Confidence Tip: Practice Positive Self-Talk
Do you talk to yourself? If you’re sitting there wondering “Do I talk to myself?” Then the answer is, YES! You just did it! Pay attention to the messages you give to yourself and be your own BFF. Talk to yourself the way you wish others would speak to you.
If you catch yourself saying something negative, consciously tell yourself to stop and then replace that thought with a more positive and empowering statement such as “I am enough – just the way I am” or “I matter,” “I am loved and lovable.”
We teach people how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves. You want love? Start loving yourself.
Affirmations are positive statements in the present tense spoken as if they are already achieved. When practiced and repeated over time, these positive statements become new beliefs which effect our behavior and attitude and we then begin to see different results.
Louise Hay has been teaching about the power of affirmations for more than 25 years. In her latest book, “Experience Your Good Now: Learning to Use Affirmations, Louise explains, when you use affirmations, you’re really saying to your subconscious mind: “I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.”
