Does positive self-talk make a difference in one's life? I think it does. 

Lately I've been examining my own life because it's not panning out like I'd like it to. I've had some breakthroughs over the past 10 years but I'm looking for another one.

I always want my life to be progressing. I want my mind to be expanding and my knowledge to be growing.  But as the saying goes, want in one hand, sh*t in the other and see which one fills up faster.

We can't just want. We must decide, plan and take action. But let's say that we have all that in the right order and still life seems to have stopped moving forward.

So now let's examine this quote from Brian Tracy.

"Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true. "Brian Tracy

Positive self-talk is a major deal 

This is a really great quote from Brian. And if we become aware of the things that we constantly say about ourselves we just might uncover something really valuable.

We might discover that we have self-limiting beliefs that are unconsciously holding us back from really accomplishing great things in our life.

That's exactly what I discovered about my own life in the last couple of weeks. I've accomplished lots of great things but I never upgraded the image I have of myself. I've never taking the time to envision what my next steps will be.

But improvement follows awareness. Now that I know what's lacking in my life to take me to the next level, I can get busy fixing it. But we can't fix what we don't know is broken.

So if you can become consciously aware of what you're saying and thinking about yourself on a consistent basis you will begin to see why it is that you are where you are and why you're doing what you're doing.

If you're in a great rewarding place that keeps moving forward in a positive direction, then you have positive self-talk and you say and think great things about yourself.  Congratulations, that's a huge accomplishment all by itself.

But if you're not where you want to be or if you're not becoming the person you want to become, then you need to do three things.

First - You need to become aware of your self-talk.  Do you pump yourself up or tear yourself down? Do you acknowledge your accomplishments or blow them off like they mean nothing?

Second - You need to change your self-talk from negative to positive. If you don't know what to say at first then start by repeating affirmations.  Affirmations are a good way to get into the habit of speaking praise over yourself.

Third - You need to acknowledge what's working and what's not. Then you must make adjustments according to what results you're after.  You can't say and do one thing and expect something totally different to happen.

Please don't blow off this advice as too simple or too basic to make any real changes in your life. If your life isn't working then you're not telling yourself the right things.

You are the only one who can hold yourself back. Many of us like to blame the people we're around or the situation we're in but it's not true and if you don't change it, it's just going to keep you stuck right where you're at.

I like to blame my lack of progress on my family life. I like to say that I don't have time to take my writing or my website to the next level because I'm raising a family. But that's not really true. I could improve my writing or my website if I told myself that I could.

Sounds simple I know but it works.

So give it a try, do this for at least 21 days and you'll be able to move forward and make progress in your life even if you've been stuck for years.
