Talk positively to yourself

Yesterday, we talked about how your brain is listening all the time and that it makes no distinction between truth and untruth.  

If you speak negatively, it listens to you and believes you.

But the opposite is also true.  

Positive self-talk is accepted, especially with repetition.

“I feel great!”  “I am going to work on my most important goal today, and I’m going to crush it!” 

“I love what I’m going to be doing today”.  “I got this.”

As Zig Ziglar said, “Positive thinking won’t allow you to do anything, but it will allow you to do everything better than negative thinking will.”

Positive self-talk is reflected in your attitude, which others notice.  When others notice your positive attitude, they respond more positively to you.  Because they respond positively to you, it’s easier for you to be even more positive.  It’s a positive feedback loop – a spiral up.

Words matter – mostly to you.
