The heck with your thinking. Let's say your thinking is what it is, and it's riddled with doubt. You still get to choose how you behave." - Price PritchettPrice Pritchett asks the question that stops most people in their tracks: when you're ravaged with doubt, how do you act like success is certain? His answer flips everything you thought you knew about confidence. You don't wait for your thinking to change. You choose how you behave despite what's happening in your head. He calls it managing your remembering, this practice of deciding which memories get your attention. You can pull up every embarrassment, every humiliation, every time you dropped the ball. Or you can pull up the times you surprised yourself, the moments you did it right, and the wins that proved you had what it takes. We all have two voices competing for airtime inside our heads. The hero voice focuses on your strengths and accomplishments. And the villain voice, the con artist that pretends to protect you while actually keeping you small. That villain voice sounds so reasonable, so concerned. But Pritchett exposes it for what it really is: the critic that raises doubts and focuses on your weak points.Here's where it gets fascinating. Most people think the answer is more positive thinking. But research shows something different. Less negative thinking is where the real power lives. And the kicker? About 70% of your negative thinking goes completely unperceived. It's so embedded in how you move through the world that you don't even notice it operating. Pritchett explains that positive and negative thinking aren't opposite ends of one scale. They're two separate scales entirely. Which means you can keep positive thinking high while systematically cutting down the negative thoughts that sabotage you. It takes practice. It takes discipline to catch that villain voice and shut it up. But every time you choose which internal coach gets the microphone, every time you manage what you remember, and every time you act despite the doubt, you're training yourself in a different way of being. Because the coach closest to you isn't out there somewhere. It's the voice inside your head, and you decide who's talking.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
