Have you ever thought about that question? Have you ever thought about what it is you actually say to yourself? If not, it might be a good idea to start.

Do you realize that what you say to yourself has a profound effect on the outcome of your actions? I’ll even go as far to say that what you say to yourself determines what you achieve in life and how far you go in your career and your relationships.

You don’t believe it? Well consider this: Leading psychologists tell us that our minds are like “mental computers” and what we put into them is ultimately what comes out. They tell us that our “self-talk” , as it has come to be known in the research and development arena, creates highways in our brains. The more we use specific phrases or tell our minds something we believe about ourselves (i.e.; I’m fat, I’m ugly, I’ll never succeed, etc.), the deeper ingrained those highways become.

In order to change them there is only one way to get rid of them – you have to replace them with new phrases that will bring you closer to what you want to accomplish (i.e.; I’m in great shape, I’m beautiful on the inside and on the outside, I’m a winner, etc.).

And, if it’s true that your mind can not tell the difference between a real experience and an imagined one, and research proves this to be correct, then no matter what you put into your mind is perceived as real. So if you spend hours in front of the TV, newspapers, computer, trashy magazines and books, your mind considers them all as real experiences that you have either witnessed or partaken in.

Now the mind is a wonderful thing because then it goes to work to bring those experiences to reality. Are you beginning to see the process?

“Then how do I change this?” you may ask. It all starts with changing what you put in. And when you start to do that, you will see dramatic changes in your life.

I believe in you!
