What To Say When You Talk To Your Self

by Shad Helmstetter

I’m good at solving problems. I like challenges and I meet them head on. Problems are my teachers. They help me to learn and grow. Without them, I would be going nowhere. With them, I am moving forward in the direction of my own goals. There is no problem which I cannot conquer. I am strong in mind, body, and spirit. My will, my strength, and my determination are always greater than any problem I face. When I meet a new problem, I do not see the problem as my enemy. I know that finding the solution to the problem will move me forward in my own personal growth. Because I know that problems are a key ingredient in my spiritual and mental education and preparation, I recognize that all problems are important to me. I do not fear problems, I solve them. I do not ignore problems, I confront them. I do not avoid problems, I conquer them. I know that every problem holds within itself the keys to its own solution. Therefore, the better I understand the problem, the clearer I am able to see its solution. Having problems is not a problem for me. I am confident, self-assured, positive, and determined. I always know that I am going to overcome any problem I encounter––and I always do. I am good at breaking large obstacles down into smaller pieces that are easier to handle. And I never make any problem appear to be larger than it actually is. I never worry. I turn “worry time” into positive, constructive, “solution time.” I keep my mind alert and open to all solutions...
