Author of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ Robert Kiyosaki famously quotes, "It’s not what comes out of your mouth that determines your life, it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power".
There is a little voice that pops up in your head from time to time, when you’re about to try something new or you’ve just gone through a breakup or you f$&ked up royally at work.
These private conversations you have with yourself can be either a powerful stepping stone or a major obstacle to reaching your goals.
Staying positive, thinking positive, ‘faking it till you make it’ is so much easier said than done, agree!
We all want to be happy, none of us want to bitch and moan about everything, and we sure as hell wish we didn't care what other people thought, or said about us.
“You see what "Emma" commented on your FB post this morning?”
“.....What! When? Sorry what she write?”
*Scroll, scroll, scroll. Swipe, swipe…*
And as your eyes read and marinade on the comment, the little voice of limiting self-worth, belief and esteem whispers sweet caress in your head...
"…Well what Emma wrote is true, you are an XYZ, and you are selfish, self-absorbed, a bad parent, terrible with money, or whatever the case maybe".
We get so used to hearing our own narrations that it’s easy to ignore the messages that we’re sending ourselves.
Every now and then take note of what you’re thinking about and recognise that just because you think something, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Our thought processes are often exaggerated, blown out and well out of proportion.
Here's a challenge for a day, or even this coming week:
Communicate with yourself how you would speak to your best friend, or a person of key influence you just met.
Be honest but also treat yourself equally as kind as you’d treat a friend or someone you just met. Why?
Because you’re worth it.
Treat yourself, just as you treat others.
4 TIPS FOR POSITIVE SELF TALK:
1. Force the f$&en rainbow:
Life isn't all rainbows unicorns and glitter, sometimes it's stormy, there's no glitter, and your late on your Telstra account!
‘Force the rainbow’, and make it an optimistic situation. It's all about perception, you can choose to be in the glitterless storm, or you can force a f$&en rainbow.
2. Turn off your F$&KEN Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Tinder, Grinder.
There is no other sure fire way to inject self-doubt into your head then being at the mercy of (notifications, dings, alerts, etc)
Have a break. The sun will rise still tomorrow whether you’re up to see it, or in bed scrolling!)
3. Shower Power!
My favourite!
We would all agree we need to shower 1-3 times daily.
This is a perfect trigger to remind us it's mantra time.
As you lather that organic pomegranate and peach soap into those difficult to find spaces we can speak to ourselves with a powerful and profound "I am Statements":
I AM patient
I AM Positive
1 AM Persistent
I AM abundant
1 AM Honest
4: Dial a friend.
Seriously make the call.
One of your friends whose not Switzerland, and their not the "devil’s advocate"
Their your true friend. They say good things behind your back, and bad things to your face.
