Are you saying these things and destroying your own confidence?

A pretty basic sentence but it struck me how often we say things like this to ourselves without even thinking about it. Yet, it's sentences like this which can completely throw off our goals and can even prevent us from living to our full potential.

We're self sabotaging ourselves by not paying attention to our automatic responses. We say them and move on.

So, saying, "I'll do it later" is one of the most common ones we say but I started thinking about what other ones are just as damaging yet we don't even think about them.

So, I came up with a list of the 6 most damaging sentences to your self-confidence. You probably don't even realize how destructive these sentences are.

I bet you've said #3 quite a few times. This one temporarily releases you from the guilt you're feeling.

Meditation To Try

One thing I've wanted to do is meditate. But I can only do it for about a minute and then I get distracted or have an intense desire to do something else.

I've been having some good success by using a program called Zen 12 though.

All you have to do is listen to the music for 12 minutes, with or without headphones. You don't even have to worry about sitting perfectly still with a focused mind. The music puts your mind in a meditative state. Whoo Hoo! My kind of meditation.

I find it very calming. Doesn't have annoying sounds like bells or rain like a lot of mediation music does.

It's also been helpful playing it when I want to focus on a task.

They also offer a guided meditation and the guy does have an incredibly calming voice and it's an interesting guided process. Not a lot of breathe in, breathe out talk which I've never liked.

Anyway, if you'd like to give it a try, you can download a sample here, Zen 12

Be prepared to suddenly feel very, very calm.

To learn more about the program and how it works, here's the link for that: Zen 12 - How It Works

Coloring is such a great form of meditation. It'll relax you as well as calm your brain. Plus, you'll get the quote to remind yourself to believe in yourself.
