What stories are you telling yourself? Are these stories limiting you or driving you towards success? Most people are not even aware of the stories they tell themselves. These stories might have been instilled in us while growing up while we pick others as adults. Unfortunately, most of these stories are negative stories that limit our potential.

The first step to overcoming this negative self-talk is by being aware of it. Somebody might mention it to you or you might just listen to yourself and write down these stories. Then you need to acknowledge that you can control your thoughts. You can change how you talk to yourself. Thoughts and words have a really powerful impact on our lives. If you think of yourself as a successful person, then you are more likely to succeed.

You can reverse old stories and make new ones that will drive you forward. A good place to start with changing your thoughts is the two most common things that people tell themselves that are absolutely wrong: I can’t afford this and I don’t have time. These two statements and others should never come out of your mouth. There are many ways you can rephrase them.

Listen in to learn how these statements affect you and how you can rephrase them.
