Tune in to the conversation inside your head. Your thoughts accurately reflect who you are. Yes, this is probably <a href=\"http:\/\/stayontargetcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/shhh.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-166\" title=\"shhh\" src=\"http:\/\/stayontargetcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/shhh-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a>something you can blame your mommy for\u2026but something you shouldn\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>The minute we learned to form thoughts, we began to form thoughts about ourselves. These thoughts were a reflection of the world (and people) around us. We mirrored what and who they told us we were\u2026to an extent.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, you learned, as I did, that the one thing your parents could not control were your thoughts. However, your pattern of self-talk was formed. Chances are it reflected the language you were being fed by your caregivers. The good news is, you can change. Sure, you learned a habit when you were a kid. But you are all grown up! Time to embrace the new and improved (i.e. positive) self; get off your kiester and be positive.<\/p>\n<p>There are many methods to changing your self-talk. More about those in future posts. What I want to you start for this week is begin a regiment of saying good things to yourself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stayontargetcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/kitty-confidence.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-167\" title=\"kitty confidence\" src=\"http:\/\/stayontargetcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/kitty-confidence-150x150.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Make sure they are positive statement, not negatives masquerading as positives. For example, \u2018I won\u2019t be negative\u2019 is a negative statement masquerading as a positive. Ten times each day make a positive statement to yourself (and mean it). You will feel better about yourself by weeks end. Because you are what you think you are\u2026think yourself into a more positive you!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few statements to get you started:<\/p>\n<p>CHALLENGES BRING OPPORTUNITIES<\/p>\n<p>I CAN CHOOSE A POSITIVE FRAME OF MIND<\/p>\n<p>I CAN HANDLE WHATEVER COMES<\/p>\n<p>TODAY HAS LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES<\/p>\n<p>I CAN FIND BALANCE IN MY LIFE<\/p>\n<p>I CAN FIND LOVE AND SUPPORT<\/p>\n<p>I CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING<\/p>\n<p>I am a big fan and user of recordings by Kelly Howell. Her Brain Wave Therapy products are based on the principals of Biofeedback. I began using these products over 12 years ago when a friend gave me her work-out tape. I’d never make it through a gym session without it. I also use her Positive Thinking CD. (both of these products use subliminal messages).<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link to her products:<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/brainsync.scarabmedia.com\/pilot.asp?affiliate=815837\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/brainsync.scarabmedia.com\/images\/banners\/brain-sync228x70.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n(affiliate link)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Want to know who you are?
