Changing Directions through Self-talk!

Self-talk has been around for a lot of years: it’s recognition of what we say to ourselves. Many of the mind-gurus claim 80% of what the average person says is undermining, blocking and self-destructive. It’s all part of the conditioned mind--the result of your life up to the present. If you feel blocked, inhibited, and feel that it’s the way you think, or the things you say, YOU have the power to change this . The Subconscious Mind, your internal biological computer, learns through repetition, which is why advertisers bombard us with commercials over and over again.

You can change the way you think by changing your own self-talk, simply by resolving to do it. Talk to yourself whenever you have the opportunity, whenever you are alone. Do this powerful exercise.

MY FIVE DESIRES

Each month, select five of the most important affirmations or self-talk that you want or desire to apply in your life. (Desire is the energyyou use to get things done.) Write or print the five affirmations on a card. Keep them handy...somewhere where you will see them several times a day. Do not say them in a monitone, or sound as if you are bored. Whenever you have the opportunity, repeat them aloud with gusto and desire--as if your life depended on it. Incidentally, never, never show your affirmations card to anyone else--even that special person in your life. Other people may not see the affirmations the way you do, and a simple question such as: “Why do you need to do that?” will start the de-energizing process.

Incidentally, your list of five can also be repeated while you are in your sanctuary, as suggested in my article of “Do it yourself: Relaxation.” Repeating affirmations when relaxed, has greater effect.

Here are some examples of self-talk affirmations. If you need more, create them yourself. This will get you started. Good luck, and remember: Think well - be well.

ROADMAP TO THE FUTURE

A point to remember: Your goals are your roadmap to the future. Affirmations or self-talk fuel the desire to achieve those goals. A person without goals is like a ship, all fueled and loaded, with no propeller, no rudder and no destination. One further thing: write down your goals. They take on a different dimension when they’re written down.
