We can train our minds to work for us rather than against us by thinking in the direction of what we want, even if we aren’t sure how to get there. If you don’t fully believe in yourself, if the most you can say is, “I think I can,” that’s a great start.

Believing in yourself is a process of experiencing positive outcomes and building confidence.  It helps to have positive expectations since what you put your attention on is what you are more likely to get.  Affirm what you want.  Tell yourself, “I think I can.”  Or, “I can do that.” And as Dr. Wayne Dyer wrote about in his book titled, You’ll See It When You Believe It, you too may just find yourself saying, “I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could.”

The Brain Simply Believes...“The brain simply believes what you tell it most.  And what you tell it about, it will create.  It has no choice.” This quote on brain research was shared at a training that I attended last week.

Did you know that we talk to ourselves at 200-400 words per minute? That’s a lot of chatter that often times we are not even aware of.

Experts in brain research say, “If you want things to be different you have to do things on purpose.” See last week’s post: It only takes 18 seconds to change your brain.

Here are some questions to consider to identify what you mostly tell yourself with related posts:

1. Do you talk to yourself as if you were your best friend or worst enemy?

2. Do you criticize yourself when you eat something you enjoy that is not healthy?

3. Is it okay to not be perfect?

4. Are you consumed with worry and stress about the future or anger and resentment about the past?

5. Do you believe you really have a choice about what you do in any situation?

6. How do you define yourself?

7. Is it possible to really feel happy?

8. Are you following an old message that it’s safer to stuff your feelings or hide them than express them and feel them?

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
