Disable the inner critic with a Positive Inventory

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

As 2011 winds down we are apt to think of all the things left unfulfilled, unaccomplished or unattained. Then the inner critic grabs hold and uses these things to berate, belittle or bewilder ourselves.

An effective way to disable the critic is to spend the last few days of 2011 and take a Positive Inventory of ourselves. Focus on the things fulfilled, accomplished and attained and use these things, however small they may seem, as building blocks for the New Year.

Then make the decision to continue to build upon those with firm conviction and commitment.
The right use of Self Power is ACTION.

Affirm:
Today I take a Positive Inventory of myself so that I may take Positive Action for Positive Change for the New Year!

Have a Positive Focus Friday!

Attitude Adjustment

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

What you resist shall persist. Reality IS reality and trying to force a change in your reality creates chaos for you. Rather, change the way you look at your reality, then your whole perception changes and you may just find something that actually can be changed for the better.

Affirm:
Today my reality works better for me when I change the things that I can change, like my attitude towards my reality.

Have a new view Thursday!

Are you a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... person?

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Do you think you are a Yes I Can! or a "Yeah But..." person? Challenge yourself to find out. Take an empty jar, box or gift bag and on one side put "Yes I Can! and on the other side put "Yeah But...." Keep a small notepad next to it. Whenever you make an excuse or say Yeah but.... jot it on a note and place it in the container. Do the same for every Yes I Can! At the end of the day take a look and see. You could even throw a little twist into this by seeing if you hang around or interact with more Yes I Can! or Yeah But... people. Simply put the letter Y (for YES I can) on a slip and the letters YB (for Yeah But..), putting the initials of the people next to the letters is optional.
The main goal here is to bring into your awareness the difference between a Yes I Can! or Yeah But...energy and attitude.

Truth is whether you are, or hang around, a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... person defines your belief in the Succees or Failure of You!

Affirm:
     I pay attention to whether today is a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... day.

Have a Yes I Can change Monday!

Think a better life story

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Your thoughts create a story line and your life follows the script. If you are unhappy about any area of your life just examine how you have been thinking about it. Then ask yourself if you keep thinking the same way, the same thoughts will you really have a chance of feeling better, happier?
Notice that you feel better when you think better thoughts. The truth is your Life will change when your thinking about it changes.

Affirm:
    Today I Think a better story line so my Life line can follow the script into a better way of Living!

Have a Mindful Thinking Monday!
