By not dwelling on or believing the doubts and fears in our heads, we can be more powerful and productive.

The first step to being powerful
- 2. You can’t control the things that you say to yourself, but you can control what you listen to. For far too long we’ve been sold the lie that you can learn to “silence the inner critic.” You can’t! It’s how we are hard wired. Our mind is our “frenemy.” It’s helps us to solve the most amazing challenges in our outer world, but when we turn those problem solving skills internally, to try to solve our pain, fear and doubt, it backfires. So stop wasting your time trying to control your thoughts and feelings.
- 3. When you hear words like this inside your head “I really screwed that up! What an idiot! That has cost me big time. I don’t even know if I can pull it back from here,” then don’t spend time analysing it.
- 4. Don’t suck it up, don’t tough it out, don’t “man up,” don’t get over it, don’t harden up. Just get on with it!
- 5. You don’t need to own your story, you don’t need to talk to yourself as a friend, you don’t need to first see your own self as powerful enough to act, you don’t need to grant yourself power. You simply need to say that famous four-letter word that all high performers scream after failure – NEXT!
- 6. If you spend time inside your head listening to the negativity, fear and doubt then you end up dancing with it and doing a bunch of ridiculous and non productive things to get over it.
- 7. You’d do much better to not start dancing with it in the first place. But that’s the challenge – the voices are in your head – so you should take them seriously, right? Wrong. Just because those voice are in there, you don’t have to believe them. Doubt your doubts. That’s the first step to being powerful.
