Self-Talk – Every Thought And Word Has Power

Positive Self-Talk
Is Your Secret Tool For Success.Do you know that every cell in your body is affected by every thought you have ... every word you say to yourself?
.Whether or not the Self-Talk you engage in is good or bad, it affects what you believe, the attitudes and feelings you hold, the actions you take, and the results you produce.
.A positive pattern of Self-Talk is one of the strongest, most effective components of personal growth and self-management. When you take the time to consider what you’re about to say (and its potential impact), it is important to understand that you are imprinting those very words as “the gospel” on your subconscious mind -- where habits are strongly embedded.
.
For some perspective on how you talk to yourself, ask these questions and see how you immediately respond:.• Do you mentally berate yourself when you make a mistake?
• Do I accept what you say when it is negative?
• Do I really know when your outlook needs a tune up?
• Do I skip the solution when you suspect a problem?
• Do I identify why an idea can't work before you recognize why it can?
• Do I struggle through projects when others breeze through them?
• Do I disparage or discredit your feelings?
• Do I attempt positive, action-oriented goals, yet they evaporate?
• Do I know how to effectively implement positive, lasting change?
.Learn how to properly feed your brain with right thoughts and words, and you will discover a powerful method for positively impacting your life forever.
.
Here are 5 reasons that positive Self-Talk actually works:.1. The positive and effective use of Self-Talk, silently or aloud, can dramatically impact the subconscious mind for lasting change.
.2. You actually activate healthy, productive chemicals and electrical responses in the brain that spontaneously work for you … instead of against you.
.
3. Positive Self-Talk gives you the essential, action-focused means to make the changes you want and need … even if you have not been able to accomplish that in the past.
.
4. You learn a practical, easy way to live your life by active intent … rather than passive acceptance.
.
5. You strengthen your will, beef up your success-oriented self-concept, and gain deep-rooted self-assurance.
.
For practically every habit you want to change, you can create a better, more productive Self-Talk that will advance desired change and results.

The Responsibility Factor For Success

Are Your Actions Mostly
Responsible Or Irresponsible?
.

The answer to the question "are your actions mostly responsible or irresponsible?” can actually be quite revealing. And the right answer is a serious one if your intention is to experience personal and career success.
.When you commit to a project or task, do you believe it is important to follow through until it is properly completed? Or, does your accountability only last as long as you feel the task is fun or new?
.If the responsibility you take on only seems to work until the initial excitement wears off, it is a pretty safe bet you have a habit of eventually being irresponsible with most tasks. And, if that’s true, that behavior often bleeds over to your interaction with people. You can consider this irresponsibility as a red flag that your actions are simply not going to lead to long-term successful outcomes. That is, unless you truly decide to change your behavior when it comes to fulfilling responsibility.
.
The person who sees commitment as a responsibility to complete a task, even when confronted with obstacles, certainly has a greater likelihood of experiencing successful results. This individual understands what it means to be accountable for their actions.
.
The difference between acting responsibly and being irresponsible usually comes down to a person’s understanding of commitment and adaptability.
.Where do you fit in with the following definitions?
.Commitment:
a pledge or promise to do something (for oneself or for others)
.
Adaptable:
able to adjust oneself to new or changed circumstances
.
Dependable:
that can be depended on; trustworthy; reliable.Responsible:
involving accountability, obligation, or duties.Irresponsible:
lacking a sense of responsibility; unreliable.If you are at a crossroads about what responsibility means to you, carefully consider the results you ultimately want to achieve. The actions you take are observed by people who can support you if they feel you are worthy of their time and effort. You do not live in a vacuum. In other words, people who gain the success they want generally do not accomplish it alone.
.Also, there can be a strong connection with self-esteem and honestly being a responsible person. Do you want to be the kind of person that you can depend on when tasks need to be done? Do you want others to see you as being dependable? If not, your journey toward success will be a constant struggle.
