We all have personal mantras whether we realize it or not. A mantra is a statement or slogan repeated frequently.
Like an actor remembering their lines, the inner speech we repeat to ourselves becomes the monologue that we perform in the role of our lives.
We are what we say we are and we play how we practice.
How can we begin to speak words that match the results we seek? It's corny but simple: Simply say what you want, out loud, all the time and believe it. Many people ridicule the messengers who promote this idea.
Hate if you wanna but it is effective.

I am not the first to say it. This topic has been written about and promoted, heavily.
The thing is, we do it, anyway.
It's not like we are saying nothing about ourselves and our potential and now are being asked to start speaking to ourselves about what we want, all randomly.
No. We already say things to ourselves; about our expectations and desires. We just do not say the right things. We have a tendency to lean towards the negative and wade in the rivers of our own self-doubt.
"The right things" are those things that match what we claim are our goals, wishes and dream results. For example, I want to lose weight. How effective will my weight loss efforts be, if I constantly tell myself that I can't lose weight? Or that I'm too weak to stick to a new way of eating?
I must wake up, every day, say and believe that on that day, I will be successful in my healthy lifestyle efforts.Then and only then, will I begin to see and real change in -not only my attitude -but my actual behavior. My behavior impacts the outcome or the results I seek.
The same holds true for everyone. Really. I'm not kidding.
I didn't say it wouldn't feel weird, at first, because it will. So what? Do it anyway. I also didn't say that everything would change instantly.
Nope. It takes time (about 90 days) to really feeeeel different. The manifestation of things could happen - oh, whenever. It just depends on life. There's no magic pill to this but it will happen. We will realize, soon after changing our personal mantra, that we have changed.

Trust me.
It may take some time. I think its worth it, though. I mean what do we have to lose? What's the worst that can happen - things stay the same? Big deal. No big whoop. If things staying the same IS a big deal, though...? Shouldn't that tell you it's worth a shot?
