The One Minute Turn-Around Kit
Naturally it takes time (and a bit of help and support from your coach) to fully put the inner critic in its place. But for starters here are a few ways to go from floor to soar in less than 60 seconds. OK, some of it will take practice to perfect but start right now and you can turn the inner voice of doom into a reveille of possibility.
- Imagine a time when you overcame something really difficult - an exam, a scary situation, some bad news - you triumphed then so you can do so again. Just see how brave and equipped you are.
- Drop all the "oughts" and "shoulds" and think about "want to's" and "will do's".
- Reverse every negative thought - ie. "I am not good enough" becomes "I am entirely good enough" - keep saying it until you believe it.
- Ask yourself - is beating myself up motivational or inspirational?
- Struggling to not be the person you are right now is pointless and useless
- Practice forgiveness, acceptance and mindfulness - of yourself and then others.
- Stop arguing with what is. You will lose 100% of the time.
- Don't judge how you feel. Your emotions just "are".
- Remember it's alright to be you in all your vulnerabilities, talents and weirdnesses.
- In fact it's GREAT to be you - full stop!
- In the great scheme of things will it matter?
- Even this shall pass.
Take time out when you feel your head is fit to bust with negative thoughts, stress, anxieties and fears and practice just one of the above for a minimum of a minute, breathe deeply as see you and the world in perspective again.
