-Go ahead and try out some new behaviors. Act “as if” you already had qualities you’re aspiring to. Change behavior and belief will follow.
-Mentally refute ads or commercials that make you feel “less than.” Don’t buy into their Hollywood madness.
-Congratulate yourself as wholeheartedly as you would a friend on your progress.
These psychological treats are as crucial to our health and well-being as food is to our bodies. Just as we would suffer serious and noticeable effects after not eating for several days, our spirits languish just as much when we fail to nourish them properly.
Sadly, we don’t seem to notice it as much because our spirits have gotten used to living in a state of deprivation. Or maybe not. Prozac, anyone? (Sorry, let’s not even go there.)
So how healthy is YOUR self-image? Are you mentally prepared to handle success you seek? Can you see yourself comfortably enjoying goals that you are striving for?
If not, it’s time to take action. Action, action, and more action. Naturally, major changes will not occur with first few attempts. It is our repeated, consistent efforts that will create permanent changes that we are after.
I know that you know this. I also know that sometimes you need someone else to cheer you on. Well, here I am. Keep priming that pump, Honey! Attaboy! You go, Girl! If you’re reading this article, this cheer is for you. Hooray!!!
