One of my coaches used to have this thing he called "The 5 Minute Rule". I come back to this rule anytime I don't want to do something. For example, when I'm feeling sluggish and don't want to work out, when I'm uninspired and don't want to work, or when I feel overwhelmed about cleaning my house. And 9 times out of 10, it snaps me out of my slump and gets me moving. Tune in to today's Mental Monday to learn all about "The 5 Minute Rule"--------------------------LIVE WEBINAR: If you have ever wanted to make money as a Mental Performance Coach, join me for a live webinar where I'll walk you through exactly how to get your first client. I'll also be bringing on a panel of PPT Certified Mindset Coaches who will talk to you about how they made their first 2k. Join us 10/9 at 11 AM PST!

Today I am diving into something called The Motivation Triad.
The motivation triad basically says that your brain wonât waste energy on something that it doesnât believe is going to work out.
Now, this manifested in my own life recently in a silly way, where I was struggling to figure out a new app and gave up, not realizing the solution was right in front of me. And I see it manifesting in the lives of my students as they build their businesses. Honestly, you can see the effects of The Motivation Triad everywhere and in your own life, once you understand what it is.
I highly recommend you listen to the full podcast, and remember this key takeaway: Before you decide to give up on something, whether itâs using a new app, or building a business, or working on any new skill, remind yourself to keep looking for a solution, even if one isnât obvious right away.
Because the second you stop looking for a solution, thatâs the moment you stop being curious. And when you stop being curious, itâs over. your creativity will shut down and youâll get stuck in your own blindspots.

What makes you feel STRONG?What makes you feel powerful, like you can tackle anything, like you can take on the world? Personally, for me, it's exercise. Specifically, it's pushing myself by lifting heavy weights. It not only makes me feel strong, it makes me feel sane. Today on the podcast I'm challenging you to think about the thing that makes you feel strong and to make time to do it in your life more often. Maybe for you it's exercise, or maybe, it's a deep conversation with your partner, eating healthy, intentional alone time, learning a new skill, doing something that scares you, or taking time for self-care. For more on this, check out today's Mental Monday on the pod! _________________________Want a guided visualization you can use anywhere from your phone? Our Tap Into Your True Power Guided Visualization will help you let go of self-limiting narratives and step into your purpose. Make this visualization part of your daily mindset practice.

When people ask me "What's the easiest way to get started with Mental Training?" The mistake ritual is one of the first tools I recommend. The Mistake Ritual is a lifeline for competitive athletes (and coaches). It's a way to center yourself in the middle of chaos - after a mistake, when the ref makes a bad call, when you're distracted by the weather or someone in the stands, etc. It's a very simple tool that can completely transform your mindset and your confidence in competition.In today's Mental Monday, I'm sharing a story about a time I used the Mistake Ritual (and it made a massive difference). I end the episode with a full breakdown about how this tool works, and why it is massively important (and how you can implement it)-------------------------Mistake Ritual Magic Workshop: This course is a 30 minute online video workshop that will prepare you with everything you need to teach your athletes how to bounce back from mistakes in competition: www.positiveperformancetraining.com/mistake-ritual

My interview earlier this year with Positive Psychologist, Chris DeSantis was such a goldmine that I immediately asked him to come present to our Insider Mastermind to teach them about positive psychology.
In our first episode together, Chris introduced positive psychology, but we really just scratched the surface. Iâm thrilled to say that this episode goes so much deeper and leaves you with so many actionable ways to better help your athletes. In this episode, Chris dives deep into his positive psychology philosophies. As the first person to get his advanced degree in Positive Psychology, he has a unique, valuable, even revolutionary perspective on just about everything related to mental training. Chris shares personal stories and examples of his coaching, and shows what itâs really like to take a client through negative visualization. He even shares the script he uses with athletes so that you can start using this tool right away in your own coaching practice. And since we were live on a coaching call with The Insider Mastermind, he answers loads of real questions from real mindset coaches. This episode is robust enough to listen to on itâs own, and is also a great follow up to our first interview together, so tune in and let me know on IG @lindseypositiveperform what you think of the episode!

