We hear a lot about the power of positive language, and rightfully so.

The problem is, sometimes positive language is premature. If we are just learning something, just taking on a new identity, it can be too soon to make big positive claims about our new self. If we say too quickly, “this is who I am now,” then it may not feel true, and our brains will reject it. That makes it harder to hold on to the new learning and really implement it.

There is a secret to making positive language feel congruent, something you have to do first. Learn about it in this week’s video, the third answer I gave to the question of keeping momentum after a seminar, or after any important event or new learning.

Here is an attachment that walks you through the process described in the video. Download it now and put it to work! If you missed the first two videos, you can learn how to keep your momentum with a quick language trick, and learn what moving your furniture has to do with keeping your momentum. Leave me comments in the comment section. Share how you implement this strategy in your life, so other people can model your success.

Seminars. Speakers. Workshops. How many have you attended?

Probably more than you can count.

The memories, the learning, the strategies, are great to recall.

But be honest with yourself, just for a moment.

How many times have you left a seminar, a workshop, or a speaker with the best of intentions, a commitment to implementation, but then did little or nothing? How many times have you gotten back home or to your office and let the demands of your life, and your old habits, get the best of you?

That experience is much less pleasant to recall. It’s embarrassing.

So you put it behind you, and go to another one, sure that this time will be different. And the cycle continues.

But what if you knew three simple brain strategies that would change the pattern? What if you could activate brain circuits that would carry your momentum into the future, into practical implementation?

I was at a seminar recently, and a friend asked me the question you should be asking yourself every time, “How can I keep this momentum? How can I make this time different?”

Over these three blog posts, I give you the three simple strategies I taught my friend. She said they made an immediate difference.

Here’s the best news: She got results starting with the very first strategy!

Discover what I told her, in this week’s video.

Make sure to leave me a comment below the video! I’d love to hear your results, and what seminar learning you are going to make a part of your new identity.

Momentum can be tricky.

You learn something new at a seminar, or from a local speaker or something you read, and you get excited and determined to implement it in your life. You may even channel your excitement into temporary change.

But you look back, days or weeks later, and nothing has changed.

In today’s blog video I show you one simple step you can take that can turn that temporary stream of momentum into a permanent river of new habits and sustainable progress.

Yes, it has to do with your furniture. No, you don’t have to go to the mall. 🙂
