Your self-talk is blocking you from being at your best

When it comes to athletic pursuits, self-talk plays a significant role in shaping our mindset, performance and the way we navigate pressure.

When it comes to athletic pursuits, self-talk plays a significant role in shaping our mindset and performance. Our inner dialogue about our abilities, worth, and potential can greatly impact our athletic performance and the way we react to the highs and lows that come in the pursuit of winning.

The way we perceive our ability and potential as athletes can be influenced by various factors, including our upbringing and past experiences and results. If we have internalized a sense of lack of or inadequacy, it can show up in and around perfomance in feelings of worthlessness, sadness or even anger and hinder our ability to perform at our best.

This negative self-talk can lead to a lack of confidence, motivation, and purpose in our athletic endeavours. It can create barriers that prevent us from trusting in what we are capable of, reaching our full potential and experiencing freedom in our athletic pursuits. Your self-talk has the key to unlocking the ability to perform "freely" and sustain flow.

By recognizing the connection between our internal dialogue and athletic performance, we can work towards dissolving these self-imposed constraints and tapping into our true potential. When we shift our mindset and cultivate a sense of abundance in our potential, acceptance of where we are truly at today in the journey and worthiness to succeed, we can unlock our capacity for inspired peak performance and produce performances that put us in the best possible position to control the uncontrollable result.
