From the time we were little children we constantly are told the word, “can\’t.”
As I write these words, I am picturing my oldest son, who is now 26 years old, when he was a toddler. I picture him with a baggy diaper, toddling from one place to another wreaking havoc in every single room in our house.
No book could be on the lower two shelves of a bookshelf, because he would pull them all down and create a pile on the floor. If he found any paperbacks among them, he was particularly fond of chewing on them (I don\’t know why, he must have like the way they tasted or something).
When we informed him that one “can\’t” pull books off of bookshelves, he was off to the kitchen. While we were replacing the books, we could hear the pots and pans being pulled out from the bottom cabinets and onto the floor where they made a glorious racket.
All this time, like respectable parents every where, we were admonishing him about what one “can\’t” do.
I realize now that I probably crippled him psychologically for life and I sincerely regret it. But the damage is done, and he, like the rest of us, has now heard hundreds of thousands of “can\’ts” in his life.
This is why the little word “can” is so powerful and so liberating to us. So you should tell yourself “I can” at every opportunity you get.
One of the ways you can tell yourself “I can” is to create positive affirmations that you can use to re-program your mind and remove the self-limiting effects of all those “can\’ts.” The words, “I can” break us free from limitations. They tell us we can do more than we previously thought possible. The let us know that the chains we imagined holding us back were all in our imaginations.
Here are some great affirmations to get yourself started:
- I can lose weight and get in shape, starting today.
- I can eat healthy meals with no bad carbs.
- I can eat smaller portions and chew my food slowly.
- I can close more sales and bring in more business than last month.
- I can meet attractive members of the opposite sex and get them to like me.
Our lives have conditioned us to accept limitations upon what we can accomplish, on what we can earn, on where we can live, and how successful we can be. Affirmations that start with the words, “I can” are powerful tools to re-write the programming in your mind and set you free from that negative condition.
Just a few years after attempting suicide, Charles Brown has learned to literally “re-wire” and “re-program” his brain to achieve success in everything he attempts. He now teaches others how to use neuro-linquistic programming (NLP), subliminal technology, self hypnosis, and other methods to make major changes in their lives. He is the author of the free downloadable ebook, The Science of Change: How To Re-Program Your Mind and Transform Your Life. This ebook has 49 pages of transformational information and can be downloaded at http://www.geocities.com/chbrown56
