Self Love Mini Series Day 4: Self Efficacy Building Confidence and Capability · Do You F*cking Mind?

0:12
Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful beans, and welcome to the Self Love Miniseries.
0:17
Speaker 1: This is day four of five days of the Self
0:20
Speaker 1: Love Miniseries. You do not have to listen to these
0:22
Speaker 1: in order, so if you are just stumbling across today's episode,
0:26
Speaker 1: it is fine to listen to this episode, but hopefully
0:28
Speaker 1: it will inspire you to go back and listen to
0:30
Speaker 1: the other three that have already come out. I'm encouraging
0:33
Speaker 1: everyone that's listening to grab a notebook and a pen
0:37
Speaker 1: or their laptops or whatever, just to drop things down
0:40
Speaker 1: that kind of resonate with them. Like most things that
0:42
Speaker 1: I put out, there's going to be certain things that
0:44
Speaker 1: really scream out to you and other things that you're like, yeah,
0:47
Speaker 1: take it or leave it. It's not really like it
0:49
Speaker 1: doesn't really resonate with me. And the point is just
0:51
Speaker 1: to go through this content and pick the pieces that
0:54
Speaker 1: work best for you and apply them as soon as possible. Okay,
0:59
Speaker 1: because it gets to a point, especially with my podcast,
1:02
Speaker 1: Like my podcast, I have just so much content on
1:04
Speaker 1: so many different scenarios that you might find yourself in
1:07
Speaker 1: in life, all of the above, but my podcast is
1:10
Speaker 1: all about you know, solutions and education, so like giving
1:15
Speaker 1: you solutions for problems that you might have, and educating
1:17
Speaker 1: you on things around psychology and neuroscience. But it can
1:21
Speaker 1: get to a point where we just consume, consume, consume,
1:24
Speaker 1: and try and build our knowledge, build our knowledge, but
1:27
Speaker 1: we never really take action on those things. And you're
1:29
Speaker 1: only going to get good if you start applying and
1:32
Speaker 1: taking action. It's not the smoothest path in the world,
1:36
Speaker 1: but it doesn't need to be. It never has to be.
1:38
Speaker 1: The point is just getting started and seeing what sticks,
1:41
Speaker 1: and then the more you do, the more things are
1:43
Speaker 1: going to stick, the more things are going to make sense. Okay,
1:46
Speaker 1: So this episode today also for those of you that
1:49
Speaker 1: are long term listeners and playing along at home and
1:51
Speaker 1: know that I normally film my episodes. There's been a
1:54
Speaker 1: few episodes here and there that I have not filmed.
1:57
Speaker 1: So if you're used to watching the video version of
1:59
Speaker 1: this on Spotify, this is just an audio version because
2:04
Speaker 1: I am currently like, when I'm recording this, as you're
2:08
Speaker 1: listening to this, I've birthed my children, but I'm currently
2:12
Speaker 1: like thirteen days away from birthing twins, and there's just
2:16
Speaker 1: days where I'm like, I'm not about the filming life.
2:18
Speaker 1: I'm not about the camera and the lights and the
2:20
Speaker 1: whole setup of the studio life. I'm about the get
2:24
Speaker 1: really cozy and roll on into my recording studio and
2:28
Speaker 1: just put the audio down and feel good about it.
2:30
Speaker 1: And that's what we're working with today, and I'm feeling
2:35
Speaker 1: fucking good about it. So hence the no video for
2:37
Speaker 1: today's episode. But the audio is just as good. We're
2:40
Speaker 1: going back to the odd school, and I kind of
2:42
Speaker 1: sometimes love just doing an audio episode every so often. Now,
2:46
Speaker 1: let's get into the episode of today, which is working.
2:52
Speaker 1: It's self love, obviously, but what we're focusing on is
2:54
Speaker 1: self efficacy. Okay, So what is self efficacy? Self efficacy
2:59
Speaker 1: is self love in action. So it is your belief
3:03
Speaker 1: that you can handle challenges, that you can learn new skills,
3:07
Speaker 1: most importantly, that you can bounce back from setbacks, knowing
3:12
Speaker 1: that you know, like you don't have to be sure
3:15
Speaker 1: about things in order to embark on things, but trusting
3:18
Speaker 1: that you're going to figure it out. So ultimately it
3:22
Speaker 1: comes down to feeling capable. So this is one word
3:26
Speaker 1: that I want you to focus on for today's episode.
3:27
Speaker 1: Write it down, highlight it, circle it a thousand times.
