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 all and welcome to Mental Monday where we talk about one mental training habit that you can implement in your life today and this week. Alright, this is what we're going to do. We're going to talk about things being effortless. We're going to talk about goals and changes and big things in your life being effortless and allowing them to be effortless. So as a high-performing individual, my guess is that you are like me. You think about changing the hardest thing in your life.
The thing that you feel the weakest at, the thing that you feel like the worst at you want to improve. And let me tell you this, this is a great thing. This is a great instinct.
Until, let's not. So let me give you an example. As an athlete, whatever sport you played, whatever sport you coach, you know, it can be great to want to improve. Like I was a basketball player, it can be great to want to improve my left hand, for example.
You want to get your left hand up to the point where it's not a liability if you have to go left. But the best players in the world in any sport get really, really good at a couple of things. Again, their weaknesses are not liabilities. Definitely areas we should be working on. But they also get really, really good at things they're already good at. And so in your life, I was talking about this with my mindset coaching students lately. There's always this balance as an entrepreneur or as a human that we want to do, get better at the things we're not that great at, as I said. So for my, for my mindset coaching students, I say, okay, when you talk about content and creating and being an expert in the world, what is the delivery method that is effortless for you? So for me, it is writing and this podcast, I'm really good at writing and I'm really good at writing. at being able to take information and communicate it in a way that's I think effective. Probably I'm not as great on video, I'm working on it, or at least it's not a place that I'm super comfortable. Now I need to work on that for sure and I'm in a place in my business where I have the bandwidth to be able to do that. But what is also true for me and my students and for you is that doubling down on the things that feel effortless for us is also a really good use of our time.
That doesn't mean we don't work on our weaknesses, that doesn't mean we don't do things that are uncomfortable, but we also think about not always making things hard. So one question for you is you want to make some changes in life. What is already working? What is already working? What feels effortless to you already? Maybe it's effortless for you to go for a walk every day because you have a dog. Maybe you could attach something to that, you could do that for longer, you could do that with weights on, right, if you want to get in better shape. Whatever is effortless right now, how can you add to it?
How can you add to it? Instead of always thinking about what is the hardest thing that I can take on, think about what is the easiest and add to it. Again, doesn't mean we put our head in the sand and don't work on our weaknesses. It means we really focus on what's already working and build off that. Alright guys, hope this was helpful for you.

We would love to hear how Mental Mondays and the podcast in general is helping you and as always, if you could share it with a friend that you think would enjoy this, we'd sure appreciate it.

Bye for now. Hey guys, if you've ever thought, had just even an inkling of a thought about becoming a mental performance coach, it's likely that you also had some questions about that like, where would I get clients? What would I teach them?
