Dr. Aziz uses a short, conversational anecdote with his son Zaim to illustrate the negative inner voice he calls the "Poopy Coach." He contrasts listening to that voice (which discourages trying) with behaving as a supportive internal coach, and promotes his free ebook "Five Steps to Unleash Your Inner Confidence" available at drazeez.com.
What kind of coach are you to yourself? We're playing with this little Nerf here, me and my boy Zaim. Say hi, Zaim. No, he does not. Oh, he does. We are. We're tossing it back and forth. We're pretty new. We just got this thing. Just started playing with it not that long ago. And we're learning how to throw. What's that? He can't even catch it. We're learning how to throw and catch and we've been tossing and he can't catch it. And. And he says sometimes out loud, man, I'm never going to be able to catch this football. And I say, that's this voice in our head. And you know, what do we call that voice? It tells us we can't. We're never going to get it. It's not possible. What do we call that voice? Want to say it louder? No, I'll say it. Poopy Coach. We call him Poopy Coach. And do we listen to Poopy Coach? Well, if we do, then he tells us we're never ever, ever going to learn how to catch a football. We're never ever, ever going to succeed. We're never going to get good at interviews. We're never going to be better at talking to people. We're never going to be in a relationship. We're never going to be the person that we want to be. Now the funny thing is, right after he said that, after Poopie Coach said, I'll never catch it on the very next throw, what happened? I catch it. You caught it. So is it possible that your Poopie coach is wrong a lot of the time? And the question is not whether that Poopie Coach talks because it talks to all of us. The question is, do you listen? How much attention do you give to it? How much do you believe it as if it is fact? And when you do, if you listen to it and you follow what it says, then you never will catch the ball because you'll never go for it. You'll never try. And if you do try, it's going to be a half hearted attempt and you're going to fail. And Poopie Coach is going to say, I told you so. So question I have for you is, are you listening to Poopie Coach? And do you have a good coach in there? And if you don't know how to do this, download my ebook right now. It's called Five Steps to Unleash youh Inner Confidence. You can get it for free.