3:30
Speaker 1: Feeling capable. Okay, So let's look at the difference between
3:35
Speaker 1: high self efficacy versus low self efficacy. So high is
3:40
Speaker 1: someone who is optimistic problem solving. They take on risks,
3:45
Speaker 1: calculated risks, but they take on risks. They're pretty good
3:48
Speaker 1: at staying calm under pressure because they don't look at
3:50
Speaker 1: pressure as like a threat, like something that's so threatening
3:54
Speaker 1: that they can't move past it. And because of all
3:57
Speaker 1: of this, they kind of enjoyed challenging. They don't look
4:00
Speaker 1: at challenges it's something that provokes anxiety. Instead, they look
4:03
Speaker 1: at challenges as like right, okay, like rubber hands together,
4:06
Speaker 1: how we're going to tackle this. And they feel good
4:09
Speaker 1: working through a challenge even before the challenge has been
4:13
Speaker 1: kind of resolved or before they've you know, completed the thing.
4:17
Speaker 1: It feels good like the progress of that challenge is
4:21
Speaker 1: rewarding enough they don't have to have already finished it
4:24
Speaker 1: in order to feel good about it. Low self efficacy
4:28
Speaker 1: is avoidance behaviors fear of failure and rejection. Therefore avoidance
4:34
Speaker 1: because you're scared of like a negative outcome, so you
4:37
Speaker 1: don't even put yourself in the position where you may
4:39
Speaker 1: receive a negative outcome, giving up quickly. And the reason
4:42
Speaker 1: you will give up quickly is the moment you see
4:44
Speaker 1: signs that it might not work out, you don't risk it.
4:48
Speaker 1: You just think I'll quit. Well, I'm still ahead, so
4:51
Speaker 1: I don't feel like a failure. Further down the line
4:54
Speaker 1: thinking if I invest more time and I fail, then
4:57
Speaker 1: how am I going to cope with that? Assume doing
5:00
Speaker 1: failure is inevitable, So then you don't even try, when
5:05
Speaker 1: most of the time the reason people get better at
5:07
Speaker 1: things is because you know of this trial and error,
5:11
Speaker 1: whether it be a university, whether it be relationships, whether
5:15
Speaker 1: it be with fitness or with dieting, or with whatever
5:18
Speaker 1: it is that you're doing. Trial and error is just
5:20
Speaker 1: a huge component of people's lives, and those that have
5:23
Speaker 1: high self efficacy are more likely to do more trial
5:27
Speaker 1: and error behaviors than those that have low self efficacy.
5:31
Speaker 1: And because of this, the people with low self efficacy
5:34
Speaker 1: ultimately feel not capable. So again so going back to
5:38
Speaker 1: the world of being capable, So where does it come from?
5:41
Speaker 1: Where does your self efficacy comes from? Because the good
5:44
Speaker 1: thing is it's changeable. You can mold it. If you're
5:46
Speaker 1: someone with innate levels of low self efficacy, this can
5:49
Speaker 1: be changed. Okay. So it comes from to improve your
5:52
Speaker 1: self efficacy. It comes from mastery of experiences. So every
5:58
Speaker 1: time you put your mind to do something, be it
6:02
Speaker 1: big or be it small. Ideally start off small, because
6:06
Speaker 1: you know, if you're trying off, if you're just starting
6:08
Speaker 1: out trying to expand on yourself efficacy, expanding on these
6:11
Speaker 1: feelings of being capable, you want to start small. So
6:15
Speaker 1: it's not so daunting, but you're teaching your brain. You're
6:18
Speaker 1: wiring your brain saying I'm actually capable, not just capable
6:23
Speaker 1: of this task, but I'm capable of starting something new
6:27
Speaker 1: and seeing how it goes for me, seeing it through. Okay.
6:31
Speaker 1: So when we start getting better at these experiences, we
6:34
Speaker 1: start to think, oh, wait a minute, I actually can
6:36
Speaker 1: learn something from scratch. As an adult, I actually can
6:40
Speaker 1: put myself out there and get better at something. You know,
6:45
Speaker 1: if you were to if someone was to say, you know,
6:48
Speaker 1: or do you want to try surfing, you could straight
6:50
Speaker 1: away say, well, based on what I know about myself,
6:52
Speaker 1: I got really bad balance. I'm not really good in
6:54
Speaker 1: the ocean. Seeing other people's surface just made me think
6:58
Speaker 1: there's no way I can serve I once tried snowboarding
7:01
Speaker 1: and I fell over so many times, so no, no,
7:03
Speaker 1: I can't surf. I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't.
