Positive Self Talk -

How you talk to yourself is more important than you can imagine. What you feel the world is withholding from you, you have the power to change it. Right now! Go to the mirror and acknowledge all you’ve done. Do it daily. Say things you’ve been waiting for someone to say. Start with, “I love you.” Or “I am beautiful.”


Jack Canfield (The Secret & Self Help Best Selling Author) spends time in the mirror acknowledging and encouraging himself, so why can’t you? You will find that becoming a better friend to yourself, you can be a better friend to the world.


How much negativity in put downs and let downs do you deal with?


How hard are you on yourself, hoping to get things right?


Well, positive self talk will shift your energy and inner dialog! You will strengthen that small voice of courage and self-esteem. 

The difference between who you are and where you’re at is what you’re telling yourself and what you believe. And a belief is just something you say over and over again.


You can use positive self talk with affirmation to create your perfect self.
 

Creating your perfect self:


Much like the list I have for my perfect man, I have one for my perfect self. I drew my list from my past experience of likes and dislikes from people. Funny thing is that’s what life truly is about; molding and sculpting yourself from all walks of life-to choose over and over what you want and what you don’t. Most focus too much on the dislikes and what they hate that they don’t see the deep underlying purpose.


I consistently and consciously take the good from the bad. It gives me much peace of mind. I then turn it into creating an even better outlook, so I can be aware of them now in my experiences.

All things exist here and now, just at your level of awareness, which is guided by your focus. Focus on your list of your new self and build an image that your subconscious must respond too.

Start with I am_______.


List positive characteristics & attributes of people you admire.


You will start to notice you all ready carry some but with all the negative not positive self talk, like a sun shine coming out of the clouds, it will now be easier to see. With positive self talk you can amplify your awareness by your focus & attention on it.


Positive self talk, self-image and self-esteem is also essential to success in all areas.

For people respond to how you carry yourself and how you carry yourself is from how you see yourself.

SWAG

SWAG

I have observed and learned in life that confidence is connected to success. Self-image, self-worth, self-esteem all tie into confidence—it's key.  We can all agree you don’t have to be the best looking,

best dressed, or best shape to be confident. I believe the term “SWAG” sums it up. It's how you carry and see yourself…it's what you project. You are not born with it, it's built. The foundation has to start within your mind. It's what you repeat to yourself on a daily basis or better yet what is NOT repeated.

To begin to build confidence aka "swag" I would start at being REAL with yourself.

Write down all the negative attributes you THINK you carry. Identify what you may feel you lack confidence in. I would then recommend accepting it for what it is worth because what you resist will persist. Last write the opposite of the negative to a positive and in the present tense. Own the “new” you! If repeated consistently to yourself it will create a shift in your mind and gradually you will walk tall and feel good.

Like the things you want in life, you should have a list of the “picture” perfect you. Qualities, attributes...etc. you intend to become. What is also a BIG plus is surrounding yourself with the right people that holds those qualities.

The media has defined a beautiful woman by her size, shape, hair style, cloths, skin pigment, and life-style.  Fashion is based on trends and trends can be in and out in a week.  So, as a woman in this time dealing with the media around me, I had to make some tough decisions about how I looked at myself and the many women in my world.  I had to make the choice to focus on style vs. trends, in fashion and when looking at body image.  

            My initial career choice was fashion design.  I love cloths—the way they make you look and feel.  With the right outfit on, you could feel like a million bucks.  Unfortunately, the opposite is also true.  If you don’t like your outfit, you may feel less than, ugly, or depressed. 

When working in the fashion industry, I saw trends come and go like the ebb and flow of the tides but there were always a few people who I looked at and would think, ‘Wow, they could wear that forever and look great no matter what.’ That’s when the idea of style vs. fashions and trends came into play. What if everyone played up their own unique style?  

This began the idea that everyone has a perfect shape as well.  There was no one hundred percent size two perfection and not all size fourteen/sixteen women were fat.  In fact, because of different bone structures, height, metabolism, and other genetic codes, I became fascinate with exploring the uniqueness that is beauty.  A woman could be any where from a size zero to a size twenty-four and be beautiful! If everyone celebrated their look, I think there would be happier people overall in the world.  The point is to look at your perfect you.  What is the healthiest lifestyle you can lead?

            Recently, I took notes on my own behavior to get a better handle on my own self image.  I called it “The Happy Experiment”.  This is something I encourage everyone to try and it can be modified for anyone.  I took a journal and started writing down the things that I needed in my life: food, vitamins, exercise, love, support, and so on.  I set-up a daily list of to-dos: write ten things I like about myself, read two inspirational quotes a day minimum and reading affirmation cards.  I realized I could not constantly depend on other people for my own happiness (other people’s support is just a bonus).  

So here I am everyday: exercising, reading quotes and affirmations, writing what I like about me and what I have learned is that this has helped my overall view of who I am.  

It truly has helped my own self image and when loving yourself, you suddenly have room for those around you.  

 

You have more understanding when looking at other people and where they are coming from.  In embracing your own uniqueness and beauty you are living up to your greatest self and are opening doors for other possibilities in life as well.  Try it out, love your body, focus on your own unique style, know that the image of beauty comes in many forms, and dream big.  Also, know that I am rooting for you all the way!
