Our subconscious believes what we tell it and if we tell ourselves what we can’t do more often than what we can do our whole self image can become very negative. On the other hand, if we choose to tell ourselves more often the things that we can do, this has a positive effect on how we see ourselves.
Every thought we have either creates new pathways in the brain or reinforces old ones, so that they become strong habits. Simply focusing on what we can do can be very motivating. If a problem pops up in our lives taking a moment to look at our options to see a way through will help. Try starting sentences with “I can…” rather than I can’t and I think you will develop more motivation and more confidence over time. Give it a try, I know you can.
