Cindy Esliger talks about ‘should have’, ‘could have’, and ‘would have’ phrases to highlight how they can lead to negative self-talk, self-blame, and feelings of regret. She guides us through how they impact our mindset and how to turn them around into possibilities instead of statements of disappointment.  ‘Should have’ and ‘could have’ root us in regret over past actions. Focusing solely on what we didn’t do or could have done better can impact our confidence going forward. It leads us to procrastination and doubt in our abilities. ‘Would have’, on the other hand, keeps us open to possibility which helps us take responsibility for past choices and lets us inform future decisions. Our words have power over our mindset. Eliminating negative speech from our vocabulary can be difficult, so Cindy offers five tips for getting rid of ‘should have’ and ‘could have’ and what to replace them with. The replacement wording aims to reframe mistakes and emphasize strengths. She explains how to turn those negative statements into empowered ones instead. And she shares three important takeaways regarding the impact of negative phrases on our mindset, to help us realize how important our self-talk really is. This episode challenges us to examine our innate speech and focus on what we say.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to The Power of the MindsetAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
