Being Your Belief

Our beliefs drive our actions.  Grading Girl believes there are some juicy beliefs that each of us would like to hold about ourselves.   Here’s a step-by-step process to create and embody them.

I just completed this with my Speech Communications class.  The only way to be a truly effective communicator is to understand and believe in yourself ~

Being Your Belief!!!

 

1. Think of a belief you want to have about yourself.

2. Create a sentence that affirms that belief.  Start with either of these two phrases:

I can . . .

I am . . .

3.  Now say to yourself:  “When I am at my best, I can/am (fill in with your belief).”

4.  Now think of someone who has that belief about herself (himself) or acts as if she believes something similar about herself.  For example, if you want to be more critical, Simon Cowell might be a good role model.  If you want to be more sophisticated, Julie Andrews might be a good role model.  Of course, thinking of someone you know personally who has this belief works just as well . . . if not better.

5.  Pay attention to how your role model stands, moves, breathes and acts.

 6. Stand like that yourself – mimic the posture.  You’ll be surprised how much this helps!!

7. Say the belief to yourself over and over in your head . . . listen to that little voice in your head.

8. Say your new belief out loud.  It will really make it a truism.

9. Continue this process until you ARE what you believe.  The more you do this, the more your body takes on the cell memories of the belief and the more it appears as if it is ture.  Then one day it just is!!!
