"Greatness is defined by how much you want to put into what you do." Lebron James You can never outperform your self-image, or your view of yourself. Be careful what you say to yourself about yourself because we are always listening. To level of your self-image, consider the beliefs you want to hold about yourself to reach all of your goals and dreams. Write out those statements and say them in the morning to be intentional about building your self-image. This Week's Power Phrase: "I will be careful what I say to myself because I am always listening and intentionally build my own self-image."

Your goals and dreams should be just a little scary – meaning a little outside your comfort zone because when you dream big, you grow into who you can become. Most people dream too small or lose the ability to dream because of limiting beliefs or listening to other people's disbelief. The reason we need goals and dreams are less about checking off a box, but instead about who you can become. Making dreaming for a living part of your daily mindset practice. This Week's Power Phrase: "I dream big to help me reach my best and my potential. I have everything inside me to make my dreams happen."

"If you gave your inner genius as much credit as your inner critic, you would be light years ahead of where you are now." Alan Cohen Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice that can sounds scared, angry, or judgmental. Remember your inner critic tends to lie to you. You want to name your inner critic to tame it. We all have an inner critic inside of us, and a key is to notice your inner critic. We want to respond to our inner critic with compassion and grace, and choose a more empowering and truthful statement to tell ourselves instead. This Week's Power Phrase: "I name my inner critic to tame it. I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic."

Confidence is the trust in yourself and your abilities, and is the core of reaching your potential. To build your confidence, it is important you are on your own side, not on your own case. On your case means you are overly critical, negative and never satisfied. On your side, means you are rationale, realistic, and encourage yourself. To be on your own side more, focus on learning over beating yourself up. Quote of the Week: "It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures." Oprah This Week's Power Phrase: "I am on my own side and keep learning and growing."

A second key is to be compassion with yourself which helps you stay motivated and confident. Show yourself the same kindness as you would a friend. This Week's Power Phrase: "I embrace failure and see it as a necessary part of my success and reaching my potential."
