The words we speak each day can have a lasting impact on our lives. Either our utterances build us up, or they can pull us down. The choice is ours. Please, form the habit of positive affirmations or self-talk and stop condemning yourself.
Stop telling yourself, “I’m such an idiot!” when you make mistakes, as we all do from time to time.
I have adapted ideas in this post from the “The success principles” book by Jack Canfield. (No affiliation, just respect for a great author).
What is an Affirmation?
An affirmation or self-talk is “a statement that describes a goal in its already completed state”, according to Jack Canfield. Self-talk stretches our comfort zones. They bombard our subconscious minds with new ideas and thoughts of our future goals as already achieved in the present time.
Muhammed Ali was a notable master of the power of positive self-talk. In February 1964, at the age of 22, he made a bold statement that altered his life forever. At that time, Mr Ali was not yet famous.
