2008 Self Talk

How important is self talk? Yes, we all do it. We are most often not aware

We are doing it but we are. What is your general discussion each day?

 Some things to remember: 

Be aware of reoccurring statements and beliefs that you tell yourself each day. 
Are you a nurturing coach or a critical one?

 Do you look fore reinforcements of your success or repeat failure? Do you say things to yourself such as “Great job I did it” moving away from self doubt?  Realizing you have changed your mindset or telling yourself that things will work out next time after learning a few things.When you fail.View failure as a temporary inconvenience, an opportunity to learn, experience, an isolated event in your life, not a stumbling block but a stepping stone.When you have even a small success.

Reward yourself and savor the moment. Don’t see success as just luck or guilt for

The attention, you did it! When you receive a compliment for any reason, simply respond: “Thank you.”
Accept the value of the compliment graciously whenever you receive it.Always greet the people you meet with a smile.

Introduce yourself to any new association, take the initiative to introduce yourself first,
and always offer your hand first, looking the person in the eyes.In your telephone communications.Answer the telephone with a smile, immediately giving your name to the caller, before you ask for the party you want to speak to and before you state your business. Leading with your own name underscores that a person of value is making the call providing better results.Don’t brag.People who shout for service because of which they feel they are or are arrogant showoffs only shout lack of self esteem and display a desperate need for attention. Don’t tell your problems to people.

Unless they’re directly and closely involved with the solutions don’t do it. Don’t make excuses. Always talk positively about the progress you are trying to make.
Continue to do this when you do self talk and be positive.

  Important Points You need to feel love inside for yourself and others before you can offer it to anyone else.Your own understood sense of value determines the quality of your performance. Performance is only a reflection of internal self worth, not a measure of it.

How exciting, a new year and a fresh start. Are you ready to be positive?

I say the answer is a resounding YES!
