It was a good one! All about confidence and the power of self talk.
I thought of you, Sage, with your internal dialogue of "I'm not interesting enough"...an utter lie you keep telling yourself!!!...of course YOU know what to do about it...challenge that thought!
The most amazing segment was with a woman who is a classically trained pianist. She had a bad recital at age 8 (forgot her place, had to restart twice) and ever since then will not play for others.
I mean not even her immediate family! (She looked to be in her 30's to me).
Dr.Phil had her work through her "worst case scenario"...screwing up in front of an audience, panic attack, passing out (clunk! slip. whoosh onto the floor). Waking to find pity or even ridicule from the audience.
Then what? Everyone goes home, it all blows over!
I would have asked her...what is the ACTUAL likelihood that this worst case would come to pass? How is this thinking working FOR her?
Dr. Phil told her (as a PERSONAL opinion) that she didn't have the right to withhold her talent, that it was, in effect selfish to do so out of fear of what others MIGHT think!
Don't you know he dragged out a grand piano and she played a number right then and there! She even made a couple of mistakes (which I think is a good thing) but pressed through to a standing ovation from the audience!!!
People, NEVER underestimate the power of what you say to yourself, and never forget that YOU have the power to change it for the better.
That sounds realllly good!!! My vino is still in transport and Pam, well, poor pam.....wait a minute!!! You say you have vino to spare in your cellar...No more vino pity for you!
