TEXT B

The Language of Confidence

The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us a great degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to use the language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve our quality of life.

Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our subconscious mind, which is like a child, and it doesn't really understand the difference between what really happens and what you imagine. It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it - whether you do this

knowingly or not is entirely up to you.

"Try"

It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says, "I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be putting their whole heart into it, and may not even do it at all. How often do you use the word try when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to be

more confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"?

Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourself in two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to …" and notice how you feel. Next say, "I will do …" and see how you feel.

The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? It gives you a sense of determination, a feeling that it will be done. Listen to the people around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not. Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.

"Can't"

This is another small word with a big impact. It disempowers us, makes us feel weak and helpless, and damages our self-esteem. It limits our infinite abilities and stifles creativity. Rub it out from your internal dictionary and replace it with something that makes you feel great.

Instead of saying you can't, why not say something like "I choose …" or "I choose not to …". Using words like this allows you to take back your power and to be in control of your life.

Words may appear small and insignificant, yet they can have a deep and lasting effect on us. Mastering your language gives you the power to live whatever life you desire.

What words do you use a lot that disempower you? Make a list of words you commonly use and then write next to them some alternatives you can use. Make these alternatives words that make you feel fabulous, not only about yourself, but about life and what you are doing!

自信的语言

我们使用语言来表达我们的大脑里所想的。掌握我们的语言给了我们对自身生活和命运以很大程度上    的驾驭权。尽可能地用最好的方式使用语言对显著改善我们的生活品质是很重要的。~甚至是最小的那些单词也会对我们的潜意识产生深刻的影响，这就好比对于一个孩子来说，他并不真正理解正在发生的事与你想象到的东西有什么区别。他渴望取悦你，乐意听从你给他下的任何命令，而你是有意还是无意地做这些完全取决于你。

 “尝试/努力”(try)

这虽然是一个很小的单词，但却会对我们产生巨大的影响。如果有人说“我会努力去做”，你就知道他们并不准备全身心地去做，甚至可能根本不去做。当谈论对你很重要的事情的时候，你使用“尝试/努力(try)”这个单词的频率如何？你会不会说“我会努力变得更有自信心”或是“我会努力去做”亦或是“我会尝试去打电话”。

请思考一下你想要达成的目标，然后用两种不同的方式说给你自己听听。第一种方式，你说：“我会努力去做……”，并同时注意你自己的感觉。接下来用第二种方式对自己说：“我将要去做……”，并感受一下自己的感觉。

你会感觉第二种方式比第一种要好，是不是？它给你一种有决心的感觉，一种你想做的事情将要被达成的感觉。你可以观察一下你周围的人们，他们说他们会尝试做某事的时候，你注意一下看他们是否做成了。

请把“尝试/努力”(try)这个单词从你的字典里清除掉，然后看看你的生活改善了多少。

“不能”(Can’t)

这也是一个很小却有很大影响力的单词。它削弱我们的自信心，令我们感觉软弱、无助，并且损伤我们的自尊心。它限制了我们的潜能，扼杀了我们的创造力。请把这个词从我们头脑里擦掉，并替换成使我们感觉很棒的单词。

与其说你“不能”(Can't),为什么不说“我选择做…”或者“我选择不去做…”使用那些能够让你找回カ量的词语，并掌控你自己的人生。

单词表面看起来很小，貌似微不足道，但是它们却可以对我们产生深刻而持久的影响。掌控你的话语会给你带来更大的力量以便让你能过上渴望的生活。

你所经常使用的词语中哪些削弱了你的力量？请列一个清单，写出你常使用的单词，然后在它们旁边写出你可以用来替换掉它们的单词。让这些替代词不仅使你自己感觉很妙，而且使你对生活，对你所做的事情感觉无限美好吧！
