Welcome to your first station on your journey – Self Talk & Positivity. Clearly, the critical ingredients in the recipe of success and happiness..

Positive Thinking is a process of keeping a hold of your mind when it turns to swirls to indefinite negativity. Positive thinking helps you moving forward in life rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about future.

Self Talk is a way to program your thinking.  We know a normal psychological phenomenon “we become what we think”. The mind can be programmed to believe something – Just requires some persistence!

Activity

Whenever you think about a what-if scenario – and the thought ends up in a Negative tone, be alert and flip it to the positive thought.

For example, see the following thought trail :

#1 – What if I mess-up my presentation tomorrow in office? Its such an important meeting for me!

#2 – My Boss is going to be mad at me – What if he fires me? Oh God! He will fire me – Similar thing happened with Andrew last year!

#3 – I will have no money – I have mortgage to pay – I am going to end up in a really bad situation!

#4 – Tomorrow is a real bad day and so on….

After Thought No. 2 – stop and step back – Alert your mind that something’s wrong. Think about a positive alternative. Use Self Talk affirmations something like “I am going to make my full efforts and my presentation is going to be great!”. Repeat 10 times!

Whenever you reach a bad thought about the presentation – Repeat the earlier affirmation.

Interpretation

Soon, you will observe how much time you spend dwelling on Negative Thoughts. Negative thoughts are useless – sucks the energy out of you. Positive Thinking on the other hand makes your more active – more head on with life!

Using self-talk affirmations puts you in control of your mind.Mind is your most powerful enemy and your most closest friend.

Design your own affirmations and repeat them to yourself. Make your mind believe it and you shall be victorious!
