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 in 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 today is Mental Monday. All right, I have been talking to many students about the MCA certification and I've talked about this principle before, but I think it's one worth revisiting not for the certification per se, but just really for anything that we want in our life. But here's the caveat and I think the part that's really needs to be brought out to the light of day. We are social creatures, right? We want to keep in the pack to keep safe. We don't want to stick out. We want to be approved by the people around us and how this manifests is we subconsciously hold ourselves back or we subconsciously sort of look around and want permission for doing things that we really want to do. And the challenge with this sometimes is we don't even let ourselves dream. It's not like we sit there and we're like, I want to go do this thing.
Let me go get permission from the people in my life. Not often. Sometimes we do, but sometimes it's just a subconscious thing where we say, I want to go, maybe I don't want to do that thing because I don't think the other people around me would approve. And so we sort of look for approval without making it a conscious thing. And I think it's actually even more powerful to step out and have those conversations, like let's say with your spouse or something about is this a good idea for us, right? I think that conversation is fine to have. What I see a lot, especially with women, is people asking for permission to go for their goals. And again, I think we're asking that on a deep subconscious level sometimes, and we're not even allowing ourselves to dream for the things, but sometimes we do know the thing that we want and we've allowed ourselves to want it, but we are still looking for approval from people worried we're not going to get approval from people and literally asking for permission.
Now, I'm not a marriage counselor, so I'm not going to tell you not to talk to your spouse about a big decision. That's not what I mean. There's financial considerations as well. But I do believe that just being aware of how your brain is working, because I think what happens a lot is we internalize that fear, and then we wait for someone else to give us the validation. Whereas if we can give ourselves permission, again, whether you take action or not, we're giving ourselves permission to go for our goals. We're giving ourselves validation that it's okay to want things. We're doing that for ourselves, and then we're having the conversation. We're not expecting someone else to give us permission and give us validation and give us confidence to go for it. So it's not the conversation itself.
It's how we're showing up and the work that we're doing ahead of time. So I wanted to bring this up again because I just see it happen so often. I'm not above it either. We're looking for approval.
We're looking for permission. I would just encourage you to at least be aware. It's a very natural part of how our brain works, but it can be also quite limiting. So if you're not doing the work ahead of time, you're not giving yourself permission, no one else is going to give it to you. They're not.
They're not. So giving yourself permission to go for your goals, I think is such a muscle that we all need to exercise. So that's my Mental Monday. Hope you loved it. Come on over to Instagram. Let me know about it. Leave a review if you haven't already.
Please, please, please. Reviews are so appreciated. Thank you all so much. We'll see you again next week for Mental Monday. Bye for now.
All right, guys, I got something super exciting for you. If you have ever wanted to be a mental performance coach, if you've ever thought yourself, God, could I do that? Could I get paid to do that? Maybe you had a little dream of doing it, but it's likely you just don't know where to start or you've started and not had much luck. I'm going to walk you through exactly how to get your first client, right? Like the strategy behind it, like where you're going to get it.
And also the mindset and all the obstacles that come up because I see so many of you on the sideline and I know you want to get into the game and you're paralyzed with what to do. So I'm going to walk you through it. It's going to be fast. It's going to be about 30 minutes.
It's on October 9th. You can go to our website to register. And at the end of that workshop where I'm going to teach you how to do this and how to get your first paid client, I'm also going to have a panel of our recently certified students that have made 2K and we're going to peek behind the curtain and they're going to show you how they've done it. So mark your calendars October night. Go to positivereformantstraining.com forward slash training to grab your seat.
