Welcome to the second part of our BFS series, where confidence is not just a feeling but a choice (check out the first article here). Dive into the insights from UFC champion George St. Pierre (GSP) on how carrying yourself with power can reshape your attitude. Let's explore!
Confidence: A Choice and a Journey
In an interview with George St. Pierre, former UFC Champion you can find in the first lesson on Confidence, he says, “Confidence is a choice. Act like a champion to become a champion. Fake it until you make it.” GSP’s wisdom sheds light on a remarkable truth - confidence is an action, not a mental state. Act with the swagger of a champion, ever before you become one. Do the things that champions do. Work like a champion to become a champion. This fundamental shift in attitude impacts your performance and mindset.
Your Mind Influences Your Body
GSP highlights the intriguing mind-body connection. The mind doesn’t just influence the body; the body can shape the mind. By adopting the demeanor of confidence - the posture, the actions - you pave the way for a mental transformation. Think of greats like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Roger Federer, Bill Walton, or Derek Jeter, who acted like champions before becoming champions.
A Takeaway for Champions
In the realm of sports and beyond, the power of confidence stands unwavering. GSP’s insights underscore that confidence is a journey crafted through actions, not just a mental state. Embrace the mindset of a champion, and watch how it transcends your performance.
In this journey of breakthroughs and body language mastery, remember that confidence is not confined to feelings; it’s a conscious choice and a powerful action. So, embrace these teachings and step into a realm of unwavering confidence.
