Step Two From Sabotage to Success: Self-Talk

Step two of the Six Steps From Sabotage to Success is: What You Say is What You Get.

Many of us sabotage ourselves out of fear and self-doubt that starts with a thought, idea or belief that we’ve picked up at some point in life. Most of the time this self-limiting thought or belief is not even true, but we believe it is because we’ve heard it or said it to ourselves many times.

One way to make changes in your thinking and eventually your self-defeating behavior, is repetition of new ideas. Affirmations are a positive start towards gearing up your mind to accept the new changes you want to make.

Below are some affirmations that can help you.

It requires repetition and reinforcement to make these new ideas a part of you. You can do this by writing your key affirmations on an index card and reading them every day, many times a day, by starting an affirmation journal or by listening to positive affirmation cassettes or CDs. Eventually the positives will sink in and you will see miracles happening in your life.

Affirmations to Combat Resistance:

“Growing and changing is exciting, even if I have to look at some painful things inside me in order to do it. When one door closes, another door opens. I know I can become more of who I am.”

“I am willing to drop old concepts when they no longer work for me. I am willing to honestly look at the way I do things and say, ‘I don’t want to do that anymore.’ I am willing to change.”

“I am free from the limitations of the past. I am free to go forward.”

“I am willing to release the pattern within me that is creating this condition.”

“I transform fear and anxiety into excitement and enthusiasm, I look forward to charting new ground.”
