himself, his team, or his mission.

Truthfully, some of you will be
throwing hands if someone else talked

8
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:32,910
to you, the way you talk to yourself
in your head, but don't worry today,

9
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:34,800
we're taking on this invisible enemy.

10
00:00:35,310 --> 00:00:38,960
We're going to utilize a little
cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT

11
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:41,160
and start getting our head right.

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,730
So let's get into it.

13
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:49,410
Here's the million dollar question.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,270
How do men like us reach
our full potential?

15
00:00:52,815 --> 00:00:56,824
Growing to the men we dream of being
while taking care of our responsibilities,

16
00:00:57,144 --> 00:01:01,624
working, being good husbands, fathers,
and still take care of ourselves?

17
00:01:02,544 --> 00:01:04,004
Well, that's the big question.

18
00:01:04,804 --> 00:01:07,764

answer those questions and more.

19
00:01:07,935 --> 00:01:10,634
My name is Brent and welcome
to the Fallible Man Podcast.

20
00:01:14,925 --> 00:01:18,044
Today, we're diving into a common
struggle, negative self talk.

21
00:01:18,705 --> 00:01:21,865
I've yet to meet a man who did not
struggle with negative self talk.

22
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:25,504
We kick our own asses far more
than anyone else ever will.

23
00:01:26,679 --> 00:01:30,390
This is not to be confused with
holding yourself accountable.

24
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:34,190
Holding yourself accountable
has value and is important.

25
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:39,009
No, we're talking about the overly
critical, downright abusive trash

26
00:01:39,009 --> 00:01:43,379
talk we throw at ourselves for
every little thing that we perceive

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,340
as falling short in some way.

28
00:01:46,539 --> 00:01:48,300
This episode is more than
just talking, though.

29
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:51,479
It's about making a plan to
change how we talk to ourselves.

30
00:01:51,899 --> 00:01:55,259
We'll explore what negative self talk
is real quick, see how it affects our

31
00:01:55,259 --> 00:01:59,275
lives, and most importantly, Learn
practical ways to rewire ourselves.

32
00:01:59,485 --> 00:02:04,345

anymore, by the way, my name is Brent

33
00:02:04,345 --> 00:02:06,174

We'd love to hear what you think of

45
00:02:38,445 --> 00:02:39,334
I'd like to know.

46
00:02:40,224 --> 00:02:41,265
Thanks for checking us out.

47
00:02:41,265 --> 00:02:42,674
I hope you get something out of this.

48
00:02:44,265 --> 00:02:47,295
So the first step in handling your
negative self talk is just understanding

49
00:02:47,295 --> 00:02:49,724
what it is because you can't fix
something you don't understand.

50
00:02:50,434 --> 00:02:53,214
Negative self talk is the
habit of criticizing yourself,

51
00:02:53,224 --> 00:02:54,625
focusing on perceived flaws.

52
00:02:54,935 --> 00:02:57,524
and fostering a pessimistic
view about yourself.

53
00:02:58,394 --> 00:03:00,924
It harms mental well being, it
contributes to your low self

54
00:03:00,924 --> 00:03:03,285
esteem, and hinders personal growth.

55
00:03:04,045 --> 00:03:07,534
Now, some family friendly versions
of this include, I'm not good

56
00:03:07,535 --> 00:03:13,105
enough, I always mess things up, or,
oh, that's just what I do, right?

57
00:03:13,134 --> 00:03:14,635
Assuming you're gonna get it wrong.

58
00:03:16,734 --> 00:03:20,764
You hear it escape sometimes out of
people's lips when they don't really mean

59
00:03:20,764 --> 00:03:24,194
they're not, if you listen to the words
that are used, you start to hear it.

60
00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:28,110
Other times, you don't actually
hear what's going on, but Can you

61
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:31,520
imagine the storm of negativity
going on in most men's heads?

62
00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:35,260
Because if you actually thought,
stop, and are honest with yourself,

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,460
you probably can relate to this.

64
00:03:38,399 --> 00:03:41,290
Recognizing and challenging these
thoughts is crucial, though, for

65
00:03:41,290 --> 00:03:43,009
cultivating a more positive mindset.

66
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,809
Now, why do you care, right?

67
00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:48,400
If all guys struggle with
this, why should you care?

68
00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:49,830
It's this simple.

69
00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:54,540
Negative self talk significantly
affects your mood by fostering

70
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,250
stress, anxiety, low self esteem.

