Raise your confidence from "zero to superhero" in just one week with my Kwik Confidence program: kwik.page/3TMbV5r Now with a special discount.

How do you monitor and audit your self-talk to have conviction and confidence instead of uncertainty and doubt?

You’ve heard me talk about the ten ways you can upgrade your brain. And one of those ways is your self-talk. I believe your brain is a supercomputer and self-talk is the program it runs. If you believe you’re bad at something, you will be because that’s how you’re programming your brain.

I’m excited to welcome ‪@LaBiohacker‬ on our show today. Melina is an expert in mind technology, a certified neurolinguistic programmer, and notable biohacker. She’s also the author of Biohacker: Tecnología de la Mente, Biohacking y Espiritualidad Práctica para Crear la Mejor Versión de Tu Vida.

Your self-talk is so much more than the words you say. Things like the tone of your voice and the inflection you use projects your inner beliefs to both yourself and to others. Listen in as Melina gives actionable tips to help reengineer your self-talk so that you can unlock the life you desire and deserve.

    You yourself Jim Kwik and Thomas Delauer are my two most supportive mentors on YouTube. You both never ask for anything in return and do it because you both look into the sky and scream into the void for transcendence.
  • @DubberRucks
    Using inflection is indeed so powerful. Rising tells me you're unsure of yourself, but falling reveals your convictions to me. 👍👍

    Melina has so much to share, and it was a pleasure listening her touching up on the subject of biohacking, and her excitement about the upcoming biohacking conferences in Spanish-speaking communities. Also, this is a whole another level of conversation. Jim actively listened with genuine interest, brought out the most interesting topics with soothing calmness, and then summarized them at the end. And all that concentration and real-time memorizing (parallel processing really) looks so easy when he does it. This is a true mastery. The interview was well-controlled for the media format, but it never felt rushed. Thank you for presenting what is possible with a consistent mind development program. I bought his book "Limitless" last year, but I've been practicing "shelf-help" with it. I'm going to read one chapter right now.
  • I loooooove her passion🥹❤️✨ she’s happy talking about all of this. This is her art and purpose!
  • Love this discussion. Thank you for this episode Jim Kwik. Especially when Milena pointed out about respecting the phases of our menstrual cycle. Can relate with that you’re not the same person on each phase of cycle. There are changes in our body that we need to be aware of as a woman and it’s kinda empowering that this gets to be acknowledged and discussed. Looking forward to more talks like this😍

    I've learned and still learning a lot about how our inner dialogue creates or at least calibrates our reality and reality is opportunities, possibilites, changing. We all have experienced how a good unexpected joke made us feel alive again. Because we tend to get safe in our own strategies of telling the same boring script the whole time then when someone with a sharpen mind and soft spirit comes to our life he/she just put some lubricate on our joints. They fill some bad and useless patterns of thoughts with some fresh ones, they accelerate our slow motion self boring talking about serious things. I noted that serious conversation all the time make people dumb faster than no having any conversation at all. Been over exposed to so many repetitive emotional (and many of them powerless/passive/needing/fearful and or doubtful) content is making people too passive. They don't feel they can make any change in their own life anymore. Reality is intangible, no one can measure it, you can only describe reality by your own perception, and perception is a complex thing it relates to our health, relationships, past memories, expectations and so on is impossible to just minimize reality to a few boring words. It's important to update our inner dialogue, because it guides our confirmation bias, it dictates our expectation, it sets our self suggestions, it triggers placebo effect (also psychosomatic). This is not to live a delusional life, it is to enjoy what we already have. No one teaches you to make marketing of your own life for yourself. People only teaches you to make your life good to others, exposing your good things to people who don't even care about your day to day. Life is perceived through your body, without a body you can't experience life, and your body is linked to your mind. If your update your thoughts, upgrading the way you structure your thoughts you will shift your way to expect your senses to perceive reality. It's quite obvious that your new thoughts will giide you to improve your overall health because to face the next level. Blood circulation, breathing, new outfit, photos, songs, places, people, job, dreams. Confidence is sexy, you need to become the best version of you, no one can, just you.
  • So true! Thoughts or word + intensity of emotion = what you will feel. I chose to rewire subconscious so my automatic thoughts are motivating
  • @mindpower6089
    I so needed to hear about not expecting to be the same in every cycle. I've been hard on myself for not being able to stay joyful all month now I am accepting and thankful for the changes! ❤ Great information