[0:55] Chris starts the episode by talking about some of the positive psychology concepts (like âgrowth mindsetâ) that have gone mainstream, and how these interpretations fall short.
[3:30] Classical psychology asks, âWhatâs wrong here, and how do we fix it? Positive psychology asks âWhat is the situation, and where is the opportunity?â
[6:06] Why do people practice visualization? Chris explains the value of visualization, and how it helps the human brain prepare for high stakes situations.
[8:46] There are a lot of unwitting disciples of BF Skinner, The King of Behaviorism. Chris believes humans are more complex than these studies are able to measure. Chris talks about how behaviorism feeds oversimplified assumptions about visualization.
[13:58] If your goal is to NOT think about something, youâve set an impossible goal. Chris gives a âwhite bearâ analogy that proves his point.
[17:54] Chris describes whatâs happening in your brain during fight or flight, and how he helps to coach swimmers through the âworst case scenarioâ.
[20:15] Chris shares a specific example of working with an athlete and how he utilized negative visualization to help her move through her fears proactively.
[24:53] Sharing personal examples, Chris talks about a situation with a swimmer, one challenge of working with young athletes, and the importance of keeping everything in perspective.
[31:35] Bianca asks how Chris handles athletes who say âI donât knowâ in response to his questions. Chris talks about his background in sports media and what it taught him about getting information out of athletes (like Michael Phelps).
[34:59] Lindsey shares a different way she has used negative visualization as an athlete, and the way she teaches it today.
[39:39] Lindsey and Chris discuss the role of negative visualization in calming the nervous system. Chris answers some questions from the group, starting with one student that asks if negative visualizations should be followed up with positive visualizations.
[45:40] The Insider Mastermind students are challenged to come up with a metaphor to help athletes release feelings after going through a negative visualization.
[47:36] Chris chats about his understanding of the relationship between Michael Phelps and his coach. A student asks how Chris finishes a negative visualization session with an athlete. Chris explains his intuitive approach, and relates to feeling nervous about using negative visualization as a coach.
[51:39] Lindsey wraps up the episode with a quick chat about fear of failure, how to anticipate obstacles, and how anxiety can increase by ignoring the worst case scenario. Chris shares his contact information and plugs his podcast, The Swim Brief.
NEGATIVE VISUALIZATION - SCRIPT
Ask your athelte to sit down and prepare to visualize. Then move through the following questions:
What is the worst that could happen?How will I feel if that happens?What will happen next?Continue to ask âwhat will happen nextâ until you get to the existential question.
The purpose of this exercise is:
To be able to relay to the subconscious, âWeâve thought it all the way through, you donât need to bring it up anymoreâ.To validate yourself emotionally by telling yourself, âIt makes sense that Iâm worried about this.âFor you, as a coach, to understand the root of the issue to better coach them up.Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts

Mental Mondays are designed to give you one tip, tool, or technique that you can implement this week. Today, I dropped my daughter off at soccer camp.

Tune into today's episode where I'll share the advice I gave to my daughter.

How many times in your career have you really gotten support or structure to help you coach the mental game?
You have athletes that struggle with confidence. You have athletes that get injured and have to be benched. You have athletes that get super nervous before games. This is a normal part of coaching, and a huge part of your job. And as a coach, I know youâre doing your best. So many of us try to solve problems as they come up, but, even with the best of intentions, this can create an unhealthy and overwhelming dynamic where athletes lean on us more than they should.
If you feel like you are running around putting out fires, itâs time to set up a sprinkler system.
Itâs time to help your athletes help themselves!
In todayâs episode, Iâm talking about the very real impact of coaching (which almost makes me tear up because itâs so freaking important). Most importantly, I am teaching you 6 foundational pieces to help you coach the mental game.
What I teach in this episode has the power to transform and strengthen your team. These foundational tools will help your athletes to manage their own nerves, confidence, disappointment, etc. so that they are more empowered, and you are freed up to coach at a higher level.
In case no one ever set you up for success with a mental training toolbox, Iâm giving it to you today!
You can read a bunch of books, and listen to podcasts, and google topics on the internet, AND still have no idea what to teach on a Tuesday afternoon. My goal for this episode is for you to walk away with an understanding of everything you need to coach the mental game.
Because you deserve a system!

