Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Optimize plus one. In our last plus one, we had fun cultivating a strong self image via that's Like Me imprints. Quick recap. All the elite performers agree 90% of our performance is mental. 90%. Yet very few of us dedicate an appropriate amount of our time to optimizing our mental game. One key way to do that is to optimize our self image. As Lanny says, our self image is what makes you act like you. A poor self image drives poor performance, therefore we need to dial it in. One key way to do that is to affirm that's like me. When you're on. That's like me. To do what I say I'm going to do. That's like me. To have fun shutting down the electronics early so I can get a great night of sleep. That's like me. To get up and move around every 15 minutes so I'm not active and sedentary. That's like me. That's like me. That's like me all day, every day. Another thing to practice that's not like me. You do something lame. Oops. Play the needs work loop in your head and then maybe sprinkle a warm neutral that's not like me. Then move on right before you're going to do something lame, which is always the best time to notice. Say that's not like me. That might have been like the old self image driven me, but it's not like the new me. Then what do you say to yourself when you step in between the stimulus and your old habitual suboptimal response and choose the optimal thing to do in that micro moment that determines your destiny. Yep, that's like you. That's like me.
