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.
