Use this mind hack today...

Making high achieving men unstoppable. Welcome to The Peak Performance Project.
“I’m too busy…”
“I don’t have time”
“This won’t work for me”
“I can’t do this”
Sound familiar?
These are all things that I have said in the past when working on my business…
And if I could go back,
I would give myself this message…
The one I am going to give to you right now,
And I hope it helps you get better results,
Going forwards.
Until you change the language you use you will never reach your goals…
Again,
Until you change the language you use you will never reach your goals…
You’re thinking “that’s crazy” aren’t you?
In fact
It’s something I learned when reading the Three Laws of Performance,
In it the book talks about how the words we use
have an impact on our behaviours
and how we feel about ourselves,
which impacts on our potential.
Because
here’s the thing,
Your subconscious brain doesn’t want you to be a liar…
It knows dishonesty is not good.
So it will fight to prove what you say to yourself true.
So,
when you say
“I can’t do this”
it then goes to work on PROVING you right.
Your brain knows that nobody likes a liar,
So it puts up barriers
and distracts your attention.
It can make you feel hungry
and even lower your energy levels too,
It does whatever it can to make you right.
Crazy right?
So how can we use this to HELP ourselves?
When coaching clients I tell them
they can be right or effective,
NOT both.
When changing your behaviours you can hold onto your stories or you can change the script,
And that starts with using future based language which supports your goals.
“I will do this”
“I can do that”
“I’m learning to achieve this”
You can even call it a little mind hack if you like…
So,
if find that yourself stuck when trying to progress in your overall lifestyle,
Just remember how your subconscious mind
can work with your OR against you…
Totally up to you which one you chose
Because looking back a couple of years ago now,
At when I started changing the words I use
and once I started telling myself “I am a great coach”
my clients got better results than ever!
Don’t believe me?
Try it yourself today.
In fact while I am here…
I hope you have an awesome day too,
Mike
