GO! 

Yesterday you learned to use your internal STOP sign to eliminate negative thoughts and expressions in order to grow our age esteem.

Let’s take it a step further.  It isn’t enough to simply stop our negative thoughts.  We need to also replace them with something positive.  A positive thought or expression is uplifting and moves us forward.  Negatives are like weights that hold us down.

Now that you have used your STOP sign to eliminate negatives that creep into your language, it is time to replace those negative words and expressions with positive thoughts and words.  Just as the streetlights turn from stop to go, so will your thoughts.

• Each time you catch yourself using a negative expression such as “I can’t”, STOP!
• Now GO! Transform your words to make them positive.  “I could never learn to use these new fangled phones” becomes “I will learn to use my new phone’s multiple possibilities”.
• GO! with your new positive vocabulary until it becomes second nature.

You will soon find that you have a whole new attitude that enhances your age esteem and your life will become happier.