71
00:03:57,780 --> 00:04:01,840
It contributes to feeling sadness
and can lead to depression, reducing

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,330
motivation in your life, and
impairing problem solving abilities.

73
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,390
It actually slows your brain down.

74
00:04:08,570 --> 00:04:12,079
Persistent self criticism may
result in social withdrawal or

75
00:04:12,089 --> 00:04:13,430
physical health issues, actually.

76
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:14,190
Okay?

77
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:17,539
This problem can manifest physically.

78
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,940
Negative self talk has substantial
impact on your success.

79
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:27,245
By eroding your confidence, diminishing
your motivation, influencing your decision

80
00:04:27,245 --> 00:04:33,375
making, it fosters a fear of failure, and
it leads to procrastination and avoidance

81
00:04:33,375 --> 00:04:35,215
of challenges because you might fail.

82
00:04:36,095 --> 00:04:39,374
Performance is often hindered
as negative thoughts become self

83
00:04:39,375 --> 00:04:41,854
fulfilling prophecies, right?

84
00:04:41,874 --> 00:04:45,064
Trying to avoid that, you
actually kind of become that.

85
00:04:45,794 --> 00:04:51,545
Moreover, strained relationships and
difficulty handling criticism, May

86
00:04:51,545 --> 00:04:53,865
arise from this constant self criticism.

87
00:04:55,245 --> 00:04:59,055
The reinforcing of limiting
beliefs restricts personal and

88
00:04:59,055 --> 00:05:00,755
professional growth all over.

89
00:05:02,255 --> 00:05:07,404
Now you can take the quick version of
that and go blah, blah, blah, blah.

90
00:05:07,725 --> 00:05:09,375
It really screws up your life.

91
00:05:10,355 --> 00:05:11,475
There's a bullet point for you.

92
00:05:12,344 --> 00:05:14,224
It really screws up your life guys.

93
00:05:14,245 --> 00:05:15,444
It's holding you back.

94
00:05:16,184 --> 00:05:21,275
And it's something I would wager 90
plus percent of men struggle with

95
00:05:21,375 --> 00:05:22,765
whether they want to admit it or not.

96
00:05:22,995 --> 00:05:25,925
Like I said, you can hear it escape
in some of the terms people use.

97
00:05:27,150 --> 00:05:29,850
Even if you think they've got it
all down, you can hear it in the

98
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,210
way they talk about themselves.

99
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:34,520
So I told you guys a plan, right?

100
00:05:34,570 --> 00:05:36,059
That's, that's the point of today.

101
00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:42,570
So how do you stop negative self talk
now stopping negative self talk involves

102
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:46,750
recognizing challenging and changing
those unhelpful thought patterns.

103
00:05:47,429 --> 00:05:51,340
So here's a game plan to help you
break the cycle of negative self talk.

104
00:05:52,490 --> 00:05:53,090
Let me.

105
00:05:53,425 --> 00:05:54,945
Say this before we get started.

106
00:05:55,715 --> 00:05:57,005
It's not a one and done.

107
00:05:57,565 --> 00:05:59,105
This is a long process.

108
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:04,484
It takes a lot of work, but I promise
these five steps I'm going to share with

109
00:06:04,485 --> 00:06:09,214
you will actually help you start the
process of breaking this negative self

110
00:06:09,214 --> 00:06:11,255
talk cycle that's sabotaging your life.

111
00:06:12,774 --> 00:06:18,285
First things, practice self compassion,
treat yourself with the same kindness and

112
00:06:18,285 --> 00:06:23,195
understanding you would offer to your best
friend and the people you love the most.

113
00:06:24,224 --> 00:06:24,615
When.

114
00:06:25,495 --> 00:06:28,255
If you wouldn't blast them when
they struggle in a difficult

115
00:06:28,255 --> 00:06:30,915
situation, don't blast yourself.

116
00:06:32,405 --> 00:06:35,245
There's a difference, like I
said, between holding yourself

117
00:06:35,245 --> 00:06:40,355
accountable for something and bashing
yourself in negative self-talk.

118
00:06:40,705 --> 00:06:44,895
So be mindful of your self-talk and
replace the harsh criticism with some

119
00:06:45,015 --> 00:06:50,225
compassionate language for yourself 'cause
you wouldn't bl your best friend for that.

120
00:06:51,215 --> 00:06:51,635
Got it.

