Be Your Own Cheerleader
Sometimes we need to be our own cheerleader. Mostly, it amounts to positive self-talk, and eliminating those self-doubting thoughts. Or maybe no one else seems to be encouraging us right now, so we need our own reinforcement.
Remembering that our thoughts are self-fulfilling prophesies, it helps to clean up our minds, telling ourselves only those statements that predict our success and abilities. For me, that is telling myself that I can get even slimmer, that since I have been successfully maintaining for years, I can really manage this aspect of my life.
I can especially do it for all 100 days.
I am learning even more good habits.
I'm using a great plan that is sustainable.
I can be inspired by the accomplishments of others.
I can do it because I can do anything I set my mind to.
