Yesterday I addressed the question of negative self talk. Those repetitive negative statements block alternatives and prevent growth and goal achievement.. If you are constantly being bombarded with statements that deny new possibilities it is reasonable to follow those dictates. The first mandate is to be aware of the constant negative self talk but that is not sufficient in the goal setting process. The next step is to substitute those messages with positive self talk.: examples of this would be” I have the ability to learn another language” or”I have the skills and determination to find a meaning ful career or”I deserve a better relationship with my friend or loved ones.” Replacing the negative with the positive self talk reframes the mind.

Work task: Place positive self talk statements with the three goals you wish to achieve.
