Most of us are in constant mental chatter all day long, and, unfortunately, this self talk is frequently negative.

Often it is tainted with guilt about our past, comparing ourselves to someone else or anxiety about our future.

This negativity can make us feel ‘less than,’ ‘disappointed,’ ‘frustrated,’ or ‘anxious.’

“Why did I do that” 

“Boy, that was stupid” 

“Why can’t I be better looking, smarter, faster, more efficient, more energetic….” (and the list goes on and on)

“I doubt I can accomplish that” 

“It will probably be a disaster”

“I just can’t get it all done”

“I’ll never figure it all out”

Never say anything about yourself that you don’t want to be true.

If you don’t talk to yourself in a positive way, you have an automatic default setting which causes you to think about your worries, doubts, problems, and concerns. 

Your internal dialogue determines 95% of how you feel, and you believe what you continually repeat to yourself.

Your mind is extremely powerful!

It’s like driving down the street and you can steer your car to go left or right.

If you don’t deliberately steer the wheel towards the positive, you’ll default to the negative.

Three of the most positive words you can say to yourself are:

I like myself!

“I like myself, I like myself, I like myself! 

Repeat it over and over.

• Prior to answering the phone, I like myself!
• Prior to completing a project, I like myself!
• Prior to a conversation, I like myself!

Be your own cheer leading session.

I like myself

I like myself

I like myself

I like myself

You can’t say I like myself without feeling more confident, inspired and positive.

The more you like yourself, and the more you like other people, the more they’ll like you right back and they’ll want to be associated with you.

Repeat it over and over several times a day.

“I like myself, I like myself, I like myself”

I really, really like myself!