121
00:06:52,725 --> 00:06:53,775
Start there.

122
00:06:54,555 --> 00:06:55,935
It's gonna be hard.

123
00:06:56,785 --> 00:06:57,925
It's one of the harder steps.

124
00:06:58,790 --> 00:07:01,640
The second one is you
have to be aware of it.

125
00:07:02,430 --> 00:07:06,420
So pay attention to your thoughts and
identify when negative self talk occurs.

126
00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:09,460
You can't change it
without acknowledging it.

127
00:07:10,130 --> 00:07:16,160
So recognize the patterns that put you
into that mindset and isolate the specific

128
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:21,579
phrases that are your particular brand,
particular brand of negative self talk.

129
00:07:22,269 --> 00:07:24,209
All of us have three or four phrases.

130
00:07:24,229 --> 00:07:26,909
If we struggle with negative self
talk and I include myself in this

131
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:31,219
slip out of our mouths on a regular
basis or slip into our minds.

132
00:07:32,495 --> 00:07:36,915
I've been caught by guests I've
had on the show and they were like,

133
00:07:36,965 --> 00:07:39,844
Ooh, why did you use that phrase?

134
00:07:40,525 --> 00:07:40,905
Right?

135
00:07:40,934 --> 00:07:45,104
So isolate and recognize those
specific phrases that you're using.

136
00:07:45,485 --> 00:07:49,605
So you are aware of it happening
so you can do something about it.

137
00:07:50,414 --> 00:07:52,594
The third step is to challenge
those negative thoughts.

138
00:07:52,864 --> 00:07:56,825
Once you start to isolate those specific
phrases and recognize those patterns.

139
00:07:58,419 --> 00:08:02,799
When you bring them up, when you have
them, when you say them question the

140
00:08:02,799 --> 00:08:08,280
validity of that negative thought, ask
yourself, is there evidence and reliable

141
00:08:08,289 --> 00:08:13,309
data to support that crap that's coming
out of your mouth or out of your head or

142
00:08:13,329 --> 00:08:18,389
in your head, as the case may be, or if
you're just blasting out emotional and

143
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,460
frustration, do you actually have the
data to support the, what you are saying?

144
00:08:25,659 --> 00:08:26,859
Cause I really doubt you do.

145
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:29,440
I have a lot of faith in you.

146
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:33,250
I think that you are probably an
extraordinary person, whether you

147
00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:34,880
accept that about yourself or not.

148
00:08:36,409 --> 00:08:41,310
And I would wager that you blast yourself
way, way, way harder than anybody

149
00:08:41,310 --> 00:08:43,960
should and way harder than you deserve.

150
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,030
So give yourself some credit here,
recognize those words and go, is there

151
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,820
evidence to support what I'm saying?

152
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,310
Is there evidence to support
the way I'm treating myself?

153
00:08:54,570 --> 00:08:56,030
Is there reliable data?

154
00:08:56,980 --> 00:09:01,080
That makes this valid, a valid
reaction, or am I just frustrated?

155
00:09:02,569 --> 00:09:04,120
Step four is to change the verbiage.

156
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:10,069
Once you recognize those words and
those phrases, and you start evaluating

157
00:09:10,069 --> 00:09:14,039
them, you need to replace the negative
and limiting statements with a

158
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,190
positive, growth related verbiage.

159
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:22,380
This is weird, I know, but it
actually has a major impact.

160
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:28,365
As you learn your particular phrases,
like, I'm not good enough can become I'm

161
00:09:28,365 --> 00:09:29,725
growing into the person I want to be.

162
00:09:31,845 --> 00:09:33,835
Or let's, let's simplify it, right?

163
00:09:33,835 --> 00:09:35,045
Let's get real basic.

164
00:09:35,435 --> 00:09:45,595
I can't can become, I will with more
effort takes more to say has a more

165
00:09:45,615 --> 00:09:52,434
intensive thought because as the quote
goes, if you say you can't, you're right.

166
00:09:53,814 --> 00:09:55,444
It's that self limiting belief.

167
00:09:56,035 --> 00:09:58,875
So start changing the words
once you recognize them.

168
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:02,834
Be aware of those words, be aware
of those phrases, be aware of what

169
00:10:02,844 --> 00:10:06,714
they are, challenge the validity
of them, and start changing the

170
00:10:06,724 --> 00:10:08,015
verbiage coming out of your mouth.

