Someone can give you a saw, a screwdriver, and a hammer, but they will not make you a carpenter. In order for you to become a carpenter, you have to use the tools. You have to take responsibility for your life, because if you don’t, somebody else will.
1. Remember to breathe.
If you consciously remember to breathe a few times throughout the day, you will be commanding your mind to relax. And a relaxed mind is an open mind. It will also develop your discipline, which leads to even more self-mastery.
2. Watch for self-criticism.
If you simply begin to watch your own self-talk, you’ll begin to recognize that self-critical voice when it kicks in. Change your self-talk and you’ll be on a fast track to a more positive and empowered relationship with yourself and the world around you.
3. Start your day right.
Begin every day by saying to yourself, “Every day, in every single way, I am feeling happier, more confident, more positive, and more worthwhile in the world.” Saying this simple statement every morning will begin to create a set of pathways in your mind that will begin to manifest that statement and bring it into your life.
4. Speak in positives.
Remember that your sub-conscious mind does not process negatives, so when you’re speaking to it, always speak in positives. For example, avoid saying “I am not self-critical anymore.” Your mind will delete the “not” and process the rest, giving you more of what you don’t want. Instead, state the positive. For example, “I am more self-accepting than ever before!”
5. Embrace the new!
Opening up to new ideas, learning, experiences, and understanding is very empowering. It also opens you to abundance. Welcome new learning and your mind will love you for it!
