Self Talk

I hear people grumble sometimes about those two words "self talk". "Ughhh, you mean I have to tell myself to have a good day." What is that and why is this so hard to do? What do you see when you look into a mirror. We all have to every single day. We brush our hair or teeth, we put make up on, we groom ourselves for the day. What do you see when you do this. Do you ignore yourself and just do it because you have to? Or do you really "LOOK" at yourself and who you are?

People always tell me what a great person I am. It flatters me, but until I believe this myself, it is only on the surface that I believe what they are saying. Sure, I am nice, all my kids friends think I am the most awesome of mothers, most everyone that meets me says that I am so sweet and nice. Which I truly love and am grateful that my outward appearance is so excepted. But I think a lot of us struggle with that feeling that we aren't exactly what we wish we could be. I grew up the odd ball of most of my friends. I hung out with the less than popular group. When I was invited into any of the popular, more pretty girl group, it was usually so I would take the fall for whatever stupid thing they were planning to do. I was the scape goat. I think there are many of us out there that had these same experiences in life yes?

Well, fast forward a couple dozen years and here I am a mother to three wonderful kids and a wife to a very loving husband. But sometimes what I see in the mirror is that awkward teen ager who only the unpopular people really liked. When people ask me to do them favors or whatever, I tend to feel used, even when they are not even close to using me.

So how am I coping with this and how do I get over it. I mean come on it has been so many years ago to let these things bother me right? There are times my actions and thoughts are so silly that I laugh at myself. But they are feelings that were programed into my head for many years. About 7 months ago my husband stumbled onto a group of individuals that mentor and train others in network marketing. Well, I have to say they do much more than that. Niether one of us were ever sure why we failed at so many things. Why we would always stop short of reaching our goals in life. When we started to do the Mental Cleanse with our group of mentors, we learned a lot. A lot about how the others in our group were a lot like us. Plus we learned why we always stopped ourselves from success.

I still struggle at times with old feelings of hurt or whatever they may be. But it is amazing to look in that mirror and see a successful mother and wife. To actually like the person who is looking back at me. I have gone through life never feeling as worthy as another person. I don't know if I will ever completly stop doing the mental cleansing, but I do know that I am so much happier than I have ever been since joining these amazing people.

This is my self talk that I say daily to myself:
"I am the MASTER of my FATE, the CAPTAIN of my SOUL, because I have the power to control my thoughts!"(Out of the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill)
I am having fun building a future for me and my family, through learning and the teaching of others, because I can do ALL things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me!

I say this to myself in the mornings, afternoons, nights, whenever I need a boost in my self confidence. I thank all those in my group for helping me out whenever I need it!
