At different points duringrepparttar day, work on your self-talk. Cancel negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts about yourself.

There are many good free resources onrepparttar 101747 Internet. Here is one inspirational site: http://www.unityonline.org/read_daily_dailyword.htm . SelfGrowth.com is another good one, www.selfgrowth.com, and you’ll find inspirational affirmations here: http://www.susandunn.cc/inspirational_quotations.htm .

You would also benefit from subscribing to a good eZine. I have a nice informational and inspirational one, and there are others. Look up “free eZines” on a search engine.

Whatever you do, avoidrepparttar 101748 “victim” stance, i.e., believing that you’re “helpless and hopeless.” There’s an affirmation you can use: “I am able to help myself and I have hope.” Set small goals, take baby steps and look at this as a new, long-term, exciting project.

Work on learning optimism. I have a course on this, and there are other resources onrepparttar 101749 Internet. It’s a state-of-mind that you can learn that increases your chance of success and happiness.

In Emotional Intelligence, we recommend solution-focused problem-solving, not emotional-based problem-solving. Just as in physics, two objects can’t occupyrepparttar 101750 same space, so your mind can’t hold both negative and positive thoughts atrepparttar 101751 same time.

When you find yourself getting negative, “cancel” and put something positive in its place. In other words, distract yourself while you take action to remedy things. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Give yourself incremental learning goals, and reward yourself copiously for each thing you do that takes you further toward your goal.

I researched, read others articles, and tossed and turned for two nights sweating over my delima. Finally,. I decided not to write about 'these 10 steps to success' , " I amrepparttar knig ofrepparttar 101746 hill because..." or "Follow these tips and millions will flock to your website!" and quit making it so hard.

The answers to these questions never did come to me and I'm sorry to say I have no "new amazing product to sell you that will give you all ofrepparttar 101747 answers torepparttar 101748 universe" only these few simple thoughts:
