Using Positive Self-Talk to Conquer Any Goal
I believe that one of the hardest thing for me with any of my goals is my thoughts! Do you feel like you are always talking yourself out of success? As soon as you start to set goals for yourself,do you suddenly have nagging thoughts about how you aren’t up to the task or how you simply aren’t qualified to carry it through? This can be so frustrating! It is can be so exciting to make a goal and see yourself achieving it until those dreaded doubt creep in!
If you have ever experienced these situations,you need to change the way you respond to your inner dialogue. Instead of obeying your negative commands,you can use positive self-talk to counter the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts.
Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-Talk
Are you initially filled with excitement when you first set goals for yourself? Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started? I just had this happen last night. I was so excited about the idea of being able to get out of debt and build our own house all on the income from my online business then (the doomsday music plays) I start to wonder if it will really happen!
It can be difficult to make the most of your life when you are constantly talking yourself out of being a success. It can be frustrating and discouraging to have these thoughts constantly plaguing you. Many of us,in fact,don’t even realize we have them! All we know is that we don’t have the confidence to stick to our plans and reach our goals.
But there’s another way!
Can you believe it? There is another way! Positive self-talk is an effective way to set goals and ensure that you stick to them,even if you have never been able to do this before. The way this works is that you decide what goal is important to you,and then you plan the logistics of how you are going to attain this goal. When self-doubt starts kicking in,you will respond with affirmations that prove your success without surrendering to the negative pressure. Since you’re reading this article,it’s clear that you’re no quitter and you’re certainly not a failure,so start believing in yourself! One of the best books I have found for affirmations and self-talk as well as visualizing what your really want is Creative Visualization:Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Your Life (Gawain,Shakti)
Re-Programming Your Mind
Affirmations
Positive self-talk is easier to implement than you might think. You may not be aware of the severity of the negative dialogue currently within your mind. However,once you begin with positive self-talk,you will suddenly realize that you are self-sabotaging the goals you set for yourself from the minute that you make them. This process can open your eyes to exactly how much this inner conversation has been interfering with your life. You’ll feel hopeful that you can now set goals and surpass them.
Through positive self-talk you will be able easily set long and short-term goals for yourself. And when you use affirmations,you’ll have accessible tools to help you push yourself further than ever before. Learning to quiet negativity with positive thoughts is a great move toward setting and attaining future goals with ease.
If you need a jumpstart on the positive self-talk or you need someone else to reinforce these affirmations coaching is a great way to go. A coach can help you stay on track and help you feel more confident about your goals. If you are interested in coaching you can have One on One Coaching with Kelly McCausey. She is someone that I would recommend that will help get your business goals on track. She also has a great program The Power of a Focused Business. This is a program that has helped me focus on what I need to accomplish and believe that I can do it!
Remember you are worthy of success!!
