Here’s a secret to improving your self-confidence you can start doing right now!

The Worst Four Letter Word

When you talk to yourself, do you tend to say what you don’t want or what you do want? Our tendency is to say things like, “I don’t want to be so stressed anymore” or “I don’t want to be overweight anymore.” We choose those words instead of words like, “I want to be more calm” or “I want to be thinner and healthier.”

Most people are really good at saying what they don’t want instead of what they do want…and that causes you a lot of self-created stress and a lack of self-confidence.

When you change your words, you change your worth.

Listen to Yourself

Begin to listen to the words you choose when you talk to yourself. Most people don’t realize how much their own words are working against them, until they start paying attention and making different choices.

When you change your words, you change your worth.

Did you know that the subconscious mind does not recognize the word ‘don’t.’ So when you use it, you’re actually reminding yourself of something that you would rather not! (I know, weird, right?!?)
