A Life-Changing Procedure

For many years, everyday I wake up and just before I go to bed, I read a positive reinforcement statement created by one of the best personal life coaches on the planet, Zig Ziglar. Positive daily reinforcement is critical in overcoming the negative we are bombarded with on a daily basis. I hope this positive reinforcement statement is as helpful to you as it has been to me.

The eyes are the window to the soul. So, to be the person you are capable of becoming, just before you go to bed, stand in front of a mirror alone and in the first person, present tense, look yourself in the eye and repeat with passion and enthusiasm the four paragraphs below. Repeat the process every morning and every evening from this day forward. Within one week you will notice remarkable changes to your life. After thirty days at the procedure at the bottom.

"I, (insert your name), am an honest, intelligent, organized, responsible, committed teachable person who is sober, loyal, and clearly understand that regardless of who signs my paycheck I am self-employed. I am on optimistic, punctual, focused, dependable, persistent positive thinker with great self-control, and am an energetic and diligent team player and a hard worker who appreciated the opportunity my company and the free enterprise system offers me. I am thrifty with my resources and apply common sense to my daily tasks. I take honest pride in my competence, appearance and manners, and I am motivated to be and do my best so my healthy self-image will remain on solid ground. These are the qualities which enable me to manager myself and help give my employment security in a no job-security world.

"I, (insert your name), am a compassionate, respectful encourager who is considerate generous, gentle, patient, caring, sensitive personable, attentive, fun-loving person. I am a supportive, giving and forgiving, clean, kind, unselfish, affectionate, loving, family-orientated human being and I am a sincere and open-minded good listener and a good-finder who is trustworthy. These are the qualities which enable me to build good relationships with my associates, neighbors, mate and family."

"I, (insert your name), am a person of integrity, with the faith and wisdom to know what I should and the courage and convictions to follow through. I have the vision to manage myself and to lead others. I am authoritative, confident, and humbly grateful for the opportunity life offers me. I am fair, flexible, resourceful, creative, knowledgeable, decisive, and an extra-miler with a servant's attitude who communicates well with others. I am a consistent, pragmatic teacher with character and a finely-tuned sense of humor. I am an honorable person and balanced in my personal, family and business life, and have a passion for being, doing and learning more today so I can be, do and have more tomorrow."

"These are the qualities of the winner I was born to be and I am fully committed to developing these marvelous qualities with which I have been entrusted. Tonight I am going to sleep wonderfully well, I will dream powerful, positive dreams. I will awaken energized and refreshed; tomorrow is going to be magnificent and my future is unlimited. Recognizing, claiming and developing these qualities which I already have gives me a legitimate chance to be happier, healthier, more prosperous, more secure, have more friends, greater peace of mind, better family relationships and a legitimate hope the future will be even better."

(Repeat the process the next morning and close by saying) "These are the qualities of the winner I was born to be and I will develop and use these qualities to achieve my worthy objectives. Today is a brand new day and it is mine to use in a marvelously productive way."

After 30 days, add the next step:

Choose your strongest quality and the one you feel needs the most work. Example, strongest-honest. Needs most work-organized. On a separate 3x5 card, print "I, (insert your name), am a completely honest person and every I am getting better and better organized." Keep this 3x5 care handy and read it out loud at every opportunity for one week. Repeat the process with the second strongest quality and the second one which needs the most work. Do this until you've completed the entire list. Use this self-talk procedure as long as you want to get more of the thing's money will buy and all of the thing's money won't buy.

Note: Because of some painful experiences in the past (betrayal, abuse, etc.), there might be a word or two that brings back unpleasant memories (example: discipline). Eliminate the word or substitute another word.

Regards,

Joseph

Sounds like very good advice.

When I wrote my blog series on Think and Grow Rich here, Napoleon Hill made it very clear that if we do not state our goals, when we intend to achieve them and how we are going to do so with conviction twice every day, we WILL NOT achieve them.

I am not surprised that subsequent self development coaches like Zig reinforced this principle using their own recommendations. Good to know.

Thanks for bringing this up. I hope your readers follow what you recommend.

All the best to you.

You posted this message on members' profiles and blog posts

''Have you had a chance to check out my blog post today? If not, I invite you to at ....... (link to your blog post).'' See screenshot attached.

Such comments do not add value to the member's blog posts and can be considered to be spammy. Consider offering value first before sharing your link.

On the profile, someone is sharing challenges they have in their life and the last thing they would expect is a request to read a blog with no explanation of why it is helpful in solving their problems.

A statement like, ''l relate, a few years ago l was facing similar challenges as yours. Reading motivational books helped me a lot. l have shared a blog post about how the books helped me .......'' would help.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for the tip. My preference is to write my own affirmations and repeat them loud twice a day with conviction.

These affirmations by Zig Ziglar seem to cover every good quality of human nature including the kitchen sink that it appears very impersonal.

It may work for some individuals but doesn't appeal to me. I hope you don't mind my honesty.

I noticed that you received some spam notices by promoting your Blog post on other members profile page. Be careful about doing that. It is OK to communicate with other members on their blog page but in general terms. I didn't mind your communication at all. So just saying to spare you grief.

All the best to you.

I am glad you agree that repeating positive affirmations daily is beneficial. Regardless of whether a person uses what I posted or creates their own positive affirmations, repeating them multiple times daily is a good habit to develop and will improve how a person feels about themselves.

Ambassador? Congratulations.

Am kindly asking you to stop spamming people's feed and their WA profile spaces.

Am really starting to think this is Spam, why !?! You may ask!

You left me a comment on my WA space.

You left me a comment on my post.

You need quit this action, and soon. You're new member, am just giving you some guidance, that's all

Please follow up, thanks for your time.

Hi Joseph, a great post. I had to look up:
Hilary Hinton "Zig" Ziglar (November 6, 1926 – November 28, 2012) was an American author, salesman, and motivational speaker.
I know some people practice positive affirmations, and most of these people are happy and successful in their lives.
What you have done in your post is given a blueprint to whoever decides to use it to build up their self-esteem and confidence.
Nicely done. Thank you for the share.

Best wishes,
Michael
