Good morning... video 3 of my Positivi-tea sessions, I'm delighted to be here, I hope that you're all well. So we're digging deeper on those morning routines and I have mentioned quite a few times about affirmations and affirmations are so simple, but great for really making you have a wonderful life and setting your day up for success. So let us have a think about affirmations, it really connects to being reflective. So I talked before about thinking about what went well in your day and even better if. So, let's use an example that perhaps after reflection, I felt that I could have been more confident with my my customers or with the people I work with. So then I have to think about what is going to serve me? What do I need to tell myself? So I'm saying that I'm feeling that I'm not confident. That I'm shy or whatever it is. But when we think about our affirmations, we need to think about how we word them. So we always put it in the present tense. So you're telling your subconscious mind, I am confident. Not 'I will be' but 'I am confident'. So present tense is always important. Then we must not use negatives. Our brain does not understand negatives. So for example, there's no point saying, I' don't want to be shy' or 'I'm not shy', because your brain will just hear 'SHY', so present tense and saying it positively and you're thinking about your beliefs and my beliefs are, maybe I'm not good enough. Maybe, I can't do this. So what we want to tell our brain is, 'I am confident'. The next step is to visualize yourself being confident. So think about yourself in the workplace being confident. How does that look? What do you see yourself doing? What do you see the people around you doing? And really spend some time focusing on what you see. Then focus upon what are you hearing? What are you saying to those customers? What are you saying to your colleagues? What are they saying back to you? So focus on that. And then think about, how does that make me feel when I am being confident? So I did say this before, it's great because that's visualization. So in your head you're already there, so you're really setting yourself up for success. So once you've visualize what it is to be confident, then say it and say it with your body. There's no point in saying, 'Yeah, I am confident'. Think about, how does a confident me look? So shoulders back, head up. Whatever it is for you to feel confident and then play around with saying that to yourself. 'I am confident'. I am confident, practice saying it with confidence, knowing that your confident, stepping into that confident pose and we always talk about the power of 3. So say it 3 times, because when you're saying it 3 times, you're really locking it in. So, I am confident. I am confident. I am confident, say it 3 times and like medicine take it at least twice a day. So say it in the morning. You say it in the morning, you're setting yourself up for the morning, you're giving yourself the intentions and you're feeling that positive boost, because when you actually say, 'I am confident' and you say with your mind, your body and your soul, you're feeling good. You're setting that positive flow. Say it in the evening at the end of the day before you sleep, you're feeding... your subconscious mind will be working over that, but also say it throughout the day when you need it. Maybe there's a situation that you're coming up to that you're not sure about and you think you could do with that dose of affirmations. So say to yourself quietly. So affirmations are so powerful. So think about what you need to be telling yourself? Say it in the present tense. In positive language. And it will serve you and see how it feels. Try it for a week. See how you feel in those situations, the power of affirmations to help you nail your day. Thank you so much. Bye.