7:06
Speaker 1: And then if you were to go and do a
7:07
Speaker 1: lesson and it didn't go well for you, you didn't
7:09
Speaker 1: get to stand up once surfing, you would instantly be like, well,
7:12
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that again. I'm not going to the
7:14
Speaker 1: second lesson. I'm not going to buy a pack of lessons.
7:16
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. I'm it's just not me
7:19
Speaker 1: versus someone with high self efficacy. It's like, well, I
7:21
Speaker 1: don't I fucking ser I've never tried it, but I'll
7:23
Speaker 1: give it a go. And they go with no kind
7:26
Speaker 1: of preconceived notion of how they're going to go, open
7:29
Speaker 1: minded and relaxed, and they just do what the instructor
7:32
Speaker 1: tells them to do. They're not going in cocky being
7:34
Speaker 1: like I'm going to fucking nail this. I'm going to
7:35
Speaker 1: be so good. They're like, well, I've never done this,
7:38
Speaker 1: let's let's just see what sticks. And because there's no
7:43
Speaker 1: you know, like the steaks aren't so high, the pressure
7:47
Speaker 1: isn't there, they just do what they're told to do
7:51
Speaker 1: and they go out there in the ocean and they
7:53
Speaker 1: give it a go, and a lot of the time
7:55
Speaker 1: those are the people that end up standing up on
7:57
Speaker 1: the first time, on the first couple of attempts. This
8:00
Speaker 1: kind of beginner's luck because you enter it with no pressure,
8:03
Speaker 1: with no you know, fear of failure, so you feel
8:07
Speaker 1: good about it. Okay, So how can you apply that
8:10
Speaker 1: mentality to other things in your life that you can
8:12
Speaker 1: start to feel quite good about. So it could be
8:16
Speaker 1: I want to start getting good at the Rubik's cube,
8:20
Speaker 1: or I want to start getting good at like memory games,
8:22
Speaker 1: and I'm going to start doing like memory things on
8:25
Speaker 1: an app or maybe it's a language or an instrument
8:28
Speaker 1: or like a I want to start getting good at
8:31
Speaker 1: running or whatever whatever you want to do, but something
8:36
Speaker 1: that you can begin to master. And I don't mean
8:38
Speaker 1: master in the schemes of like legitimate mastery. I'm talking
8:42
Speaker 1: about your version of mastering something like getting good at
8:45
Speaker 1: something sense sense. The next thing is social modeling. Okay.
8:57
Speaker 1: Seeing people like you succeed at something makes you think, well,
9:04
Speaker 1: if that person can do it, so can I. Now
9:06
Speaker 1: the difference here when I talk about comparing yourself to
9:09
Speaker 1: other people is that Often people with low self advocacy
9:12
Speaker 1: look at someone that succeeded and label reasons why the succeeded,
9:17
Speaker 1: which strengthens the gap between you and that person. So,
9:21
Speaker 1: for example, all the reason they do well is because
9:23
Speaker 1: the parents have all the money in the world, or
9:25
Speaker 1: because they're really lucky, or they're really hot, or they've
9:28
Speaker 1: got really good connections or whatever, and so you come
9:32
Speaker 1: up with all these things in your head that confirm
9:36
Speaker 1: why this person was quote unquote lucky or privileged or gifted,
9:40
Speaker 1: and why they're able to do that or genetically this
9:42
Speaker 1: or genetically that, which then solidifies why you can't. But
9:47
Speaker 1: that is really unhealthy because all you're doing here is
9:50
Speaker 1: using confirmation buyers to confirm that it's not going to
9:53
Speaker 1: be possible for you, that you are not capable of
9:56
Speaker 1: doing that thing, and therefore you stay safe in this
9:58
Speaker 1: little bubble and you don't try because if you're failure
10:00
Speaker 1: of fear of rejection. So instead of that, instead of thinking,
10:03
Speaker 1: I'm going to point out all these excuses out of
10:06
Speaker 1: that person's control as to why they are successful, and
10:09
Speaker 1: I'm going to start to look at people who have
10:11
Speaker 1: succeeded because of effort, because of hard work because of
10:16
Speaker 1: a path that I also could go down if I
10:18
Speaker 1: choose to. That person has done well in their career
10:21
Speaker 1: because they put in the hard yards. They had to
10:23
Speaker 1: restructure their routine, They had to dedicate you know, sixteen
10:26
Speaker 1: hours a week just to study, but they did. It.
