An important motto that I live by is: Hoping is NOT a process. It was Anthony Robbins who I first heard that from and it hit me hard. Language is critical to action and could be working against you, perventing you from achieving your goals and objectives.
What is worse is that you may not even know that you are doing this to yourself.
Think about 'hoping' for a few minutes. What is it? What does it mean?
When you hope, you do not do anything. You just, well, hope - for the best perhaps.
Telling yourself that you are hoping for the best does not tell your body to move, act or achieve. That is where the problem lies.
Negativity Creates Conflict And In-action
Another group of words that you may be using often are negatively constructed words.
For example:
- I don't know how.
- I can't learn.
- I am too old.
- I am not fast enough.
- I don't have enough time.
- I am too slow
The way you speak, first to yourself, and then to others, may be the primary blocker that is preventing your from executing successfully.
Do a little experiment. If you want a child to close a door, say: "Don't leave the door open." I bet that the door will be left open.
However, if you say: "Remember to close the door." they will almost certainly close the door.
Language is a magnet. Language begins in the brain which controls all the neurons that tell your body what to DO. If you speak negatively to yourself, you are in fact preventing yourself from moving, doing and taking action.
Affirming your objectives is an excellent way to motivate yourself and improve your execution.

Setting my goals was real ok, getting the time right needed I had to work on ( and still working on) this training will help me a lot. Finding my way breaking down into little steps I finally got done. Was a journey to find my way to do it though, first used an online calendar, did not work for me, now I divide my daily time available in blocks of 30 min , with breaks of 5 min in between on paper ,hanging on my pc.
One thing learned from Jim Rohn (and his "student" Tony Robbins of which I am a huge fan too) is thinking and speaking in positive ways. It was(and is) also a pleasant surprise to hear from my colleagues at my day job that I changed for the better :-)
All the best,

Different topic, as we are both Introverts, but it applies still.
Our relationship with ourselves is critical for achievement.
If we do not that that we can and will - we don't and won't.
As simple as it sounds, it took me years to work through.
Thank you so very much for your detailed feedback.
Have a good day.
Cassi
