Another great week lies ahead of you in this all new year, full of potential!

For this week, I am challenging you to repeat a practice you might remember from last year, as a way to keep yourself inspired and positive in 2008…

Create a cheerleader on your shoulder!

Remember that one? Did you actually create a happy cheerleader and is she still there?? Especially in times of challenge, it is easy to let negativity take over, however as you probably know: this only creates more negativity. So it is really helpful if you are aware of your self talk and focus on keeping it positive.

You might have noticed that you have an internal conversation going on in your head almost all the time. A little voice that is chatting along in your head. You know, the one that right now says “what little voice…:) ?”. It is constantly making judgements, comments and remarks about yourself, others and situations. Often this internal conversation is negative of nature, doubting yourself and opportunities. Do you realize this voice has a lot of power over you and your life? So my advice is to..

Make a conscious effort to keep your internal dialogue
as positive as possible

It is worth spending some time on this. You see, the more positive your internal conversation, the more positive your feelings and thoughts. Positive thoughts and feelings attract more positive things to you, by virtue of the Law of Attraction!

So this week, pay attention to this little voice and make a conscious effort to keep the conversation as positive as possible. have some fun with this: imagine having an inspiring cheerleader on your left shoulder, saying positive, uplifting things that empower you and put everything and everybody in a positive light. On your other shoulder is a grumpy little gnome trying to keep you and others “small” by nagging about negative things. Try to notice who is speaking and hand over the microphone if necessary ….

My suggestion? Nurture the happy cheerleader, ignore the grumpy one!

Have a powerful week!