10:29
Speaker 1: Wasn't easy for them, and they talk about it not
10:31
Speaker 1: being easy. Intelligence didn't come naturally to them. They had
10:33
Speaker 1: to work really hard for it, but they did it.
10:35
Speaker 1: So then when you see those examples, you think, well,
10:38
Speaker 1: whether I'm going to do it or not is relevant,
10:40
Speaker 1: but I could because if that person could do it,
10:43
Speaker 1: then I could do it. You know, you look at someone,
10:46
Speaker 1: you find someone online who was like so unfit, they'd
10:49
Speaker 1: get out of breath after you know, walking fifty meters
10:52
Speaker 1: and then they go and run their first ten k
10:54
Speaker 1: run fun run. You think, well, that was all effort.
10:58
Speaker 1: That person had to start from scratch. If they can
11:01
Speaker 1: do it, so can I. Those are examples social modeling
11:06
Speaker 1: for the better For you. Start finding examples, whether it's
11:10
Speaker 1: on your social media, whether it's in person. Start curating
11:14
Speaker 1: what you consume as far as social modeling examples. This
11:19
Speaker 1: will change how you perceive what you are capable of
11:22
Speaker 1: look at people who are doing what you want to
11:25
Speaker 1: be doing as expanders and not as people that make
11:29
Speaker 1: you feel shit about yourself because you think, oh, that
11:31
Speaker 1: just proves that they they're lucky, or they were given
11:34
Speaker 1: this on a platter, or they were privileged. Now, the
11:37
Speaker 1: next one, if possible, is find the right group of
11:42
Speaker 1: people to hang around with when we're talking about trying
11:46
Speaker 1: new things and achieving new things. Okay, so this is
11:49
Speaker 1: kind of social persuasion. This is supportive friends, mentors, people
11:53
Speaker 1: that aid you in believing, kind of like building that
11:57
Speaker 1: belief in yourself and in your own ability. Now, for
12:00
Speaker 1: some people, there might not be many, and if that's
12:03
Speaker 1: the case, then I would suggest that you share what
12:07
Speaker 1: you're going to do with less and less people. If
12:09
Speaker 1: you normally are surrounded by people that cut your ideas down,
12:14
Speaker 1: I suggest you don't share your ideas with those people.
12:17
Speaker 1: And they don't have to be I'm not talking about bullies,
12:19
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about toxic people. A lot of the
12:21
Speaker 1: time we're surrounded by people who just perceive the world
12:25
Speaker 1: in a different way, or they're from a different generation
12:28
Speaker 1: or a different culture. It could be our parents even
12:30
Speaker 1: who love us, but they might be closed minded on
12:34
Speaker 1: something and when you suggest that you want to do something,
12:37
Speaker 1: they shut it down straight away. It's not because they're
12:39
Speaker 1: trying to bully you, but it's because of the lack
12:40
Speaker 1: of understanding, or it's because they're trying to protect you.
12:43
Speaker 1: So regardless whether it's toxic or whether it's out of love,
12:46
Speaker 1: pay attention to who normally will support your ideas and
12:50
Speaker 1: who doesn't, and those who don't, just don't share it
12:53
Speaker 1: with them. You're not doing them a disservice not telling
12:56
Speaker 1: them that you're going to try this new thing or
12:58
Speaker 1: start this new thing. You need to create a safe
13:01
Speaker 1: space where you feel like, yep, I've got all, you know,
13:04
Speaker 1: all cylinders firing, I've got good social modeling, I'm working
13:07
Speaker 1: on mastering this experience, and I've got good supportive network
13:11
Speaker 1: that's going to make me feel good about doing this thing.
13:14
Speaker 1: And if that's just some random forum online, if that's
13:18
Speaker 1: just people that you meet on like a you know,
13:21
Speaker 1: like a community page somewhere, so be it, so be it.
13:25
Speaker 1: If it's not someone in person, that's okay. And then
13:29
Speaker 1: another thing where self efficacy comes from is your physiological responses,
13:35
Speaker 1: Like how do you instinctively react to stress, and we
13:40
Speaker 1: can start to change that. Is it panic? Is it
13:45
Speaker 1: pause and adapts? Like what do you when you're stressed?
