WHEN
YOU CHANGE WHAT YOU SAY,
YOU
CHANGE THE WHOLE DAY
What
if someone were to tell you that you could get in
Control
of your day in just ten seconds? Would you believe
it?
It''s
entirely true that the process of editing your Self-Talk
"on
the fly" takes about ten seconds to do. But the effects of
that
change can turn around your entire day-and often, the
day
of everyone around you. As it turns out, positive Self-
Talk
is contagious!
o Use
turning your Self-Talk around as a direct motivational
tool
to help you control your attitude each day.
One
of the most important reasons for learning this
technique
is that it ends up being highly motivational-you
end
up being a better self-motivator. And every time you turn
your
Self-Talk around, you get better at it.
Another
advantage to this technique is that you get instant
results.
You get positive attention from other people. You
feel
better every time you make a new Self-Talk statement
clearly
and with conviction.
That''s
because when you create positive enthusiasm by the
way
you speak to yourself and to others, you also change the
chemicals
in your brain that make you feel better. And that''s
not
only good for your state of mind-it''s also good for your
success
rate.
Turn
your old Self-Talk around. Change it. Reword it,
transform
it, and watch the pictures it begins to creat~ven
thinking
about it being true in your life.
Using
this Self-Talk editing technique seldom takes longer
than
a few seconds. Like a lot of other people who have tried
it,
you''ll soon recognize that getting the job done as a
successful
distributor is not the major battle it could seem to
be.
It is a lot of little moments, the smallest skirmishes of
will
and self-control. If you want to succeed, you will.
Monitoring
your Self-Talk should greatly increase your
awareness
of the programs you have, and editing can help you
begin
to change the programs you want to get rid of. If you
want
to build success for yoUrselfin Amway, and in the rest
of
your life, begin now to change your programs every chance
you
get-as many times a day as it takes to be successful.
In
the next chapter, we''ll look at specific examples of Self-
Talk
that will help you build your new programs-and your
business.
