COURSE OF THE DAY, DO YOU FIND
YOURSELF TALKING TO YOURSELF?
>> SOMETIMES.
>> SOMETIMES. >> WHATEVER YOU ARE SAYING TO
YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY CREATES A
PICTURE.
PICTURE.
PICTURE. AND THAT PICTURE AFFECTS HOW
YOU FEEL.
YOU FEEL.
YOU FEEL. AND, HOW YOU FEEL HAS A LOT TO
DO WITH HOW WELL YOU PLAY.
ADVERTISING IS BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS BECAUSE IT WORKS.
INSIDE, YOU ADVERTISE TO
JAMISON ALL THE TIME.
OKAY?
OKAY?
OKAY? AND
OKAY? AND YOUR ADVERTISING IS TEN
TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN A
TELEVISION COMMERCIAL'S
TELEVISION COMMERCIAL'S ADVERTISING.
ADVERTISING. YOU ARE REALLY SELLING
YOURSELF ON WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. AND YOU CAN ONLY THINK ABOUT
ONE THING.
ONE THING. WHAT ARE YOU NOT GOING TO BE
THINKING ABOUT?
THINKING ABOUT? >> ANYTHING ELSE.
>> ANYTHING ELSE, THE CROWD,
MY ANXIETY.
MY ANXIETY. ALL THOSE THINGS.
SO, BROADLY SPEAKING, JUST I
WANT YOU TOE START LISTENING
TO THAT INNER VOICE.
AND RECOGNIZING WHO CONTROLS
THAT INNER VOICE.
WHO DOES FOR YOU?
>> YOU.
>> YOU.
>> YOU. AND IT NEED TO BE POWERFUL.
IT NEEDS TO BE TARGETED.
>> DO YOU THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT TO USE THE SAME MIND
SPACE IN OTHER THINGS?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT A NAVY SEAL
IS?
IS?
IS? >>
IS? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> WHEN THEY ARE FACING
ADVERSITY.
ADVERSITY. INSTEAD OF FEELING THREATENED
LIKE OH MY GOD, WE COULD LOSE,
THEY FEEL CHALLENGED.
LIKE THIS IS CHALLENGE.
I'M CHALLENGED AS OPPOSED TO
BEING THREATENED.
BEING THREATENED. WHEN YOU ARE CHALLENGED YOU
ARE LIKE OKAY, I WILL FIND A
WAY TO RISE UP.
SO I THINK WE CAN DO THAT IN
ALL PARTS OF OUR LIFE.
>> DID YOU USE THIS MIND STATE
THING WHEN YOU WERE DOING
SOCCER AND BASKETBALL IN HIGH
SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND ALL
THAT?
THAT?
THAT? >>
THAT? >> MY DAD WAS A BIG BELIEVER
IN REALLY LIMITING NEGATIVITY.
SO, I WAS NEVER FORCED TO BE
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE. WEREN'T ALLOWED TO WATCH A LOT
OF NEWS, WEREN'T ALLOWED TO
LISTEN TO COUNTRY MUSIC AND
THEN EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I GO
TO BED, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY
THESE STATEMENTS.
THESE STATEMENTS. AND, THEY WERE REALLY NEUTRAL
STATEMENTS.
STATEMENTS. I TAKE SETBACKS AS TEMPORARY.
I BOUNCE BACK QUICKLY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE 25 YEARS
OLD TO THINK LIKE A CHAMPION.
YOU CAN DO IT AT 12 YEARS OLD.
SO, TO SUMMARIZE, HOW MANY
THINGS CAN WE THINK ABOUT?
>> ONE.
>> ONE.
>> ONE. >> IT IS ON YOU TO DO A GOOD
JOB PROGRAMMING YOURSELF.
WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
>> YOU HAVE TO WORK ON MAKING
YOURSELF BETTER BY TALKING TO
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF. VERSUS LISTENING TO WHAT OTHER
PEOPLE SAY.
PEOPLE SAY. >> IF YOU WERE TO BE AROUND
RUSSELL AND THE MUSIC HE
LISTENS TO, HE ONLY LETS
THINGS INTO HIS STREAM OF
CONSCIOUSNESS, HIS MIND STATE
THAT ARE GOING TO HELP HIM BE
THE BEST HE CAN BE.
YOU ASK GREAT QUESTIONS.
I'M EXCITED FOR YOU.
I THINK THE BEST IS AHEAD FOR
US.
US.
US. GO
US. GO ISLANDERS?
GO ISLANDERS? >> GO ISLANDERS.
>> WHAT FUN.
SO, THE TAKE AWAY IS TALK TO
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF. IT REALLY MATTERS WHEN YOU CAN
ONLY THINK ABOUT ONE THING AT
A TIME.
A TIME.
A TIME. PUT GOOD THINGS INTO YOUR HEAD
AND IF YOU ARE FACED WITH A
CHALLENGE, REMEMBER, IT'S A
CHALLENGE, NOT A THREAT.
RISE TO THE OCCASION.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE
ABOUT THIS, DON'T FORCE THE
POSITIVITY.
POSITIVITY. SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE IN A
DRAMATIC SITUATION TRYING TO
FORCE YOURSELF TO BE POSITIVE.
IT CAN TAKE A LOT OF ENERGY.
BUT TRY JUST LIMITING THE
NEGATIVITY.
NEGATIVITY. THAT WILL PUT YOU IN THE
POSITIVE SPACE.
POSITIVE SPACE. THAT WAS A BIG ONE FOR ME.
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >>
RIGHT? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> BECAUSE SOMETIMES, IT IS
REALLY DIFFICULT TO GO INTO
THE POSITIVE SPACE IF YOU HAVE
A TRAGIC SITUATION.
>> AND PEOPLE GET MAD.
LIKE YOU ARE ALWAYS SO
POSITIVE ALL THE TIME.
NO, I JUST TRY TO LIMIT THE
NEGATIVE BELIEFS.
NEGATIVE BELIEFS. SOMETIMES IT JUST COMES OUT
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE. >> I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE HEARD
THAT BEFORE.
THAT BEFORE. YOU GOT REAL PERSONAL REAL
QUICK.
QUICK.
QUICK. >>
QUICK. >> I'M ALWAYS LIKE HEY, YOU
WILL DO GREAT.
JORDAN STOP, YOU ARE JUST SO
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE. I'M WITH YOU.
YOU CAN DO IT.
>> AND THEN, YOU SHOWED ME THE
FUN SIZE,.
FUN SIZE,. [ LAUGHTER ]
