Switch it Up!
Have you ever stopped and observed how you speak, not only to others but more importantly to yourself. I have found that nothing kills a great idea faster than our own self-talk. Let me give you an example, you have this great idea for a new service that could make life easier for people and as you develop the idea in your head it begins to take off, you can see people using and praising the service all the while you are making a good living providing a useful service and enjoying your true calling. Then along comes your self-talk aka Mr./Ms. ego and begins to tell you that its a bad idea and it will never fly and bingo, dream over. I suggest you take control of your thoughts back and when you notice the negative self-talk begin, stop and observe but don't feed into it instead allow the thought to be. Once you have stopped it from growing begin to slowly reverse it by adding positive fuel, to use the above example go back to the fact that many people can benefit from said service their lives will be improved and they will be genuinely appreciative of you and your work. That's what I refer to as "switching it up" and many of my clients have used this one technique to go from "we're doomed" to "anything is possible" in short order and with vigilance it will become second nature. So be patient with yourself and just pay attention, you will be amazed at the results.
Try this: The next time you are in conversation with someone and they are being negative about something or someone, intentionally begin stating the positive attributes of what they are speaking of and observe as their tone and words move in a positive direction. It's a very simple strategy and amazingly powerful.
To Your Success,
Mike