171
00:10:08,465 --> 00:10:10,824
Because if it's coming out of your
mouth, it's already going through

172
00:10:10,824 --> 00:10:14,055
your head and probably in your
heart, and it's holding you back.

173
00:10:14,125 --> 00:10:15,555
And you need to start reprogramming.

174
00:10:16,815 --> 00:10:18,795
Number five, we're getting
into the science here, okay?

175
00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:24,305
So, this is scientifically proven to
work to create new neural pathways.

176
00:10:25,665 --> 00:10:28,675
to help you deal with negative self talk.

177
00:10:29,425 --> 00:10:30,365
This is not Brent.

178
00:10:30,475 --> 00:10:31,485
You can look this up.

179
00:10:33,819 --> 00:10:36,440
And I have to preface that because y'all
are going to go, this is stupid, Brent.

180
00:10:38,089 --> 00:10:39,680
I know that was my reaction.

181
00:10:39,909 --> 00:10:40,510
Guess what?

182
00:10:40,629 --> 00:10:41,470
I was wrong.

183
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:46,240
Repeat this to yourself 20
times every single morning.

184
00:10:46,829 --> 00:10:48,300
First thing, when you get out of bed.

185
00:10:49,629 --> 00:10:52,999
Every day in every way, I'm
getting better and better.

186
00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:59,229
Repeat it 10 times every time you start
to blast yourself with negative self talk.

187
00:11:00,379 --> 00:11:02,420
Then again, before you go to bed.

188
00:11:03,010 --> 00:11:06,670
Every day in every way, I'm
getting better and better.

189
00:11:08,385 --> 00:11:12,385
Now, I know that sounds like
a crock, guys, but it's not.

190
00:11:13,305 --> 00:11:16,935
I promise you, I'm not flapping
something saying it's science,

191
00:11:16,935 --> 00:11:18,174
it's not actually science.

192
00:11:18,964 --> 00:11:20,835
Hopefully you know me
better than that by now.

193
00:11:21,334 --> 00:11:24,074
This is legitimate,
even if it sounds lame.

194
00:11:25,324 --> 00:11:29,214
Every day, in every way, I'm
getting better and better.

195
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:35,464
This literally starts to create new,
positive neural pathways in your brain to

196
00:11:35,464 --> 00:11:38,935
help you change that verbiage and to help
you get rid of the negative self talk.

197
00:11:40,984 --> 00:11:44,264
Breaking the habit of negative
self talk takes time and practice.

198
00:11:44,274 --> 00:11:44,974
It's not going to be fast.

199
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,645
It's going to be something you have
to work at and work at and work at.

200
00:11:50,695 --> 00:11:56,415
These five steps will help you have a plan
of action for the moment in that moment.

201
00:11:56,875 --> 00:11:58,505
And it's something that
you can apply today.

202
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:03,504
Consistency in applying these strategies
can lead to a more positive and

203
00:12:03,505 --> 00:12:06,345
constructive mindset with practice.

204
00:12:06,825 --> 00:12:07,975
and consistency.

205
00:12:08,185 --> 00:12:10,445
I'm really hammering the word consistency.

206
00:12:10,875 --> 00:12:15,065
This is work guys, but it's
work that's worth doing.

207
00:12:15,725 --> 00:12:19,925
Some other strategies that you can
help with this negative self, used to

208
00:12:19,925 --> 00:12:23,054
help with the negative self talk and
that you can explore to get this monkey

209
00:12:23,055 --> 00:12:28,025
off your back on top of this five step
process that we are talking about doing.

210
00:12:28,385 --> 00:12:30,685
That's an on the moment response.

211
00:12:30,755 --> 00:12:31,175
Okay.

212
00:12:31,425 --> 00:12:34,725
That's the process you want to
attack right then as it's happening.

213
00:12:35,725 --> 00:12:38,285
Mindfulness and meditation
practices have been proven to help.

214
00:12:39,035 --> 00:12:43,125
focusing on being solution oriented
instead of problem oriented, right?

215
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:49,415
Pez, uh, be optimistic instead of
pessimistic, basically surrounding

216
00:12:49,415 --> 00:12:52,964
yourself with a better circle of people
who are going to call you out on this.

217
00:12:53,544 --> 00:12:57,504
And guys, we are not helping
each other as men by not calling

218
00:12:57,505 --> 00:12:58,594
our friends on this bull crap.

