Practice Positive Self-Talk
We all have said a negative thing or two about ourselves. But do we believe it?
Think about how you talk to yourself. Do you say things like I’m so stupid, I can’t do this, I’m not good at anything, I’m too fat, too tall, or too short, I’m not very attractive; or what about I will never amount to anything? These words are negative self-scripts that someone once said to you. You have now held these self-deprecating remarks to be true about yourself.
Repeating these and other types of negative scripts reinforce negative behavior and only deminish your self-worth and self-confidence.
To overcome this mindset, try replacing the negative self-talk with some positive self-talk. Identify all of your accomplishments, no matter how great or small you may think they are and celebrate them. Replace the negative self-scripts with positive words such as: I have everything I need, I can do this, I feel energetic and excited about my life and I welcome new possibilities, I am an attractive, intelligent person with unique gifts and talents.
Don’t be surprised if these words feel awkward at first. They might feel completely foreign to you. You might feel like you are just making these things up, they aren’t really true, but what you are doing is reprogramming your mind to counter everything you have come to believe to be true about you.
The more you practice your positive self-talk, the more you’ll connect with your Higher Self and reveal your true authentic self. It’s this connection that will ultimately silence your negative self-talk for good.
Want the “World”, but not the Work?

Do you often envision your life some thing different from what it is now? You may envision a healthier or a slimmer you with more disposable income; a successful career, a happier marriage, trustworthy and driven children.
If you had a magical tool that can make all of your desires come true, how would you feel? I bet you would feel wonderful, fantastic, like you’re living your best life ever! Now let’s use that magical tool and fast forward one year into the future. Are you happier? Do you feel that life can’t get any better, but it does?
Well you do have that magical tool and it’s called WORK. What I mean by work is putting forth your best effort, time, resources, skills, knowledge, techniques, life experiences, and everything else in between to get you living your best life ever!
Most people want the world but do not want to work for it. They want the quick-fix solutions to their problems. They want to lose the extra 20 lbs, but instead of applying disciple by eating the right foods and regular exercise, they opt for liposuction to get rid of the weight.
The truth is you and only you are responsible for your life (of course they are always exception to the rule). That means, you are to do whatever (within society’s moral and ethical code of conduct) it takes to create your best life. If you are mentally and physically able, then you have what it takes to do the necessary work that will position you to live the life you want.
WORK means making sacrifices, applying discipline, initiating will power, possessing determination, and most of all investing time into working on your dreams. If you’re serious about living your best life, then you must certainly do the WORK.
Based on the results my clients have received, it showed that if you do the work, you will get the “World”.
