105: How To Speak Words of Commitment

"Do or do not. There is no try."-Yoda

I actually hate when adults tell me they'll "try" to do something. I feel like we "try" food and "try" fashion.

I'm a courage coach, which means I specialize in helping my clients take action, courageous & consistent action. I used to be all about confidence, but that's really about your feelings and your thoughts about yourself. ACTION, however, is what leads to transformation and increase.

In this session, you'll learn how to swap out weak phrases that lack power and conviction for powerful words of commitment.

How to Speak Words of Commitment

1.) Recognize the phrases and words that you say which give you an "out". Words like "try", "should", "might". The minute you use them you are prepping yourself and others for your excuses later.

2.) Use words like: "I will", "I intend to", "I must", "I have to", "I'll figure it out", "I'll get support". Start speaking your intentions, not your worries! Words of commitment require confidence, discipline, and follow-through.

3.) Set boundaries, say "no", be honest with yourself 1st, and get your time management together. This supports the language of commitment.

Your assignment for the week:

• Identify one weak word you use the most and make the commitment to swap it out.
• Share the weak word and what you'll swap it out within the community.
• Plan to attend (watch the replay) the Lunch n Learn on How to Commit to Your Purpose.
