30 days: Change your habits, Change your life

Trying implies failure.
What would
you rather have a person say to you if you put them in charge of a
task: “I’ll try to get it done” or “I’ll get right on it”? 
Do or do not!
When I was at the beginning of my coaching career, I found out
quick that those of my clients who tried to do their homework, usually
didn’t do it. Those who tried to find more time, didn’t find it. Those
who tried to exercise three times a week, didn’t do it. From then on,
when someone said to me, “I’ll try”, I asked them, “Will you do it or
won’t you?” 
There is no try!
It’s as Nike says, “Just do it!” If you do it
and it works…great! Well done! If you do it and it doesn’t work. Ok.
Let’s have a look at it. What went wrong? Did you learn something
from the experience? What can you change to get the result you
want? Go again! 
Just trying doesn’t take you anywhere. I’m in
line with Master Yoda:
Do or do not!

The power of affirmations
Here is a most significant fact—the subconscious
mind takes any orders given it in a spirit of absolute
FAITH, and acts upon those orders, although the orders often
have to be presented over and over again, through repetition,
before they are interpreted by the subconscious mind.
—NAPOLEON HILL, “THINK AND GROW RICH”
We already talked about the importance of positive self-talk. One
very good technique is using Affirmations. By repeating positive
statements many times a day you convince your subconscious mind
to believe them. And once your subconscious mind is convinced, you
start acting accordingly and “attract” circumstances into your life and
see opportunities everywhere. It’s important to state them positively
and in the present so that your subconscious mind can’t differentiate
between if it’s already true or “only” imagined.
