We generate 60,000 thoughts everyday, engaging in an ongoing internal dialogue. At times, we catch ourselves thinking, “That’s a foolish question.” These moments often pull us into the past, depleting our emotional energy as we grapple with negative emotions or persistent stagnation.

But what if we could break free from this cycle? What if we could reshape our internal conversation to uplifts and guide us empowering our road to winning more breakaway ropings victory and enhance our overall lives?

Consider this shift:

From: “Why am I so nervous? I do this all the time in the practice pen, why am I so out of control now?

To: “How can I channel this nervous energy to my advantage? It’s normal to feel nervous; it’s part of the challenge to be the fastest on a calf. I’ve got this.”

When your mind questions if you’ll ever reach your goals and you find yourself thinking, “What’s the point? You never win.”

Shift thoughts to: “What small step can I take right now? What if I commit to shifting my thoughts for month and break this negative pattern? How can I make this fun?

Instead of asking, “Why does this always happen to me? Why can’t I draw a winning calf? Use this moment to explore resilience: How can I become more resilient? What does resilience mean in my life? What can I learn from a challenging situations or being the first roper out?”

Replace thoughts of inadequacy, such as “I’m not good enough. I won’t be as fast as the leading roper,” with empowering belief: I am skilled and have succeeded before. I possess the potential to out perform anyone here. I’ve demonstrated my abilities countless times. I’ve got this!”

Rather than dwelling on the reasons behind someone’s actions, reframe your thoughts: “How can I be comfortable with not understanding ‘why’ and move forward? People act based on their perceptions; it’s not a reflection on me. How can I offer support if needed?”

When faced with an unexpected challenge, like a stubborn calf, approach it with curiosity. How can you adapt your approach or find creative solutions to manage unpredictable cattle? By releasing judgments and embracing a growth-oriented mindset, you open the door to potential success.

Along your evolvement as a breakaway roper, as in life, our internal dialogue plays a crucial role. By consciously reshaping our thoughts and beliefs, we can harness the power of positivity and resilience, transforming obstacles into opportunities and setbacks into stepping stones. As you step into the arena, remember: Every thought you cultivate contributes to your success. Embrace the change, trust in your abilities, and ride the wave of transformation toward greater achievements. The path to victory starts within, and with each shift in your inner dialogue, you’re one step closer to claiming your well-deserved triumphs.

Mastering Confident Communication

Our truth is simply a thought we believe. What makes a thought our truth is our decision to believe it. If you want to continue believing a thought, be sure it serves you, that it serves your relationship, and that there’s a healthy and productive reason to say it out loud.

Understanding the power of confident communication can be transformative in both your personal and professional life. I am sharing 4 keys crucial lessons that will enhance your communication skills to gain sponsorships as well as meaningful connections through your conversations.

Lesson 1: Understanding the Communication Process

Communication if multifaceted process involving not just words but also intentions and interpretations. Often, by the time someone has interpreted what you said, the message is very different from what you meant. It’s a translation problem-like the game of telephone we played when we were kids. You can solve this problem by saying what you mean precisely and verifying with the other person that they heard what you said by asking them, “ What did you hear me say?”

Lesson 2: The Importance of Truth-Telling

While it’s essential to be authentic, remember that “our truth” is subjective and based on our beliefs. Before sharing your truth, evaluate its impact on both yourself and your relationships. Ensure that your words serve a constructive purpose rather than causing them harm. We get to decide what our truth is and our decision to believe it.

Lesson 3: Transition from Feedback to Feed-Forward

Feedback is often laden with negative emotions, which can be detrimental to both parties involved. Instead, embrace feed-forward. This approach involves three steps: cleansing your negative thoughts, taking responsibility, and collaboratively seeking solutions. By doing so, you create a more constructive and supportive communication environment. What people say is usually about them and not about you. Be open to solution finding while accepting the feedback not allowing negative emotion to take over.

Lesson 4: The Power of Apology

Apologizing, even when you believe you’re not at fault, can be a game-changer in communication. It opens doors for dialogue and shows empathy. Offering an apology when tension arise is a strategic move that fosters understanding and resolution. Gratitude can immediately throw someone off their track when you are at the other end of their negative talk. It will literally jerk them out of their thought spiral of negativity.

Victim or vulnerable—which will it be? The Choice is yours, and knowing this is essential. Opting for the victim role relinquishes your power, unraveling your character. If you blame your calf for a lost victory, your don’t just become a victim; you confine yourself to a cycle of inadequacy, hindering your growth and responses to suboptimal situations. Haven’t you seen all the list of excuses Team Ropers give? Well its universal. Don’t let yourself off the hook because you don’t label as a Team Roper.

On the other hand, vulnerability is where your true strength resides. Yes, you can CHOOSE. You hold the reins to determine whether you surrender to victimhood.

When we gravitate towards victimhood, assigning blame to calf, horse, ground, circumstances, we shroud ourselves in excuses. Sounds like we are being productive but your not, your making it ok to be a victim. This shields us from acknowledging our innate power to potential action in the moment, the ability to react to a calf, or a horse change, horrible ground, or any number of circumstances. The uncomfortable emotions become a haven; we act erratically, defensively, or offensively to evade negative feelings tied to subpar performances or external pressures. Haven’t you seen a girl through her rope in the air because of not reacting well, then blaming the calf or any number of excuses. Your emotions override your skills and the excuses begin.

However, embracing vulnerability ignites courage and curiosity. It recognizing that nerves are natural, challenges are formidable and stepping in the arena test your skills. You permit others’ opinions with out internal turmoil. Nervousness and stress coexist with your determination, becoming part of the challenge of being 2.0 or less when you know your head at a rodeo or roping. Ironically, vulnerability safeguards our strength's - this fact is both counterintuitive and undeniable.

Being a victim does’t equal to weakness; it’s merely a mental loop. The thoughts circle back again and again. “I’m not good enough” “Others have something I don’t” I can’t figure out why I can’t win” ETC, ETC. This mentality spans a need for a villain and often times we point at ourselves so we get hard and push harder and try harder but continue to get the same results proving to us that we are a victim. Until we get a grasp on what is causing this victim mentality, (Our thoughts) we will continue to create the same results. Recognizing shared humanity- the person next to you has a similar story they tell their selves. The bible is full of examples of people navigating these roles a timeless testament to our shared struggles. We do not have to put others on a super human pedestal. This only leaves us hurt and delusional.

Vulnerability stems form acknowledging your inherent worth and completeness. Your perfect and worthy. This is how you were created, and there is nothing you can do about that. You came in to this world that way.

Contemplate this: You don’t get to decide if you’re enough; that’s already settled. Your presence affirms it. The peak of vulnerability surfaces the you embrace your feeling unashamed, assuming full accountability for your emotions. This is where profound self- connection blooms. Its’s the equation where you best performances materialize- the true magic of being open and vulnerable comes alive. This is where 85% of contestants don’t give recognition to and leave out of their performance.
