Encouraging words
Imagine how great it would be to have someone providing you
with a constant supply of encouragement. When you get in the
habit of encouraging yourself, that is exactly what you can
have.
All day long, you are thinking and saying things to
yourself. You have the power to choose precisely what those
thoughts and those words will be.
Choose to make them positive, uplifting, and encouraging.
Make good use of the thousands of opportunities you get each
day to provide yourself with support and direction.
When you catch yourself mentally beating up on yourself,
decide to stop such destructive behavior right then and
there. Instead, give yourself a few words of real, sincere
encouragement and notice how much more energized and
effective you immediately feel.
In addition, get in the habit of offering encouragement to
others whenever you get the chance. That will make you more
likely to send even more encouragement in your own
direction.
During each waking moment, you are constantly thinking or
talking to yourself or others. Choose to use all that
dialogue to move yourself and your world in a positive
direction.
