You Can Live Your Potential!

Actions to build positive self-talk inside your thinking brain.

Stop the negative:  Once negative self-talk is identified, learn to "park it" or stop it.  Saying, "park it," or visualising a big, red stop sign being there can halt negative thinking.

Replace with Positive:  Imagine that the mind is like a bucket and when it is filled to the top with positive thoughts, there is no room for negative self-talk.

You need to identify positive self-talk in advance and replace the negative thoughts with the previously identified positive ones.

* List five (5) positive things about you:

______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________


Tell yourself what you CAN do:  Focus on what you can do, not on what you cannot do.

Make a list of all the things you can do, e.g. ride a bike, play football, cook, etc.

Now make the list relevant to a particular part of your life, for example:

My list of what I CAN DO at work:

______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________


Don't judge yourself on whether you are perfect at the task or activity; just list what you can do.
