Positive Intentions Week 2

Where intention goes, energy flows! Positive Intentions is your 8-week plan to boost self-love, spiritual Zen, and energetic output. Check in each week for an uplifting task, act, or exercise (no sweating required) to clear your mind-space, sharpen your inner-focus, and create new rituals for self-betterment. 

Positive Self-Talk

Rise and shine! Start your day on a high note by vocalizing your inner-voice. Each day this week, before you begin your daily routine (but first, coffee), we challenge you to engage in positive self-talk. Sounds cray cray? You’d be surprised of the power of positive self-talk and what kind of revelations you’ll uncover just by conversing with, well, yourself.

What is positive self-talk? The benefits of positive self-talk include boosted optimism, help with compartmentalizing feelings, and assists with problem-solving. Not to mention, studies show a whole slew of health benefits such as better physical health, less stress, and reduced pain.  

How to positive self-talk: Before you roll out of bed, in the mirror, or in the car - there’s no right or wrong way to engage in positive self-talk activities. It’s best to be in a quiet space where you can literally hear yourself think and not have to worry about someone overhearing you. Reciting positive self-talk quotes is an easy way to boost your optimism and mood.

Here are a few positive self-talk examples to get you started: 

Self talk for stress relief:

• I am going to have a great day! I will not stress about the things I cannot control. I got this! 
• I will not let my thoughts control my actions or mood. Stress is not part of my agenda.

We all feel stress. It's normal. But today, stress has no home in your mind space. Did you know that 85% of the things people worry about never happen? Put that into perspective!

Self talk for self-empowerment:

• I am beautiful, worthy, and creative. Negative vibes can move to the side! My energy is magnetic, and today I’ll attract positivity.
• I am writing my own story. I am the author of my destiny.

You don't need anyone else to dictate your happily ever after. Your story belongs to you. Your destiny is in your own hands. Bending over backwards or putting your needs second for the sake of someone else's happiness is not a chapter in your book.

Self talk for confidence boosting:

• I am prepared for this meeting. Even though I’m feeling a bit nervous, I know I’m going to crush it and impress my boss. I got this!  
• I am capable and worthy, and no one can make me feel otherwise.

What other people think of you is none of your business. Own who you are unapologetically! Validation from others will not move you forward. 

Did you feel that?
