"The positive effect of self-help is temporary BUT so is daily bathing" - my version of Jim Rohn's classic
Nothing lasts forever. You hear that phrase all of the time.
Temporarily we can tell ourselves that we are something or can do something . We might actually believe it. In a study by Polivy and Herman found that 87% people believed their declarations of self change BUT in a few weeks their self-image was worse than before declaration.
The declarations have to be believed and have to be followed with action that supports the belief.
Suppose you want to change X and you decide for it to be Y. Now you must set out the action steps Y1, Y2, Y3, and so on that would lead you to a permanent change.
Just saying the positive thing you want to be is delusional but with action it can become reality.
Today's question is:
"Are you repeating affirmations or are you taking actions?"
