“When your brain says that you’re done, you’re only 40 percent done.” —David Goggins, Navy SEAL and ultramarathoner
Remember the following this week: when I feel like giving in or giving up, I’ll remember the 40 percent rule and how much more I have to give—perhaps up to 60 percent more! When I feel emotional or physical discomfort this week, I’ll remember that discomfort is an ally, not an enemy. To embrace my discomfort, I will write out a discomfort plan so I am ready and can stay gritty.
Power Phrase this Week: “I have a reserve tank that hasn’t even been tapped. I work hard, stay the course, and remain gritty.”
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than the fear.” Franklin D. Roosevelt
High performers choose courage instead of comfort. To choose courage over comfort, consider what you can do TODAY that is uncomfortable. Courage is a muscle – the more you use it, the better you get at it. Being uncomfortable each day is the fastest way to make your vision for your life a reality and it’s the only way to reach the people you are intended to serve. Discomfort is the price you pay to experience success, step into your destiny and live a meaningful life. What will you do today to be uncomfortable?
This Week's Power Phrase: “I choose courage over comfort. I flex my courage muscle and go for it.”
“Experience tells you what to do. Confidence allows you to do it.” —Stan Smith
Confidence is belief and trust in your ability. It is your certainty that you will be successful. Having skills and talent is not enough; we have to believe in our skills in order to use them to the best of our ability. In our last episode, we talked about 3 ways to build confidence: 1. Make a Decision, 2. Remind Yourself of Your Accomplishments, and 3: Put on Your Confidence Armor. We are talking about 4 more ways to build confidence today.
Power Phrase this Week: “I choose confidence. I choose to nurture my confidence to be my best for myself and my team.”
“You have to believe you’re good enough to excel at the highest level if you ever expect to get there.” —Pat Summit
In this episode, Dr. Cindra talks about research-backed ways to build confidence. Confidence is a choice you make daily. Your belief and trust in your ability is your choice. Intentionally decide today to take control of your confidence. Believe and trust that you can!
Power Phrase this Week: “I choose confidence. I choose to believe and trust in my ability.”

Thinking about your big vision to give you energy and motivation. But day to day we also need to stay focused on the process because it allows us to be in the present moment. It’s important to stay focused on the daily process and the present moment, as it decreases stress, pressure, and anxiety. Plus, when you stay focused on the process, you are more likely to persist, stay passionate about your work, and have a higher sense of satisfaction. You’ll also think less about failure and be more likely to try new things.

A stretch goal helps you move beyond your current capabilities and performance.

High performers know who they are. They grow in their awareness of themselves and one way to do that is to identify your core values in a conscious way. Meaning, you decide what values, or core beliefs, you want guiding you in this phase of life. Then, you can use these values to guide your behavior and actions.
Power Phrase this Week: “I know myself and use my values to guide my actions each day.”
Quote of the Week: Elvis Presley said, “Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave them all over everything you do.”
