<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>You have been embedding negative and\/or positive self talk patterns into the deepest parts of your mind since early childhood.\u00a0 Those self-talk patterns have take hold and have deeply affected you, so much so that you are what you say<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Because you are what you say,<\/em> and because positive self talk has the power to increase self-confidence, reduce stress and make your life infinitely more enjoyable, sending ripples of happiness throughout your world, I encourage you to get hip to your self-talk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get Hip to Your Self Talk. \u00a0<\/strong>
\nIs your self-talk primarily positive, or negative?\u00a0 Are you sure?\u00a0 Here follow a few strategies that can help you become more aware of your inner dialogue.<\/p>\n

Write It.<\/strong>\u00a0 At night and in the morning, jot dot a general summary of your thoughts.\u00a0 Today is; today will be; today was …\u00a0 Don’t judge it; just let it rip and then read it.<\/p>\n

Stop It.<\/strong>\u00a0 It’s as easy as that!\u00a0 When you hear yourself saying something negative … STOP yourself in your tracks by saying “Stop!”\u00a0 It’s more powerful to say it aloud.<\/p>\n

Snap It.<\/strong>\u00a0 I’ve heard that some people wear a rubber band around their wrist, and when they hear themselves saying something negative, they snap it!\u00a0 I don’t know how I feel about that (ouch!), but if you are really deep into negativity, you might want to snap it!<\/p>\n

Neutralize It.<\/strong>\u00a0 When you catch yourself saying something negative, turn it around. Instead of “I can’t do it,” say “I don’t now how.”\u00a0 “Instead of “I’m in pain,” say, “I am experiencing discomfort.” Instead of “today was an awful day,” say, “today was trying and the best part of it was _____.”\u00a0 No matter how bad, there’s still a best.<\/p>\n

Positive self-talk has a positive effect on permanent fat removal!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing,<\/em><\/p>\n
