Start being your own Success Coach
By Mindbody Specialist and Free Spirit, Kathy Popplewell (7 Apr 2009)

You can be your own success coach, Yes You Can!

During the past week as I've been progressing through my tasks, one task at a time, ticking them off the list of things to do and feeling my momentum regenerate little by little, feeling the sense of overwhelm drifting away and the almost always partnering procrastination gently disipate....

I was feeling excited about life and had that feeling once again that Yes! I can make it happen, things are happening, life is full of opportunities and abundance, there's so much exciting stuff coming up.... and then....

I hit a bit of a old mindset brick wall as I looked at my bank account, my bills and business expenses... The momentum paused, the procrastionation darkness threatened to swallow me and the doubt set in...

I paused for a moment a thought about who I could call to maybe give me a little 'You Can Do It' pep talk...

Then I phoned a friend...
Friends and family mean to have your best interests at heart but alas they may or may not be the best people to turn to when you need or desire a 'You Can Do It' pep talk...

What I heard from my friend confirmed that I was looking for encouragement and affimation from the wrong source.

As soon as I got home I started writing myself little notes of affimation, praise and encouragement which I then stuck up around my bedroom mirror... Something I'd been thinking of doing for sometime but just hadn't got around to...

My phone conversation had served to inspire me to affirm myself (once again)... And once again, I feel great! Today I bought some post-its and can't wait to stick my self affirming notes up around my desk and in my car ;-)

These are mine

Just Do It
I Believe In YOU, Yes I DO
I CAN Do It, I KNOW I CAN
You CAN Do It, Yes You CAN
You are Amazing
I AM Making It Happen!

I know it may seem silly but it really make a BIG difference!

One of the major differences between success and non-success is SELF BELIEF. So whether you want to be the best mum, teacher, partner or business owner you can be...

You can do it too!

No matter whether you are retired, a full time mum, a uni student or a corporate executive you not only deserve to receive some words of praise, affimation and uplift for you in your life but you also need it to constantly grow, stay motivated and be inspired.

The power of this personal success tool is enhanced by writing the notes yourself, reading them as often as possible and re-writing them regularly...

Just imagine what the potential is if we started teaching our children to implement this from an early age, infinate & magnificent possibilities!

Write yourself some affirming notes and start being your own success coach, you're worth it ;-)
