New Year, New You,
New Thoughts
Last week, I spoke on changing your mindset. This week’s blog ties into that. If we want to change the mindset, we need to change some of the thoughts we have.
Let’s face it, we all have something about ourselves that we think negatively about. Maybe it’s our weight. Maybe it’s our look. Our style. Our hair.
Maybe we think we don’t deserve to go after something for some reason. Maybe we have the belief that we aren’t good enough for a job promotion or, in my case, being a successful author.
Maybe we think we don’t deserve that big, nice new home or new car or whatever it is we secretly wished we had all along.
Maybe…. maybe we need to stop all the “maybe” and realize that we are the ones stopping ourselves from moving forward.
If you don’t like your weight, lose it. Stop thinking about how much better you would feel and do what you need to lose the weight.
Cut your hair. Style your hair. Color your hair. Hair grows back. Take the leap and do something different with it.
Embrace your style. It was makes you uniquely you. Your style defines you. So, let your personality flow and be proud of your style.
I chased my dream to be a published author for a long time. I finally realized I was the only one holding myself back and I went for it. Today, I have published seven books. Now that being said, I still don’t know that my works are worthy of the best seller list or that I’ll ever be in the same ranks as Beverly Lewis or Janet Evanovich, but I don’t know if I don’t try to move myself forward.
Are you up for promotion or think you deserve one? Go after it. Stop accepting what you’re getting now if you think it’s time for it to increase.
And here’s another hard one for me. Stop thinking you don’t deserve things like a beautiful new home. You do!
The key to any of the rambling typed above is controlling your thought process when it comes to yourself and your self-perception. You need to believe in yourself. You need to tell yourself daily that you are beautiful because the Creator created you, took the time to design you exactly as you are. Embrace it. You need to tell yourself that you are capable of doing the job you have and then some. You need convince yourself the life-long dream you’ve had is worth chasing.
Change starts with you. Change your thoughts about yourself. Thank your Creator for creating you and allow him to help you see the value in yourself.
