Four Levels of Self-Talk

1) Negative Resignation - You resign to no change, and this is signified by 'I can't' 'If only' 'I wish' verbiage on a daily basis

2) Recognition, but no change - You recognize that the self-talk is negative in your mind, but you don't do anything about it

3) Stopping the negative self-talk - This is realizing the negative self-talk inside of you and stopping it, but you do not replace it with anything positive

4) Stopping the negative self-talk and telling yourself what you are going to do.  This is identified by "Next time I intend to...' 'I am better than that' 'I want to...'

To be high performance, replacing everything negative by painting and reconstructing into a positive is the main key.