13:48
Speaker 1: What is your instinctive thing to do? And when that happens,
13:52
Speaker 1: let's say it's panic, then something that I highly recommend
13:56
Speaker 1: and I've got like a hot like all these episodes
13:58
Speaker 1: on anxiety and panic and all of that. But is
14:00
Speaker 1: this concept of like naming entertainment, So before you react,
14:04
Speaker 1: it's the pause. Name what you're going through, Name it
14:07
Speaker 1: out loud, ideally, and it starts to tame that fear,
14:11
Speaker 1: and then you can bring your logic reasoning into it,
14:13
Speaker 1: and then you can start to decide, Okay, what am
14:15
Speaker 1: I actually going to do about it? Moving forward? Okay.
14:18
Speaker 1: The more you do this, the more you intercept when
14:22
Speaker 1: you have a stress response to something, whether it be fear,
14:26
Speaker 1: whether it be social anxiety, whatever that stress response is,
14:29
Speaker 1: the more you can pause and say, I'm not going
14:31
Speaker 1: to react right away. I'm just going to take a breath.
14:33
Speaker 1: I'm going to name what I'm feeling and feeling anxious
14:35
Speaker 1: because this thing happened, and then I'm going to say, okay,
14:38
Speaker 1: how am I going to move forward from here? Now?
14:41
Speaker 1: What a way is that we can also be boosting
14:43
Speaker 1: ourself efficacy. So the first thing is change your physical
14:49
Speaker 1: state before challenges. Okay, So say you are you know,
14:55
Speaker 1: say the challenge here is being in a in a
14:59
Speaker 1: so setting, Say it's doing a class that you really
15:04
Speaker 1: struggle to do at university, or say whatever that challenges
15:08
Speaker 1: that you're about to approach. I want you to change
15:10
Speaker 1: your physical state, okay, because nerves feeling nervous can also
15:15
Speaker 1: be confused for excitement. So I want you to get up,
15:18
Speaker 1: jump up and down, get the heart rate up, change
15:20
Speaker 1: your posture, take some deep breadths and trick your brain
15:24
Speaker 1: into thinking these nerves nerve jitters, which is cortisol is excitement.
15:30
Speaker 1: Cortisol it is I'm ready to I'm ready to take action,
15:33
Speaker 1: I'm ready to perform kind of cortisol. Because cortisol is
15:36
Speaker 1: a stress response, but for good stress as well. So
15:38
Speaker 1: you want to harness that cortisol that normally is firing
15:41
Speaker 1: because I'm stressed, and what are you going to like?
15:45
Speaker 1: How are you going to use that cortisol instead? Because
15:48
Speaker 1: cortisol fires with anxious people, with people that are not anxious.
15:51
Speaker 1: Cortisol fires when you need to perform. So use that
15:54
Speaker 1: moment and think, right, I'm going to actually like this.
15:57
Speaker 1: Cortisol is here, Let's use it for the better. Let's
15:59
Speaker 1: jump and down, Let's get the blood pumping, let's get
16:02
Speaker 1: the adrenaline going, and now I'm going to feel excited
16:06
Speaker 1: instead of hunching over shallow breads feeling anxious. Notice the difference.
16:10
Speaker 1: When we change our physical state, we are priming ourselves
16:13
Speaker 1: to take action, to dive deep, to go all in.
16:17
Speaker 1: The Other thing that I want you to do is
16:18
Speaker 1: look at neutral things, or I should say, look at
16:24
Speaker 1: threats and reframe them as neutral things or even potential opportunities.
16:30
Speaker 1: What is a threat to you? Okay, what is something
16:34
Speaker 1: that you would avoid these avoidance behaviors, whether it's I'm
16:37
Speaker 1: not going to talk to that person, I'm not going
16:39
Speaker 1: to make eye contact with that person, I'm not going
16:41
Speaker 1: to try this thing, And how can you reframe that
16:44
Speaker 1: as something that's not a threat, just neutral or even
16:47
Speaker 1: an opportunity. The more you start to do that, like
16:50
Speaker 1: that person looked at me, or can't talk to them
16:53
Speaker 1: because they're judging me, they obviously don't like me. How
16:56
Speaker 1: do we shift that and turn it into that person
17:01
Speaker 1: was literally just looking around the room and barely barely
17:03
Speaker 1: rested their gaze on me. They probably didn't even look
17:06
Speaker 1: at me. Or it could be an opportunity that person
17:08
Speaker 1: looked at me, maybe they recognized me from something. Maybe
17:11
Speaker 1: I can go and say hello, they clocked me. Maybe
17:13
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity to say hello. Right, So we
17:15
Speaker 1: can always be reframing threats as neutral opportunity neutral or opportunities.
