I Choose Not To!

5/6/2020

0 Comments

 
We should never say, "I can't".  A more accurate response is "I choose not to".  If I asked you to clean out my septic tank, I am sure you would reply, "I can't" or "I won't" or "go to ...".  However, the accurate response would be, "I choose not to".  If I offered a reasonable amount of money ($10 million), you may respond, "Now, I choose to".  Our response (word choices) matter. How we talk to ourselves and the words we use will impact our attitude and behavior.  Try this activity today ...

Instead of saying, "I can't do this", think to yourself "How can I find a way to accomplish this?"

Instead of saying, "I am stupid", change  your mindset to "I can learn."

Instead of saying, "I made a mistake", change your thoughts to "I can learn from this mistakes."

Instead of saying, "Someone will always be better than me", say "How can I become the best me that I can be?"

Instead of saying, "This is too hard", tell yourself "If I put in more time and effort, I can do it."

Instead of saying, "I quit", try to say "I can definitely find a way around this."

Instead of saying, "My day is ruined", say out-loud "Is my day actually ruined or did I make that small thing a much bigger deal than it should be?"
