Overcoming Negatives With The Positive's

Using Positive Self-Talk to Conquer Any Goal Do you feel like you are always talking yourself out of success? As soon as you start to set goals for yourself, do you suddenly have nagging thoughts about how you aren't up to the task or how you simply aren't qualified to carry it through? If you have ever experienced either situation, you need to change the way you respond to your inner dialogue. Instead of obeying your negative commands, you can use positive self-talk to counter the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts. Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-Talk Are you initially filled with excitement when you first set goals for yourself? Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started? It can be difficult to make the most of your life when you are constantly talking yourself out of being a success. It can be frustrating and discouraging to have these thoughts constantly plaguing you. Many of us, in fact, don't even realize we have them! All we know is that we don't have the confidence to stick to our plans and reach our goals. But there's another way! Positive self-talk is an effective way to set goals and ensure that you stick to them, even if you have never been able to do this before. The way this works is that you decide what goal is important to you, and then you plan the logistics of how you are going to attain this goal. When self-doubt starts kicking in, you will respond with affirmations that prove your success without surrendering to the negative pressure. Since you're reading this article, it's clear that you're no quitter and you're certainly not a failure, so start believing in yourself! Re-Programming Your Mind Affirmations are essentially positive statements that re-program your mind for the positive. The moment you have a self-defeating thought you'd be able to counter the negative with a motivating statement. An example of a positive affirmation is: "I am worthy of great success," or "I see myself in the winner's circle." What this does is replace negativity with thoughts that will help you move toward your goals instead of further away from them. Positive self-talk is easier to implement than you might think. You may not be aware of the severity of the negative dialogue currently within your mind. However, once you begin with positive self-talk, you will suddenly realize that you are self-sabotaging the goals you set for yourself from the minute that you make them. This process can open your eyes to exactly how much this inner conversation has been interfering with your life. You'll feel hopeful that you can now set goals and surpass them. Through positive self-talk you will be able easily set long and short-term goals for yourself. And when you use affirmations, you'll have accessible tools to help you push yourself further than ever before. Learning to quiet negativity with positive thoughts is a great move toward setting and attaining future goals with ease. Pastor Brian Smith http://freshstartsolutions.webs.com

Blog of Introduction

I would like to take this time to welcome you to Fresh Start's Blog.  Over a period of time there will be pertinent information and idea's that you will find of interest, help, and guidance.  My name is Pastor Brian Smith.  I am a pastor, life coach, and christian counselor and I am here to help you through life's situations and problems.
I am here to work with you as a coach.  I m not a problem solver in the since I give you answers but I work with you to find the answers that WILL work for you.  Sometimes we can not see the path we need to go for all the tree's and vegetation in the forrest.  With a coach, you have an extra set of eye's to help you see and follow the path.  So many times we get lost along the way and that is part of human nature.  It is said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
If you are interested in finding more out the first session is absolutely free.  In that session we will find out the basics about yourself, how happy you are in your life, and if you could change 1 thing in your life, just what that would be.  If you want to go further and start to make changes that will be great.  If you can walk away with a new perspective in life with the 1 session that will be great too.
You can't eat an elephant in one bite and most can't change their life in one bite.  It takes a life time to get where we are and for most it takes time to change.  Doing it ourselves rarely work.  New Years Resolutions rarely work, if they did Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and other diet business's would fail, yet their membership always increases after January 1 as people want to loose weight and realize they need help.
If this seems of interest to you go to http://freshstartsolutions.webs.com and check out the site.  Sign up and you will be receiving information, emails, products, and newsletters to help you.  Come back here often, as this is a general introduction, but we will become quite specific in future blogs!
God Bless & Have a Great Day
