My Self Help Solutions

I can hear you saying,But I am not responsible it someone Else’s fault or the economy or your boss so how can you blame me. First of all I am not blaming you for anything. So why is is this a success secret?

Because if you take 100% owner ship of where you are in life you have the abilty to change your life. If you are waiting for the economy to get better or a new boss you have surrendered any chance of you changing your life.

But if you take ownership of your life it gives you the power to change your life style or job or income.

So will you take ownership of your life.

First of all what is an affirmation. It is statement that you written down that you repeat or read daily. Do they work. In my life I always prepare the ground with them. I try to make them fit on a 3 by 5 index card.

Here are some rules that I have for making them.

1. Avoid negatives. Dont say No don’t, wont. Instead keep it positive.

2. Keep it present tense. Saying I am becoming smarter is better than I will.

3. Read them 3 times  a day or more. Many times my affirmations is the 1 st step I take on a life change. I prepare the ground. I might read them when I shave,cook,ride the bus

4. Make sure there is emotion involved. Add emotion and it will make the affirmation more powerful.

5. I focus on mine on a weekly basis. I focus very hard on try to make the affirmation the center of a change and then I rotate a new one in.

6. Focus on how your life will change if the affirmation comes true.

Any person who tackled life changes has heard the term Goals. Heck turn on the news and you hear it. So what is goal. I think many writers over complicate the process. Lets start with a defination.

A goal is  any out come that you want to happen in your life. It can be a possesstion type goal a carear goal a relationship goal. But a goal is not a vauge wish.

A wish might be I want more money in my life. So if you find a quarter your wish has been met.

A goal might be I want to make 100,000 dollars a year.

So whats the difference.

A wish is a vauge statement that cannot be measured. A goal is specific.

So lets get all the factors togother.

A goal is specific

A goal has a time frame. It should have a completion date. A wish is usually a someday type thing. Someday I will reach this

A goal is measurable.  A person that was not familiar with you can see  if you have reached your goal.

Lastly a goal is written down and you decide on a course of action to do it.

In another article I will describe that difference in time frames and why should have some from all the time frames available.
