Reprogram Your Thoughts to Deliver Self-Fulfilling Messages

Reprogram your self-talk. Erase your self-denying complaints. Never describe your behavior in self-demeaning ways. Give yourself a jolt each time you let self-denying assertions short-circuit your search to improve. As you eliminate self-defeating self-talk, replace it with goal-promoting
self-talk. Ask yourself questions. Brainstorm answers. Adopt attitudes and habits that advance you toward the life you would like to live. For example,
  • What are six ways that I can save more?
  • What are six ways I can cut spending?
  • What are four ways I can stop running up credit card bills and start paying them down?
  • What are four ways that I can work toward a $1 million net worth within 15 years?
  • How can I use real estate to help build wealth?
Ask questions that point to where you want to go. Invite solutions into your thoughts. With solutions in view, you motivate yourself to advance toward your goals. Determine how you must change. Create promises to yourself. Live those promises.
