Your Self Mantra

Are you getting in the way of achieving your goals?  We can talk all day about how setting the right goals and staying accountable is super important (and of course, it is), but when everything really boils down, the only thing left standing there is you. So, what can we do about that?

The answer? Know that you can do it.

If you believe that you can accomplish your goals, then you certainly will. But having a strong self-mantra goes beyond setting goals.  It can be the foundation that allows you to build confidence.  Confidence leads to courage, and leads to success. This success could be personal, work related, or whatever else you might think of. This is a tried and true fact.  The book store is full of books based on this simple, but elusive concept.  I personally see it every day, in action.   My clients not only talk about how they loved losing weight having more energy, sleeping and eating better, but describe  how they are changing with the feeling of confidence from loving themselves more.

Here’s one of my secrets.  Everyone looks in the mirror at some point in their day. Our reflection stares back at us from glass doors, elevator walls, and sleeping computer screens - but it's best to do this idea when you aren’t in a crowd.  Say your self-mantra 3 times while looking yourself in the eyes. Self-doubt is easy, self-belief is challenging.

Make it short and make it powerful.  You are strong. You are your own force.  In both good times and bad, remember your statement.   Have one, have three, change it as you feel the need.  It is who you are and who you will be, for as long as you continue to remind yourself of it.
