INSIGHT

Mental Diet Determines Character

  • Your mental diet shapes your character and almost everything that happens in life.
  • Brian Tracy compares the mind to a garden: if you don't plant positive thoughts, weeds (negative thoughts) will grow by default.
ADVICE

  • Use positive affirmations phrased in the positive, present, and personal tense to control your inner dialogue.
  • Examples: I like myself; I can do it; I feel terrific; I am responsible, because 95% of emotions come from self-talk.
ADVICE

Visualize Goals As Already Done

  • Practice vivid visualization by repeatedly seeing your goals as already accomplished.
  • Brian Tracy says all improvement begins with better mental pictures: 'As you see yourself on the inside, you will be on the outside.'
