Julia
has always known that she would be a success. Of course, there were many
days when she didn’t feel so confident, but she did not let that stand in
the way. She went through days of feeling fear and hopelessness and failure
and defeat just like anyone else. The difference for Julia was the fact
that she never let herself feel those negative feelings for long. She
grounded herself and brought her thinking back to what was important: her
passion and success.
Kate,
on the other hand, allowed herself to sit in those negative emotions
whenever they popped up. She would even take several days off at a time and
allow her fears to consume her. She was never confident that she was doing
the right thing and her self-talk was proof. She considered herself a
failure from the start.
The
difference between the two sisters is their self-talk. Julia has control of
hers; Kate does not. When Julia feels herself slide into that negative
mindset, she starts talking herself out of it. She uses positive
affirmations several times a day until she starts to believe them. This
works very well for her and it shows in the success of her career.
When
Kate realizes that all she has to do is change her thinking, she will put
herself on the path to success. It’s an easy thing to do and it has great
results.
To
change your self-talk, start with a simple affirmation. It could look like
any of the following:
I am a successful business owner.
I have peace and calm in my life. (For
those who have stress.)
I constantly attract those who can help
me.
I am attractive to the perfect mate for me.
(For the single person.)
I am constantly getting stronger. (For
healing)
The
next step is to say this affirmation (or affirmations) over and over. You
can write them down 15 times a day until they come true or you can put them
on post-it notes on your bathroom walls. You can write about them in your
journal every night. The point is, talk about them, think about them, write
about them, and repeat them as much as you can. This puts your mind in the
space of being in the space you want to be.
The
final step is to know that it’s coming. You will automatically work towards
making it happen, usually through inner change, which will attract what it
is you want.
This
is the biggest secret to success – your own self-talk. How simple is that?
