MILLIONAIRE MINDSET/SELF-TALK

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

to improve your self-talk?

•Who talks about you in a way that makes you feel

better about yourself?


WHY DOES SELF-TALK MATTER?

Success results from our actions

Actions are filtered by our feelings

Feelings are based on our attitudes

Attitudes come from our beliefs

Beliefs are purely programming

From Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.:

What to Say When You Talk to Yourself


SELF-CONFIDENCE CYCLE

Self Talk

Self Image

Actions

Behaviors

Results


UNDERSTANDING AFFIRMATIONS

WORDS

PICTURES

FEELINGS


YOUR PROCESSING SYSTEM

Drive “What am I aiming for?” Creativity “How can I achieve it?” Regulation “Am I comfortable?”


WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR YOU CAN’T YOU’RE PROBABLY RIGHT

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN, YOU ARE;

IF YOU THINK THAT YOU DARE NOT, YOU DON’T;

IF YOU’D LIKE TO WIN, BUT YOU THINK YOU CAN’T, IT’S ALMOST CERTAIN YOU WON’T.

IF YOU THINK YOU’LL LOSE, YOU’VE LOST;

FOR OUT IN THE WORLD YOU’LL FIND

SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A FELLOW’S WILL.

IT’S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND.

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE OUTCLASSED, YOU ARE;

YOU’VE GOT TO THINK HIGH TO RISE;

YOU’VE GOT TO BE SURE OF YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN EVER WIN A PRIZE.

LIFE’S BATTLES DON’T ALWAYS GO

TO THE STRONGER OR FASTER MAN;

BUT SOONER OR LATER THE MAN WHO WINS

IS THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN. “A plaque has hung in my office for many years carrying the above selection of free verse. I am not aware of its origin, but consider it a pertinent guideline for one to pursue in life

and toward specific goals as well.” - Arnold Palmer
