What does it take to wake up every morning and know to the
bottom of your soul—you CAN achieve what you set out to
do?
Millions of people read self-help books, watch and listen to
programs designed to cheerlead them into their promised
future. And yet so few go to bed each night safe in the
knowledge that not only did they persevere, they actually
overcame the obstacles standing in their way. Why are they
continuing to fall asleep in a general state of anxiety, worry
and exhaustion?
Probably because there are old, set patterns of
disempowering thoughts preventing true growth.
What would you give to really, finally make the constant array
of negative talk in your head a thing of the past?
Actually, the real question is what would you give away? So
much of what blocks people from their goals are the
endless voices in their heads that make it very difficult to
remain positive and on the right track.
It takes effort to go inside oneself and discover where those
enemies lie. Here’s how to begin:
First thing to do is pay attention to the words and the tone.
Whose are they? Are they actually yours? More often than
not, so many of the messages you spend your life agreeing
with, were never yours to begin with. So listen again, and
listen hard. Is it mom, dad, sibling, friend, teacher, enemy? If
so, now is the perfect opportunity to take that data and hit
delete. The same way you scan your computer for viruses,
scan your being for corrupting information and make sure
that they are detected, brought to the light and discarded
before they can inflict any further damage.
Then listen for the words, actions, and ways that people
have encouraged you through the years. We tend to focus
so much on the negative, we sometimes forget that in spite
of everything, there have been days, moments, experiences
that went our way. There were people who told us “Good
job!” and “I love YOU!” Make sure those messages are filed
up front on the desktop of your mind—like a favorite sticky
that reminds you every time you forget that you are
important, special and loved!
It takes guts to confront these old demons and see them for
what they really are. And more often than not they are old
recordings, out dated belief systems and general negativity
that do nothing but take up space and energy. It is important
in this exercise to remember that the person or event you
discard has no way of knowing that you have finally purged
them from your system. So feel free and safe to go deep,
and to be thorough.
Your mind is constantly taking in new information. It is
important to make room for more positive outlooks and to
give those new words of support the proper attention. Be
diligent and you will discover your true courage within
encouragement