17:20
Speaker 1: The next thing, of course, is to focus on progress
17:24
Speaker 1: and not perfect outcomes. People that have really high self efficacies,
17:28
Speaker 1: they're not perfect, and then the first they're the first
17:32
Speaker 1: to tell you that they are not perfect, because for them,
17:34
Speaker 1: it's about the progress, all right. Then we want to
17:38
Speaker 1: find people or role models that inspire connection and inspire growth,
17:44
Speaker 1: not comparison. So kind of like what I was speaking
17:46
Speaker 1: about before with this social the social modeling, you want
17:52
Speaker 1: to find people. It could be someone online, it could
17:54
Speaker 1: be an account of someone that makes you feel like
17:56
Speaker 1: a comfort creator, that makes you feel really good about yourself,
17:59
Speaker 1: And those are the people that you're gonna gravitate towards.
18:01
Speaker 1: If you can find these people in real life, then
18:03
Speaker 1: that's perfect. We're gonna We're gonna find them in real
18:06
Speaker 1: life now, to wrap up this episode, one thing I
18:09
Speaker 1: really wanted to lean on is people with high high
18:13
Speaker 1: self efficacy have something called logical optimism. Okay, this confidence
18:19
Speaker 1: that they have, it's from being like optimistic, but in
18:22
Speaker 1: a logic way, not the oh my god, everything's amazing,
18:25
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It's it like, you know, when things
18:27
Speaker 1: are going poorly. It's it's not from It's not confidence
18:31
Speaker 1: that comes from blind positivity. It's this ability to be
18:34
Speaker 1: optimistic after weighing the facts. Right, so you can weigh
18:39
Speaker 1: up the facts and say, yeah, that sucked, that didn't
18:41
Speaker 1: go too well, that actually did too well. I'm actually
18:44
Speaker 1: capable here. I'm capable of bouncing back here. I've learned
18:48
Speaker 1: this lesson that can be applied here. Before entering this thing,
18:51
Speaker 1: which the outcome might not have been perfect, but before
18:53
Speaker 1: entering it, I was way less educated than I am
18:55
Speaker 1: now now with all these new things that I've learned
18:58
Speaker 1: from this experience, how can I approach it next time round?
19:01
Speaker 1: That is logical optimism. That is saying I'm taking everything
19:06
Speaker 1: that I've learned from this and I'm now going to
19:07
Speaker 1: apply it in an even better way moving forward. Okay,
19:11
Speaker 1: so it's not about delusion it's looking about it's the
19:15
Speaker 1: legitimate good or the legitimate potential right, allowing yourself to
19:20
Speaker 1: see possibilities which then make you look at how you
19:22
Speaker 1: can solve problems, instead of making problems a part of
19:26
Speaker 1: who you are or a part of your identity, and
19:29
Speaker 1: then shrinking and then avoiding, avoiding connection, avoiding taking action,
19:32
Speaker 1: avoiding risks, avoiding anything that's going to make you vulnerable
19:36
Speaker 1: and feel like you're going to fail or feel like
19:38
Speaker 1: you're going to be rejected. Okay, because avoidance will always
19:42
Speaker 1: keep you stuck, but action will always rewire your brain
19:47
Speaker 1: to believe that you can do harder and harder things. Okay.
19:50
Speaker 1: So the bottom line is that self efficacy is trainable.
19:54
Speaker 1: So every time you prove to your brain that you
19:56
Speaker 1: can handle something, you're literally saying to yourself, I can
19:59
Speaker 1: try myself. I can handle that. And even if I failed,
20:02
Speaker 1: I was able to bring myself back up again. I
20:04
Speaker 1: was able to learn from that failure. I didn't crumble.
20:06
Speaker 1: I'm still here, I didn't die. That's self efficacy. It's
20:10
Speaker 1: I'm capable of either doing it or picking myself up
20:13
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out. And that is real self love.
20:16
Speaker 1: This rewiring to trust yourself is real self love. So
20:22
Speaker 1: to summarize, I know I said to summarize like three
20:23
Speaker 1: minutes ago, but actually to summarize for today, I want
20:26
Speaker 1: you to ask yourself the following, what would I like
20:29
Speaker 1: to be more capable in? How can I show myself
20:32
Speaker 1: this is possible? How do I know it is possible?
20:36
Speaker 1: And how do I begin to try and prove this
20:38
Speaker 1: to myself? Okay, so those four questions, that is what
20:42
Speaker 1: we're asking ourselves today. That is what we're focusing on today.
20:46
Speaker 1: And that is all for today's episode. Guys, thank you
