An interesting excerise for you...

Today I want to give you a few exercises to do which will help improve your self esteem and mindset.

Let's get straight to it!

Get a pen and some paper:

Ready?

First, write out all the limiting, negative beliefs you have about yourself.
Hint: start with I can't, I don't, I am too.., I don't have...etc. (You are really trying to get reasons why have low self esteem)

Second, write out compelling reasons why you must have more self esteem and self confidence. What would that mean to you? How would your life change? Try to get 100 reasons if you can.

Third, list 100 ways to boost your self esteem. What can you do to build your esteem and confidence?

Fourth, make a list of goals of things you want to achieve or steps you need to take and include deadlines to achieve them.

This exercise may take some time but it will be time well spent. It will help you by changing from a negative mindset focused on failure to a mindset determined to succeed.

If you find the above useful then you will certainly benefit from my e-book Self Esteem Secrets, or you can check out my website and find about how Life Coaching can help you.


Take care,

Look forward to 2009

Just like you I sometimes find it very difficult to be positive. The end of the year is a time when people look back over the last 12 months. The only point to looking back is to draw lessons and use them to improve your present.

For many people at this time of year, looking back means disappointment and the sense that time is passing and you still haven't achieved what you intended to. This negative mindset is responsible for so much depression at this time of year. Once again I have been reminded in my own life of the value of positive thinking...

I have just returned from a five day trip to the mountains where I started learning to snowboard. The first few days I felt tired and started to ache everywhere. My progress was very slow and I felt like giving up. I continued to read the secret which is a book I took with me on my holiday. The next time I went out I replaced my negative thinking with positive thinking and everything changed! I told myself that I was still young, that my muscles were strong and that I can do this. That day I managed to get the hang of snowboarding. The following day I told myself that I was going to be a huge success with my efforts to master this sport and that's exactly what happened. The tiredness left me and instead I was filled with energy and easily skated down the piste.

What I wish for you in 2009 is that you can find success through positive thinking. Please read some of the articles that I have written about how to stop thinking negatively:

Stop thinking the worst

The law of attraction

Negative thoughts are very very powerful and most of thoughts we have during the day happen automatically and subconsciously. It is therefore very difficult to change these to positive thoughts. What I suggest is to be aware of when you are having negative thoughts and don't stress out, either correct this to a positive or add two positive thoughts in order to cancel out the negative thought.

I wish you a prosperous, successful and happy new year!