I reconnected with my friend and colleague, Brooke Wyckoff, for what I thought would be a conversation about modern coaching, but ended up being a much deeper conversation about her battle with cancer.
Brooke is a former professional basketball player, and current Head Coach at Florida State. Even through chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, Brooke did not let her diagnosis slow her down, and continued to lead her team. She is a badass and a pillar in her community, and her unwavering strength and positivity shines through in this episode.
In this episode, we talk about:
The emotional and mental challenges of being diagnosedHow mindset work prepared Brooke to battle cancerHow Brookeâs experience will influence the way she navigates coaching, parenthood, and life moving forwardThe foundational importance of team building - and how Brooke nurtures trust and closeness on her team.The vulnerability of asking for help, and how Brookeâs community stepped up.Iâve always been such a big fan of Brookeâs, and getting to dissect the mental and emotional components of what sheâs been through, and for her to share her heart on this platform, is really powerful and such an honor.
From someone who has faced the unthinkable and gone through it with so much grace, this episode offers a perspective shift that we can all benefit from. I know this episode will become a fast favorite!
A huge thank you again to Brooke for coming on The MCA Podcast to share her story!

What can you do when you know your schedule is about to shift?
Perhaps youâre about to go into a season of chaos like a job change, summer vacation, the holidays, starting a business, or going back to school. Or maybe youâre about to quit your job, take maternity leave, or go on vacation and you know youâll suddenly have a lot of time off (maybe too much time).
Iâve experienced both sides of this. As a former professional athlete and mom of 4, I will say, Iâm much more comfortable with chaos than I am with days and days of free time. And when I donât plan ahead and set myself up for success, I can come out of the other end feeling really s*****.
If you are about to enter either a busy season without a plan, itâs really easy to end up in a shame cycle which can erode your confidence and make you feel like you donât know how to manage your time. Planning ahead can totally change your experience and remind you that you are in control!
This is a marathon, not a sprint. And youâll find that itâs way easier to stay steady and keep the momentum going by planning ahead.
Listen to the full episode for context, and come back to the 3 step outline below whenever you need it.
Step 1: Fight for your time. Donât let decisions get made for you.
Q: What do I need to do to create space in my life this summer?
Q: What would having that time mean to me?Q: How would it feel?
Step 2: Commit to less than you think you can actually get done. And overcommit to those few things. i.e. Come hell or high water, I WILL do these 3 things.
Q: What do you actually want/need to accomplish?
Q: What do you need to do to make sure it gets done?

I had the great pleasure of interviewing The Bodacious Brotherhood. The BB came together in The Mindset Coach Academy Certification when they were randomly assigned to the same small group.
I always say that you âget out of the small group what you put into itâ, and these men showed whatâs possible when you cut the bullshit, get vulnerable, and put it all on the table.
I first noticed this group had a special bond when they started calling each other out during our weekly big group calls. I knew I had to get this group of men on the podcast to talk about how they pushed past social norms to create this special group centered around radical honesty and vulnerability.
In the episode, we cover:
The key moment early on that defined their team cultureHow rare it is to have vulnerable male friendshipsAdvice for men wanting to develop deeper relationshipsThe massive ripple effect of accountability and supportIf youâre interested in joining The MCA Certification, see whatâs possible! Take a peek inside one of the most valuable pieces of the program: The small groups!
