Listen "107 - ENCORE Episode 14: Update Yourself"
Episode Synopsis
In This Episode:
Annaliese and Alan dig into how the way you see yourself shapes the way you think, speak, and act. When you’re trying to grow, your inner picture matters. Annaliese shares a simple mindset tool called “Update Yourself,” a practice that helps you picture yourself as more capable, grounded, and empowered so real change feels possible—not overwhelming.
You’ll Hear About:
How your brain can learn a new, more confident picture of who you are and what you can do. You’re not locked into old patterns—you truly can do new things.
Why owning your choices matters. Are you supporting your growth or slipping back into old standards like perfectionism or settling? Choose a standard that actually helps you move forward.
How your body responds differently to Updated Stories versus Outdated Stories. When you celebrate who you’re becoming, you feel your growth, and that creates natural motivation fuel for more of it, inside and out.
How Updating Yourself strengthens your relationship with you. It’s a bridge from doubt to desire. Simple “updated” thoughts—like “I’m the person who gets to make change happen”—open doors that old thoughts keep shut.
How to stop assuming the worst about uncertain outcomes and start expecting what you hope to find.

Tell Yourself UPDATED Stories, Not Outdated Ones:
Ask yourself: How am I different today than I have been before? What do I care about now that I didn’t before?
Notice what you’re improving on or what matters to you now. Tell yourself about the updated person you’re becoming—statements like “I’m more organized now” or “I know how to organize better.”
Remember the real goal is becoming your true self, not chasing a perfect outcome. What do you want instead of what you’ve been getting? What changes would support that?
Focus on the change you want to make. Choose a thought about yourself that helps you feel capable, satisfied, and ready to take that step.
