You can become happier and more positive with practice make
life better
When you are in control of
yourself you will:
-
Gain balance and focus in
life
-
Cope with new challenges
as they come
-
Improve your health
-
Affect your personal
destiny and fortune
-
Keep power and control
-
Retain a positive self
image
-
Radiate confidence
Building self-confidence and
assertiveness is probably a lot easier
than you think. Know what you want and
where you want to be. Have your goals
mapped out. Understand that it takes
time to move forward, step by step. Have
your plan and make yourself follow the
steps.
Visualize your goals and let that end
result help you stay in control. I often
have to remind myself that a piece of
cake is not worth another 45 minutes on
the treadmill! And I do not want to be
another day behind on my goals.
Remember “Don’t sweat the small stuff!”
If you do have a bad moment, just let it
pass and get right back on track.
Willpower
Learn to make appropriate decisions and
respond to stressful situations in ways
that will be more likely to have a
positive outcome. Feeling mad and sad at
yourself for eating a big piece of cake
is not a positive outcome. Having the
willpower to say no and walking away
with your head held high, because you
had the power, is certainly a positive
outcome!! I tell my clients that each
time they stand firm and make the right
choice, it gets easier and more
empowering. You learn quickly; after a
few times you know that you can do it
and it feels great!!! |
