Stuttering and fluency. Two key components of a chaotic equation.
Stuttering. Not JUST a physical speech problem. A problem which affects ALL aspects of one's life.
One's choices, decisions, beliefs, goals, dreams, confidence, who HE/SHE IS and who he CAN BECOME... all his beliefs about himself and his ability to achieve desired goals in life are all run, shaped, controlled and lead by his stuttering mindset. If you are a person who suffers from stuttering, I am sure you would easily relate with this equation.
So, the question here is;
How can we solve this equation?
Here is how...
By understanding, practicing, playing and winning the GAME OF FLUENCY.
The game of fluency has two core components:
1) The Inner Game Of Fluency 2) The Outer Game Of Fluency
Inner game is the mental/conceptual side of the equation. This is your mindset, your beliefs, your intentions, your personality characteristics, the way you approach the problem, etc. This is your mental and conceptual skill set. This is the game you play IN you. If you don't build this strong enough no matter what "fluency techniques" you use, you will either get NO or TEMPORARY results. Self development, which is so critical and essential to win the game of fluency, comes into play at this stage of the game!
On the other hand, outer game is the specific mental and physical tools and techniques you use to take control of your speech. If your inner game is strong and well developed, your outer game will enable you to achieve your goals and get the results you want. The results will only come by playing the outer game but you can't have an effective, result-oriented outer game if you don't back it up with strong inner game. So, in other words, one doesn't work without the other.
Your game has two parts and BOTH needs to be there in order for you to win this game and reach your speaking goals. Start with the inner game and then get equipped with the outer game. If you get these two core parts of your game handled, there wouldn't be any single reason why you shouldn't make this happen and WIN the GAME OF FLUENCY.
So, the next question you might be asking to yourself is;
How can I improve my inner and outer game?
Inner game can be improved by focusing mainly on SELF DEVELOPMENT topics which are CUSTOMIZED for stuttering where the outer game can be improved by learning and practicing step by step models, proven strategies, necessary skills, effective speaking tools and techniques, etc.
When we look at the big picture, it all comes down to answering this question honestly;
Are you going to play this game to win or not to lose?
Now that you roughly understand the STRUCTURE of the game of fluency, what you need to do next is to learn the RULES of the game, get equipped with EFFECTIVE TOOLS, latest TECHNIQUES, proven STRATEGIES, step-by-step MODELS, right SYSTEMS and last but not least PRACTICE those to the fullest until you WON the game of fluency.
... And this is not far away if you can put the CHAOTIC PUZZLE OF FLUENCY GAME together and act accordingly!
