'Normal' Self-Talk can be transformed into Fantastic Self-Talk
Change: Use instead:
| I can't believe that guy could be so bad. | Nobody's perfect and life's not fair, but I still have my job to do. |
| I'm frustrated. | This is a good challenge for me. |
| I stink! | I'm learning! |
| There's no way. | Wow, what a story this will be if we can make it happen. |
| This situation is horrible. | I've seen worse. |
| We've gotta score. | This is a great opportunity to score. |
| This drill is boring. | I can practice the skill of focus by doing it exactly right every time. |
