Podcast Episodes Will be Brief and Focused:

The episodes for this podcast are designed to be brief, focused, and to the point. For more expansive discussion of affirmations, research, and guided meditations, visit our www.PositiveWordPower.com show website.

Short, Focused Affirmations:

So why should you make short, focused affirmations a part of your everyday life? What’s in for you?

Here’s one important reality: Words matter. Words you say in mind, also called self-talk, and words you say out loud are all affirmations.

Every statement you make about yourself, to yourself, about other people, and about circumstances in your life are affirmations. Your subconscious mind is always listening so it’s vital to choose positive words that empower your health, wealth, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Your self-talk, the words you consistently say within your mind and out loud, and the words you say to others, all matter.

Empowering self-talk motives you to achieve what you were put in this world to achieve and the words you speak and write inspire others to do the same.

How This Podcast Works:

The way this podcast works is I share an inspiring quote, I offer brief commentary about that quote, and I suggest one or more affirmations you can choose to use to make create positive results in your life.

Stephen King's Guidance:

Let's again hear author Stephen King's words:

"You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will."

What is King talking about? Your goals.

Does it really take bravery to start?

For most of us most of the time it absolutely takes bravery to reach outside of our comfort zone. Why?

Fear.

Fear of failure and perhaps fear of success. Yes, we can be afraid of success.

There are many reasons why fear of success can occur. We can be worried about what others in our circle of family and friends will say if we achieve a significant goal, particularly if that goal relates to money.

We can be afraid somehow, "I'll change; I'll become someone else; Who am I to achieve this goal?".

What about fear of failure? "What if I fail? I'm afraid people will ridicule me, laugh at me, judge me, if I fail. I'm afraid I'll judge myself as a loser. And I will be a loser!".

Some of our fear of failure will be conscious and some will be subconscious. When going for a stretch goal, it's important to recognize you may experience subconscious resistance.

If the goal speaks to your heart, to your highest values, if it's a 9 or 10 on a zero to 10 scale of desire? Move forward one tiny step at a time. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Suggested Affirmations:

Here are my affirmation suggestions for you to consider:

I choose to create and see in mind daily powerful images of what it will look like, sound like, and feel like when I achieve this goal.

I choose to achieve this goal in tiny steps if necessary even if I experience subconscious or conscious resistance as long as this goal continues to speak to my heart and my highest values.

Returning to Stephen King's guidance,

"I choose to affirm, I can, I should, and I am brave enough to start now and to finish."
