Talk To Yourself!

Everyday we get the chance to find out who we are. But what if you don't know what to look for? How do You become confidant?
Here is a break down of what I'm doing right now.
1) Find your passion
2) positive self talk
3) working out
4) giving back
5) find your routine
6) RED LIPSTICK
7) learn something new everyday
8) apply something new you learned to your life
9) change your perspective 
10) spread the wealth!



So last week we talked about passion, and your why. I hope you found the information helpful.

How do you talk to yourself? No, for real how do you talk to yourself?

"I'm not good enough"
"I'm fat"
"I could never do a thing like that, I would just fail"
"It's too hard and I would never finish"
"I'm not athletic enough"
"To Short"
"To Tall"
"I suck"

If any of those things have crossed you mind, you need to learn positive self talk.
My mother always tried to make me do this, and I always rolled my eyes and walked away.
But now I try to do it daily!
What is it?
Simply put every negative thought that you say out loud or internally, you replace it.
I try to do it every time. Emphasis on try. Positive self talk is a learned behavior, just like negative talk is a learned behavior, and it will take time.
The other day I had an ah-ha moment. I was on the treadmill, I'm going fast (for ME) and I wanted to stop to slowdown, I knew that if I did I would still reach my goal of 3.1 miles.
So I started to talk to myself. you can't do this, your too heavy and you are hurting. Just slowdown.
At that moment I realized what I was doing all of this for. Because my mom couldn't, because I always do this to myself. Then out of nowhere I hear this tiny voice in my head telling the negative voice to shut up. That I got this. Soon it was yelling in my head, so loud that the negative (in my Muggle mind, I picture the small and injured Voldemort in a fetal position) Voices were quiet.
So I want, scratch that, you NEED to have your ah-ha moment. Start now. If you hear or say any of those statements above stop yourself, tell yourself NO, and replace it with a positive message!!! You got this, I know you do, and YOU know you do. SO BRING IT!
