Eliminate Your Inner Chatter and Get the Foundation for a Better Life
Copyright 2005 Glen Snethun
I was recently in Las Vegas on a business trip and thought,
'I wonder how these people got the idea that they couldn't
live a better life?'
Who told them the biggest thrill of life was sitting in
front of a slot machine all night? And that drinking was
the only way to feel good about themselves? And where did
they get the idea that menial labor is all they can do?
The answer is.THEY TOLD THEMSELVES! Think about it, we
are no different than those people in front of the slot
machines. We all tell ourselves what we can or can't do in
life. What we say to ourselves is the most limiting (or
empowering) factor in our life.
Here are a few ideas that will help you capitalize on your
inner chatter and make it work for you:
. Just say, "STOP!" - Every time a doubt enters your mind,
yell to yourself, "NO!" Don't just say it. Refuse to
listen to negativity anymore. Immediately think of another
thought that empowers and encourages you.
. Live outside your comfort zone - Force yourself to do
something that you don't want to do. Something a little
scary, something you're not sure you can do, something that
puts butterflies in your stomach. Do little things at
first, start slowly and work your way toward more
substantial changes in your life. Prove to yourself how
capable you really are.
. Give yourself credit - When you do venture out of your
comfort zone, give yourself a pat on the back! Make sure to
acknowledge what you accomplished.
. Focus on the wonderful things in your life - Too often we
only see the negative things in our life. We tend to focus
on our past failures and mistakes. Everyone has something
in their life to be proud of. Find that one thing and then
another and another and another. If you have trouble
getting started, ask a friend what they think of your life.
You might be totally shocked about what a great life they
see you leading!
. Don't let those around you influence you in any negative
way - misery loves company and people around you might be
desperate to keep you as their company. If the people
around you aren't encouraging and supportive, I suggest to
you that they are not really your friends and it might be
time to part ways. Whoever said change was easy?
We all live with that little voice in our head. Whether
you're successful or struggling, we all have the voice. The
trick is to have the "voice" on your side. Train your mind
to be your cheerleader and not your nemesis.
If you have trouble stopping the negative thoughts at
first, just refuse to listen. Keep stepping out of your
comfort zone until your "voice" has to admit that you are
capable of accomplishing anything you desire and
establishing the foundation for a better life!
