. 'I'm healing')
  • The unconscious mind constantly listens to our self-talk
  • Our brain receives 11 million bits of information per second but can only process 50-120 bits
  • Neuroplasticity enables our brains to create new neural pathways through repeated thoughts
[10:15] Disempowering Language Patterns
  • Common disempowering phrases: 'I can't,' 'I should,' 'I'm bad,' 'I'm not smart enough'
  • Learned patterns often pass down through family generations
  • Spend 24 hours noticing how you speak to yourself
  • The phrase 'I have to' creates a feeling of obligation and burden
  • Replacing 'I have to' with 'I get to' shifts from obligation to opportunity
  • The etymology of 'should' comes from Old English meaning debt, obligation, or duty
[20:30] Replacing 'I don't know'
  • 'I don't know' is a definite response that closes off possibilities
  • Replace 'I don't know' with 'I'm figuring it out' or 'I'm learning how'
  • The connection between disempowering language and lack of trust in intuition
  • When we replace definitiveness with curiosity, it opens up possibilities
  • Curiosity is lost during arguments when we get triggered (prefrontal cortex activity decreases)
[30:45] Eliminating 'Try' + 'Maybe'
  • 'Try' implies potential failure and provides a backdoor excuse not to succeed
  • Replace 'try' with 'I will' or 'I'm going to do my very best'
  • 'Maybe' steals our ability to take action and indicates a lack of conviction
  • 'Maybe' often serves as a safety net in case we're wrong
  • Replace 'maybe' with 'I commit to' or 'I believe'
  • The importance of balancing high standards of communication with grace for ourselves
