Most of us say what we don’t want without realizing it. Today just notice it—no fixing yet. What did you catch yourself saying?

We got some new members from posting in another Skool group, and it reminded me of something I teach here. It’s easy to think This isn’t working Nobody’s joining This is slow But the direction you choose in your thinking matters. Instead of This is hard I try to think This is building Instead of This isn’t working I think This is starting This group is about learning to choose the direction on purpose. Not pretending. Just choosing where your mind goes.

I’m working on getting the workbook in the classroom. All pages will be available and if you’d rather not print I’ve added all the text on the pages in the ‘course’. What other tools would help you stay on track while learning to change your thoughts and words?

Have you noticed how often people say: I don’t think this will work I don’t think I can I don’t think that’s right It’s funny, because of course we ARE thinking. That phrase didn’t start because people weren’t thinking. It started because it sounds safer. It softens what we say. It makes us sound less certain. It protects us from being wrong. But the brain still hears the negative first. I don’t think I can → brain hears: can’t I don’t think this will work → brain hears: won’t work Try changing the structure: I think this may be difficult I think this might not work I think I can improve Same meaning. Different direction. Words change the picture in your mind.

Hi Alice, we are so happy to see you join the community! If you have a minute, can you mention what caused you to decide to join us? It’s a good start to get to know you and it helps me decide how and where I post links to the group. Please ask if you have any questions at all. This is a safe space where you can say what you truly feel and if you like I can help you to rephrase it. Thank you. I look forward to getting to know you!
