CONSIDERATION 3

1. LISTEN TO YOUR SELF TALK. Reinforce the positive talk and start work on eliminating the negative self-talk. When you hear a negative one say: Is that really true ? Is that in my best interest ? If not then say: "That's not like me, I'm ........." (the positive statement of what is in your best interest.).

2. CHOOSE A QUALITY OR CHARACTERISTIC AND WRITE AFFIRMATIONS & VISUALIZATIONS.

TO MAKE THEM WORK

1. Read them several times a day. Say 5-20 times.

2. Visualize them vividly

3. Get the feeling. Create the emotion that accompany the affirmation

** IMPACT: READ ONLY - 10% IMPACT

READ & PICTURE- 55% IMPACT

READ, PICTURE, & FEEL-100% IMPACT.

Ø Remember the process: Read what you have written; Visualize what it is like to be like that.; Put yourself into the picture, see yourself there and get the feeling of how it is to be like that. Then commit to that. That is the way I am. (If your Self-Image says “But I’m not like that” then reply that is the way I intend to be and be a good actor and act that way.
