A key source of leverage to successful goal setting is the monitoring of speech. Goals are often sabotaged by negative speech patterns .The “I could never statements”that are made to ourselves prevent the brain from focusing on the essential behaviors required for success. If you want to change behavior and provide psychic energy to your goals then substitute positive speech patterns.”I will find a way’,I am committed to these goals”I will develop the necessary skills and secure the essential resources.” Statements like this are critical to building momentum that provides and sustains goal supporting behaviors.
