Do you believe it?

Does it hold you back from getting what you want?

It would be nice if we all told ourselves only positive self-affirmations about how powerful, kind, loving and smart we are.

But too often, it’s the opposite. We tell ourselves the most awful insults – hurtful comments we would never lob at a friend.

We all do it. We all tell ourselves limiting self-beliefs. And they’re all such nonsense.

Whenever you hear one, stop it dead in its tracks. Replace it with something positive and helpful about yourself – the kind of thing you WOULD tell a distraught friend.

Remember that promotion you got…

The smile you put on someone’s face…

The joy you felt when you finished a creative project…

Choose to focus on the positive messages that will fuel you forward.

Yes, negative self-lies will cross your mind sometimes – and that’s OK. You can’t control what crosses your mind, so just… let it… go.

What’s more, I want you to start writing these positive self-statements in your journal. Share them with loved ones. Say them to yourself in the mirror.

You know these things are true, and you know that they’re helpful.

You’re just not hearing them enough!
