ccs auto generated: why it's important to celebrate yourself.
This is one of my favorite
things to talk about, because so
one of the things I say a lot
in my coaching programs is what
gets celebrated, gets repeated.
I'm going to say that again. What
gets celebrated gets repeated.
So think back to when you were a
child or if you have Children,
think about them. So when they do
something right or well like,
what do we do? We celebrate them.
That behavior becomes modeled
and consequently programmed within
us. If we're doing something
good, we get celebrated and rewarded.
And so consequently we
repeat that behavior as humans.
We have something called the
negativity buyers. I talk about
this a lot, but what it means
is we are genetically predisposed
to focus on the negative.
So if you think back to when we
first evolved, everything was
a danger. Everything was a threat.
So it is in our genetic interest
to focus on things that are threats
to focus on things that are
dangerous. And this is so much the
case that research has shown
that the average human brain scans
for threat 300 times a minute.
We're always doing it would be
in danger. Is that danger?
And I say from my safe, Is it okay?
Potential areas that we can
fail or get all look stupid or get
laughed at This is how we're
built. It's a genetic baseline.
So we have to We simply have
to get into the habit of self
celebration. And if not,
we're more likely to hold on to
integrate store and remember
the negative events more than
the positive. So I'll give you
an example of this one that I'm
sure you know. Okay, so you go
to a meeting or a job interview,
whatever is and it goes,
well, you're kind of like on it.
You're like communicating well,
you feel like you've got a good
for a poor. And then at the end,
the client, the interviewee, Whoever
is says to you, thank you
so much for that. There was just
this one little thing that I
didn't quite like. So we leave
that interview that otherwise
has been brilliant. And now that
whole thing was a disaster.
The whole thing was a write off because
of the one small negative
thing. Research has also shown
we are so much more likely to
remember the critical or the negative
feedback we get than the
positive. What this means is so many
of us are just walking around
the world, absolutely nailing
it, and we can't even see it.
So it is our job as humans, I believe.
In fact, I know to make
sure that our attention goes to
those things we want to stick,
Repeat, do again. And one of the
most effective ways to do that
is to take a moment to acknowledge
ourselves. Now. It doesn't
have to be huge. It can just be
at the end of the day, if you've
had a few difficult meetings.
If you've managed to take care
of the kids well, if you managed
to nail that conference call
like whatever is take a moment
to just be like, Hey, good job,
a small pat on the back. You can
maybe just play your favorite
song. You can maybe just take a moment
to just acknowledge yourself.
It can be anything but we have to
do it because your brain won't
do it naturally. So take the time
and maybe develop a practice
of at the end of every single day
right out the things that you
have done well and acknowledge
yourself for it developed that
habit. And slowly, over time that
habit will start to seep in
and become real deep, meaningful,
impactful confidence,
Good luck.
