Encourage Yourself
Acrostic: creating a phrase where each word in the phrase begins with a letter in your name,
first last or both or your initials. Examples:
JCR: Journey to Completeness and Renewal
Ann: Amazing, Nurturing and Noteworthy
Helen - is a helping, encouraging leader who is elegant and nurturing.
I encourage everyone to do this exercise and create your own personal “catch phrase”.
When those automatic negative thoughts want to control your mindset,
Replace them with this phrase.
When self-doubt or even self-loathing creeps in,
when you are preparing for a job interview or to take a test,
when you feel ill-prepared to meet the challenge or in need of a pep talk -
Recall this phrase, which represents your strength, your undiminished beauty and what makes you awesome,
and Encourage Yourself!