219
00:12:58,604 --> 00:13:01,735
Cause we do all the time in
conversations, we put ourselves

220
00:13:01,735 --> 00:13:06,820
down and our friends are just like,
Oh, We go with it instead of going,

221
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:09,110
stop talking about like that, right?

222
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:12,319
It's stupid resist comparisons.

223
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,889
Social media is really bad for
fueling this, not egging social

224
00:13:15,889 --> 00:13:17,260
media, just egg social media.

225
00:13:18,219 --> 00:13:22,320
But a lot of times we get on social media
and can we compare our lives to the 1

226
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,599
percent snapshots of somebody else's.

227
00:13:25,390 --> 00:13:28,859
So resist comparison because that
will absolutely fuel that negative

228
00:13:28,859 --> 00:13:31,839
self talk seeking professional help.

229
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:33,300
If it is really bad.

230
00:13:33,755 --> 00:13:36,615
If you beat yourself up all
the time, there's no shame

231
00:13:37,245 --> 00:13:38,954
in getting professional help.

232
00:13:39,194 --> 00:13:43,515
And they can actually work with you with
what I was talking about earlier, which is

233
00:13:46,575 --> 00:13:47,955
cognitive behavioral.

234
00:13:48,915 --> 00:13:50,444
If I say this right, I'm
going to say it wrong.

235
00:13:50,724 --> 00:13:52,405
Cognitive behavioral therapy.

236
00:13:52,985 --> 00:13:53,565
Okay.

237
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:57,865
We're practicing that with these
five steps, but they can help you.

238
00:13:57,875 --> 00:14:01,815
It's been a very effective way to help
people get rid of that negative self talk

239
00:14:02,755 --> 00:14:05,604
or try developing your gratitude practice.

240
00:14:05,604 --> 00:14:07,095
You know, we're big fans of that here.

241
00:14:07,464 --> 00:14:11,185
And I promise that actually helps
you with this as well as dealing

242
00:14:11,185 --> 00:14:13,025
with negative self talk is crucial.

243
00:14:13,359 --> 00:14:17,349
For both personal and professional
success by actively challenging

244
00:14:17,359 --> 00:14:20,849
negative thoughts and adopting a
positive mindset, you can rebuild

245
00:14:20,849 --> 00:14:22,619
your confidence and your motivation.

246
00:14:23,259 --> 00:14:26,249
It's not only improved decision
making and performance, but it also

247
00:14:26,249 --> 00:14:30,159
leads to healthier relationships and
a better way of handling setbacks.

248
00:14:31,260 --> 00:14:34,189
Overcoming limiting beliefs
allows for continual personal

249
00:14:34,189 --> 00:14:35,069
and professional growth.

250
00:14:36,114 --> 00:14:39,105
By prioritizing self compassion, right?

251
00:14:39,105 --> 00:14:41,975
Treating yourself like your friend
with, instead of like you do and

252
00:14:41,975 --> 00:14:45,395
using effective techniques like
cognitive behavioral therapy and

253
00:14:45,395 --> 00:14:48,824
positive affirmations, like we talked
about, I know sounding kind of lame.

254
00:14:49,344 --> 00:14:50,444
But it works.

255
00:14:51,134 --> 00:14:56,625
Individuals set themselves on a path
forward, empowering environment.

256
00:14:57,274 --> 00:14:59,405
Success isn't just about
external achievements.

257
00:14:59,405 --> 00:15:03,524
It's about having the right mindset
that propels individuals towards their

258
00:15:03,525 --> 00:15:06,084
goals with determination and confidence.

259
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:08,714
Guys, go back, listen to it again.

260
00:15:08,714 --> 00:15:13,875
If you need to write down the
affirmation, I know it seems weird.

261
00:15:15,535 --> 00:15:17,745
Maybe not making too big of a
deal of it, but if I think it's

262
00:15:17,745 --> 00:15:19,305
weird, you probably will too.

263
00:15:20,055 --> 00:15:23,635
Every day in every way, I'm
getting better and better.

264
00:15:24,864 --> 00:15:25,584
Try it out.

265
00:15:25,865 --> 00:15:26,845
Take it for a spin.

266
00:15:27,055 --> 00:15:28,245
What, what do you got to lose?

267
00:15:28,245 --> 00:15:28,605
Right?

268
00:15:29,585 --> 00:15:32,185
Be better tomorrow because what you do
today, we'll see you on the next one.
