The Key to A Positive Life: Positive View of Self

”It is nearly impossible to feel positive about a particular situation as long as you have a negative view of self.” - Maxwell Maltz

As you all may know by now I enjoy reading, and this year I made it a goal to read at least one book a month.

This month I started reading a book called Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.

I am half way through the book and although it was written in the 1960’s I love how a lot of the points he makes still hold true today.

One such point being the importance of having a positive view of self. Without a positive view of self, it is nearly impossible to feel positive about a given situation.

The power of how you view yourself and who you allow speak into your life (both positive and negative) greatly influences your life choices.

So I encourage you to take some time this week and reevaluate some of the negative images you may have of yourself. Ask yourself are these images/thoughts based on a fact or an opinion?

Challenge those thoughts and see how your life slowly starts to change in your favor.
