Welcome to the Mindset Coach Academy podcast. I'm Lindsey Wilson and I am a high-performance mindset coach, a mom, a former professional athlete and an entrepreneur. I help coaches and high performers optimize their mindset to improve their coaching, their performance and those of their athletes and their lives. Here you'll learn all about mindset, how to live it, how to teach it and how to sell it.
Hi guys and welcome back to the Mindset Coach Academy podcast. My name is Lindsey Wilson and it is Mental Monday. So Mental Monday, you guys know something really simple that you can implement right away.
And here's my question for you. When you plan your day or you plan your week, are you planning in accordance to what you say you want to prioritize in your life? Is your schedule and what you plan first matching up with your priorities? So let's say that one of your priorities is, I don't know, exercise or getting in shape or eating better. And you do your, you know, weekly schedule or you do your daily schedule and at the very end, you try to find time to get a workout in or you try to find time to plan out meals or go to the grocery store and get some vegetables. If that's the case, it's going to be so much harder, one, for you to actually accomplish the thing that you want, but also your brain is getting the message that that goal is actually not that important. So again, if this is just sort of like a little audit, when you say something is important, when you say I'm important, my time is important, my relationships are important, my health is important, my hobbies are important. If you say that, is that matching up with what takes priority and what gets planned first in your schedule and your day and your week?
And if not, why? So again, this is where we're just consciously auditing, consciously paying attention, getting curious about what's the disconnect. Do I feel guilty for taking time for myself? If so, then that belief is going to impact our actions, right? We're clearly not believing that we can have that time or we deserve that time. And so it's getting pushed down the priority list.
And so really taking that and bring it to the light of day and saying, okay, I said this was a priority. I'm not acting on it. Why? And just get curious. Why am I not? And if I had looked at that and I understand why, what do I want to change?
Do I want to make this more of a priority or maybe it's not as important as I said it was? Just doing that exercise, then make sure that we have alignment. Because if we just go week to week to week and we can throw our hands up and say, I just haven't had time to exercise, well no, it's because you haven't put it in your plan in the beginning because you're not planning according to your priorities. And again, you can prioritize anything you want. You can prioritize sitting on the couch and eating ice cream.
That's fine. Just do it from a conscious place. And then you have alignment.
And here's what happens when you have alignment. You have confidence. You have confidence in your decisions. You have confidence in the things you say you're going to do. You have confidence in your time management. You have confidence in getting the life and the results that you say that you want.
That feels good. That is giving your brain the message that you do what you say you're going to do. That you're the one that's in control. That life isn't happening to you. That you're the CEO. All of those things are really good regardless of whether you change up your priorities or change up your schedule or not. Simply being aware of it and saying, is this a priority?
If so, let's plan accordingly. That alone is coming from a place of power and that will help you in your mindset and really any other goals that you have. Because you can, again, you can prioritize whatever you want. Just doing it in an authentic and intentional way.
So get curious. Again, thinking about your priorities, are you planning for them? And if not, why?
And if you've changed your beliefs and your beliefs are not matching up with that, you want to take some action to change that. If so, get to work. All right, guys. That's my thoughts on Mental Monday. I hope that was helpful. I'll see you again next week on Mental Monday. Bye for now.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, here's what I want you to know. If you are a coach or a parent that wants to implement mental training with your team or your athletes, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. It can be easy to be like, oh, we need to bring in a mental training coach or I need to get certified or we need this whole program. And what I will tell you is yes, that's great if you have the time, the energy, the money to do that.
And if you don't, that's okay. Start with one thing. Now, what is that one thing you might ask? I'm going to tell you exactly what our start and it is with a pre-practice mental training routine. The good news is we teach you exactly how to do that with our most popular tool of all time called the Braver Method. Now, I hear from coaches all the time that have implemented this, many of them for years. And they have seen such results in their practices, having their athletes more focused, more resilient, more ready to improve with every single practice. Because you guys know, it's like, okay, you start practice, maybe you have like a good physical warmup and like maybe the athletes are there mentally, but like maybe they're not. And we expect that at some point they will, but how much time is wasted between practice starting and when it like finally clicks that they're ready to practice.
And sometimes that never happens, right? But I hear that a lot from coaches that like the first little bit of practice mentally is just kind of a waste. It takes a lot of time and energy to get the athletes ready. And what I will say is with the Braver, it is designed to help them focus from the jump. So if you're wondering where to start with mental training, I've been doing this for 18 years and I will tell you unequivocally, start with the Braver. And what it is is a pre-practice routine that includes breath work, visualization, affirmations, a reset word. It includes so many of the tools that we teach in one simple, simple, simple, simple five-minute exercise. Now it does take a little time to set up because I'll have you do a workshop with them where they decide their affirmation. But once you do that, you're going to watch all the stuff yourself, then you're going to do the workshop with your team, then you have this five-minute routine that is you can use every single day for every practice, for every game, and your athletes know how to use it.
Many of them will use it for like tests and other things in life once they learn how to do it. So it is $39. It's on our website.
I'll put the link in the show notes as well. If you go to positiveperformancetraining.com and click on courses, you will see the Braver. It is by far our most popular course of all time and thousands of athletes across the country are using it.
It is simple, simple, simple to implement. So if you're looking for something to do, do not wait until next season. Do not wait until you have all the money and all the time to do the whole meal deal of mental performance training.
That would be great and maybe you'll work up to that. But right now, what can you do today and this week? It's simple.
Get the Braver. We also have a money back guarantee, so if that's on your mind, just let that be. We got you. It works. You're going to love it. Go to positiveperformancetraining.com. Go to courses, get the Braver, get your hands on it and start implementing it today.
