You can make a choice.
Tell that little voice to cease and desist with those negative thoughts.
Introduce positive self-talk into your life today!

I HEAR YA!!!!!! Just spinning things in a positive light helps me so much through self deprecating times. And it is true what they say, your mind does not know the difference between the truth, or non-truth, so, if you just tell yourself, that "yes, I can do this, I am capable,etc..." your mind will beleive you, and your body will follow.

What is it they say?

Watch your thoughts, your thoughts become words,

Watch your words, your words become actions,

Watch your actions, your actions become habits,

Watch your habits, your habits become your destiny!!!



Thanks for the reminder.

What a great reminder to share with everyone! Isn't amazing we can tell ourselves something negative and we're "ok" with it but when we tell ourselves something positive we aren't too sure whether or not to believe it. A friend of my who is a school counselor says that whatever you feed your brain, you will believe it. Positve or negative. Your brain can not tell the difference. So think of your words as your tape recorder for you mind. What are you telling yourself? Is it positive? Does it bring you peace and joy? You have the power to decide. CHOOSE YOU today!

Okay ladies, this totally reminds me of the skit from Saturday Night Live:


"I'm good enough, I'm funny enough, and gosharnit, people like me!"
