What You Say Is What You Get How To Speak Your Way To Success
What you say is what you get, and if you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you
have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe you have the right stuff, that
you are able to pull it off.
You Have To Believe In Yourself
Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you
have what it takes - the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.
Ultimately, you must learn to control your self-talk, eliminate any negative and limiting beliefs, and
maintain a constant state of positive expectations.
Control Your Self-Talk. Researchers have found that the average person thinks as many as 50,000 thoughts
a day. Sadly, many of those thoughts are negative...I'm not management material... I'll never lose weight...
It doesn't matter what I do, nothing ever works out for me.
This Is What Psychologists Call Victim Language
Victim language actually keeps you in a victim state of mind. It is a form of self-hypnosis that lulls you
into a belief that you are unlovable and incompetent.
What you say is what you get, and in order to get what you want from life, you need to give up this
victim language and start talking to yourself like a winner... I can do it... I know there is a solution... I
am smart enough and strong enough to figure this out... Everything I eat helps me maintain my perfect body weight.
You Are Always Programming Your Subconscious Mind Your subconscious mind is like the crew of a ship. You are it's
captain. It is your job to give the crew orders. And when you do this, the crew takes everything you say literally.
The Crew (your Subconscious) Has No Sense Of Humor
It just blindly follows orders. When you say, "Everything I eat goes straight to my hips," the crew hears
that as an order: Take everything she eats, turn it into fat and put it on her hips.
On the other hand, if you say, "Everything I eat helps me maintain my perfect body weight," the crew will
begin to make that into reality by helping you make better food choices, exercise, and maintain the right
metabolism rate for you body.
This power of your subconscious mind is the reason you must become very vigilant and pay careful attention
to your spoken and internal statements.
Unfortunately, most people don't realize they are committing negative self-talk, which is why it is best
to enlist another person... your success partner... in monitoring each othe's speaking. You can have a
signal for interrupting each other when you use victim language.
Use Affirmations To Build Self-Confidence
One of the most powerful tools for building worthiness and self-confidence is the repetition of positive
statements until they become a natural part of the way you think.
These "affirmations" act to crowd out and replace the negative orders you have been sending your crew
(your subconscious mind) all these years. I suggest that you create a list of 10 to 20 statements that
affirm your belief in your worthiness and your ability to create the life of your dreams.
Of course, what you say is what you get, but what to believe is up to you. Here are some examples
of affirmations that have worked for others in the past:
I am worthy of love, joy and success.
I am smart and make wise choices.
I am loveable and capable.
I create anything I want.
I am able to solve any problem that comes my way.
I can handle anything that life hands me.
I have all the energy I need to do everything I want to do.
I am attracting all the right people into my life.
Believing in Yourself is an Attitude and a choice. It's an attitude you develop over time.
It's now your responsibility to take charge of your own self-concept and your beliefs.
It might help to know that the latest brain research now indicates that with enough positive self-talk and positive
visualization combined with the proper training, coaching, and practice, anyone can learn to do almost anything.
What you say is what you get, but you must choose to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to - anything
at all - because, in fact, you can!
