Be careful how you speak to yourself.

Your brain is always looking for evidence to confirm what you have told it. You’re subconsciously always looking for evidence to support what you already believe. This impacts on how you gather, interpret and remember information.

For example, if you believe that you are a failure, your brain is going to seek & find everything in your life that reinforces that statement. Your brain will stay on high alert for any signs that you are not good enough on any specific aspect of your life. Work, school and even friendships.

Your current beliefs are shaping your current reality. Start thinking positive! Your brain craves positive thinking!

Your current beliefs are shaping your current reality and in order to change your reality, you need to identify and change any unhelpful or disempowering beliefs you’re holding onto about yourself and your life. Be intentional about your thoughts and the reality you’re creating.
