Talk positive to me

Talk POSITIVE to me 

There needs to be a better word than just ‘positive’ because this is so much deeper than just ‘being positive’.

Here’s the thing, if you want to improve, grow, change, feel good, you NEED to look at the way you speak to yourself. In every moment of everyday the way you talk to yourself matters so so SO much. I know it can seem cheesy and ridiculous but I am so serious when I say this. Your inner dialogue dictats the quality of your life. What you think becomes what you feel becomes your everyday life. 

If you are constantly talking down about yourself and your life how can you ever expect things to get better? Find the good in things now, don’t wait for happiness to come later. “I’ll be happy when ___” or “life will be better when ___” … get rid of these types of scenarios and find the good in what you have right now. When you project goodness and joy, it will come back to you. 

AND the more negativity you project the more negativity you will attract. Have you ever thought or said things like “of course that would happen to me”, “I never win anything”, “nothing ever goes my way”, “everything bad keeps happening to me”, “i'm just not lucky”? If this is what you put out into the world, of course it is what you are going to get back. Change your mindset and watch your life change. 

If you are struggling with your body image, instead of waiting to love yourself when you get to a certain goal, work on loving yourself RIGHT NOW while you work towards that goal. If one bad thing after another keeps happening to you, change your reaction. Maybe you really wanted to win a giveaway and you didn’t, instead of saying “of course I didn't win, I never win anything”, change this to “whoever won this needed it more than I do and what is right for me will come to me”. Get creative, get grateful, see the good wherever you possibly can. 

This is going to be harder in some moments than it is in others, but be conscious and notice your reaction, notice how you speak to yourself, notice your everyday dialogue. This isn't going to change overnight, it will take consciousness and hard work, especially if you are deep in the negative. You can change your thoughts, you can change your life. 

I challenge you to begin and/or end everyday writing down 3 things you are grateful for. It can be anything- food, a person, your bed, clothes, a job, a pair of pants buttoning, a pet. Little or big, it can be anything. Finding even the smallest things to be grateful for sets you up for great success and happiness.
