Positive Affirmations & Positive Sayings

"What we say to ourselves has a tremendous impact on our lives."

Most people don't recognize that our self-talk determines how we live our life. Communication expert Bill Lampton says that if you go into an interview thinking self-defeating, negative thoughts, you will start believing the thoughts and will act accordingly, lowering your chances of getting hired.

On the other hand, immersing your mind in positive thoughts will translate into a more radiant outlook and confidence in yourself that just might land you the job. So, start thinking positive thoughts and see how it affects you today.

We all talk to someone that has the power to make us a success or a failure. This someone is closer than we think. This someone is ourselves.

We carry a conversation with ourselves all day long. This dialog inside our heads is called self-talk. Observe your self-talk. What percentage of it is positive? What percentage is negative? Changing your negative thoughts into positive ones will help you change into a more optimistic and successful person.

I found the chart helpful in this video and I liked the way Darryl Cross presented the material. He spoke intelligently without being judgmental. His thorough explanation gave a visual to use in order to analyze thought processes throughout the day.

The suggestion of writing down daily those thoughts which are negative and analyzing them and finally changing them to positive thought patterns may help to teach you how to change affirmations from negative to positive.

• Our thoughts control our emotions
• Our actions are impacted by our emotions which are activated by our thoughts.

The simple, straight forward approach to logically writing down the emotions and trigger, then analyzing the thoughts made sense. In this way, I felt a bridge could be found in which the negative could become the positive through using Darryl Cross's example.
