Developing a Successful Mindset

Overview:
No one expects you to walk around with rose colored glasses, but negative nellies are no joy to spend time with either. This course encourages you to walk your talk, and if your talk is positive, upbeat, inspiring and confident you can be sure your life will reflect that successful mindset back on those you work and play with.

You have been speaking since you were two years old and you are probably still using a lot of the vocabulary you first learned when growing up. It is time to up your game and use the English language the way it is intended, in a positive, upbeat, empowering manner to attract success and opportunities to your life.

We will examine positive phrases and verbiage that will leave listeners with a pleasant, agreeable and empathetic feeling towards you. Rather than telling people what you don't want from them you will learn how to give directives about what you want from others. Replace don't do this with remember to do this.

Low energy words drag you down and leave your listener with feelings of ennui and that you don't care or aren't really engaged in the topic at hand. Instead of saying "I am sad" or "this is hard", practice using high energy replacement words such as "I am unhappy" and "This is not easy."

Limiting statements can sound like you are complaining. 'I can't do this" can easily be replaced with "I am going to give it my best shot." The latter displays hope, confidence, resilience and tenacity whereas the former statement makes you sound like you have given up and maybe are a failure. Certainly, it does not reflect someone who is ambitious and a go getter.

Developing a successful mindset, or a positive mindset starts first and foremost with a positive attitude and positive verbiage and intonation, and the universe takes its from there onward and upward in your career, relationships and goals in life!
