This part of the process requires you to identify the goals that you wish to achieve. Once these are identified write any negative statement that is in the way of achievung that goal. An example of this would be if the goal is to learn a foreign language the negative statement might be ” I am not very good at learning a foreign language”or” I can’t learn another language because I am afraid of making mistakes.”these negative statements prevent your brain from focusing on the possibilities and actually gives your brain the message that this goal is really not a firm request. The brain only functions once the evidence is strong that the goal is more than a simple wish.

Work task: Write down every negative statement that is part of your reasons why the desired goal is not achieveable. Next to the statements in bold letters state that this is no longer true. I do not believe in this negative statement any longer.
