<p>What is the worst thing you can do when you start your day?</p>
<p>Wake up feeling exhausted and expect yourself to perform at<br />
100% from the moment you get up in the morning; and then<br />
compare how you are doing during the day against this<br />
unrealistic benchmark. This is a personal motivation mistake!</p>
<p>There is a better way!</p>
<p>As you wake up in the morning take charge of your thoughts<br />
in that early morning awareness before you fully awake.</p>
<p>Do this before you get up out of bed by repeating some<br />
affirmations. Affirmations work very well WHEN you say them<br />
with strong feelings in a state of deep relaxation.</p>
<p>If you have heard about affirmations before and never got<br />
the maximum benefit from them it is because you did not<br />
know how to take a very simple approach and supercharge it.</p>
<p>Supercharging affirmations depends on four factors:</p>
<p>- Phrasing affirmations in the right way<br />
- Choosing ones that are right for you<br />
- Saying them while in a state of deep relaxation<br />
- Speaking them with strong feeling</p>
<p>When you use affirmations correctly their impact will last<br />
for at least a few hours &#8211; long enough to get you started<br />
on the day ahead.</p>
<p>Pay close attention now because I am going to reveal<br />
details of some of my personal and very private habits&#8230;</p>
<p>I use the following affirmations to help me get up in a<br />
positive state of mind:</p>
<p>- Positive thoughts bring me the benefits I desire</p>
<p>- Negative thoughts have no influence over me</p>
<p>- Everyday and in everyway I am getting better and better</p>
<p>To start the day with confidence&#8230;</p>
<p>- I am confident and charming with the people I meet</p>
<p>- I radiate confidence and relaxation</p>
<p>- I start great conversations easily and effortlessly</p>
<p>- I approve of myself and feel great about myself</p>
<p>- I have sky-high self-esteem</p>
<p>You can do the same&#8230;</p>
<p>Remember to say these affirmations with feeling and do so<br />
quietly inside your head while in that relaxed awakening<br />
state.</p>
<p>Unless I use this ritual each morning I tend to feel<br />
negative about the day ahead. The difference from feeling<br />
negative to feeling positive is huge for the sake of those<br />
few minutes in the morning.</p>
<p>You can also go one step further and imagine the day ahead<br />
working out well. See yourself doing your best and easily<br />
dealing with challenges. Imagine yourself feeling confident<br />
and behaving in that way no matter who you deal with.</p>
<p>Imagine you will have a great day in this way and you are<br />
directing your unconscious to make it happen in the<br />
language it understands best &#8211; feelings and images.</p>
<p>Forget about will power.</p>
<p>Will power is a waste of time because its like talking to<br />
the most powerful part of your mind in a language it does<br />
not understand.</p>
<p>The key to success is to discover breakthrough ways of<br />
using your mind and to use these strategies daily.</p>
