Oh man, are you ever dead on here. And I love Brennan’s comment.

Regarding writing (and getting things done) some marketer said something along the lines of, “The worst it will ever be is what it is NOW. Get it up there, post it, release it, and then fix it if you really have to.”

Just get it out there. Then focus on the good stuff and ignore the small stuff. Boy, sometimes that’s just hard to do. Takes lots of practice and we also have to learn to forgive ourselves when we slip up.

Thanks.

That’s a good technique Brennan!

So true, I have to constantly check myself for negative thoughts and talk, watched “The Secret” again for some motivation and you know what, life is just better when you are positive! Good article!

Yep! It’s really tricky to monitor those self-deprecating remarks.

Years ago, in Silva, I learned a technique for undoing negative self-talk: When you catch yourself saying something negative to yourself, whether silently or out loud, IMMEDIATELY say “Cancel! Cancel!” and then repeat a positive comment to replace the negative. It may seem a little silly at first, but you’d be amazed what a difference it makes.

After all, if we don’t monitor our self-talk, then who will?
