Many of us have ambitions to do certain things, big dreams, or even medium sized dreams, but there is often a little voice inside out heads that whispers discouraging words. Suggesting that we are not qualified enough, we are not clever enough or that we will likely fail so what is the point in trying. Learning to control our inner dialogue is one of the most important things we can do, because our brains have evolved to talk us out of things that could be dangerous or life threatening and in our modern day world the brain still reacts in the same way to any bit of anxiety we have. Recognising when our primitive brains are hijacking our decision making abilities is the first step. Then we need to engage in positive self talk; “I am capable”, “I am courageous”, “I will achieve my ambitions one step at a time.” Thirdly we have to take positive daily actions towards completing our ambitions.
However, before we get started on talking ourselves into doing any old thing that makes us feel anxious, we first have to know ourselves really well, this is part of what I call the Foundation in the Fullfilment Framework. We need to know if an ambition is true to our core values and beliefs, because if it is not it will not bring the desired happiness or success if we achieve. We have to know ourselves and then control ourselves to achieve our true ambitions.
