Positive thoughts, spoken out loud to ourselves become positive statements, and if taken one step further, become guides for our thinking on a daily basis.
大聲對自己說出積極的想法會形成積極的暗示。如果再進一步，就會成為我們每天思想的向導。
Yesterday I played tennis with my brother. In the third set I was so delirious from physical exhaustion that I struggled to keep track of the score. I even lost track of who was serving. I knew if I wanted to win, I would need to step up my game, concentrate and give 100% of myself. So after every point, I kept saying to myself “focus, focus, focus, focus, focus” until I was completely focused on what I wanted to do.
昨天我和我弟弟打了一場網球賽。到第三局時我已經累得精疲力竭了，不但沒得分，甚至連該誰發球都不知道了。當時我知道，如果我想贏，我就得振奮士氣，全神貫注比賽，打出最好的水平。所以，接下來我不斷暗示自己集中精力，直到我完全進入狀態。
Repetition of a simple positive statement and the resulting focus allowed me to give that extra effort. My positive statement became my reality and the tipping point for the big win!
不斷重復這種簡單的積極暗示讓我得以集中精力，更加努力比賽，也讓我展現了最好的水平并成為我后來完勝的關鍵。
How to Use Guiding Statements
我們該如何運用它呢?
Repetition is the key to effective guiding statements. The more you repeat these statements in your mind with vigor and passion, the more you will believe in them.
重復是讓它發揮作用的關鍵。你充滿活力與激情地在腦海中重復越多這些積極暗示，你就越會相信它們。
It’s also possible to use these types of statements to effectively reprogram your thinking. Repetition over a long period of time can replace negative self-defeating thoughts, reservations and fears with positive, encouraging and inspirational thoughts. You can become the next Rocky. Really.
運用這種暗示有效改變思維方式也是有可能的。長期地重復它們可以減除不自信，恐懼和保守等消極思想，取而代之的是積極向上，鼓舞人心。你就是下一個神話。
If you want to reprogram some negative thinking, write out your positive affirmations and read them throughout the day. Recently I saw John Maxwell at a leadership event carrying a laminated card with his personal goals and positive statements. This card accompanies him everywhere he goes as a constant reminder of his desired outcomes.
如果你想要改變某些消極思想，那么把你對自己的肯定寫出來并保持一整天都重復朗讀。最近我在一次領導層活動中看到約翰·馬克爾維斯(John Maxwell)了，他隨身帶著一疊卡片，上面寫著他的個人目標和對自己的積極暗示。他走到哪就把卡片帶到哪，以提醒自己不要忘了預定目標。
I realize this is a tough subject to cover in a short blog post but don’t under estimate the value of this lesson. Using this strategy over the years has allowed me to control my thinking by programming the thoughts that go through my head.
我知道僅憑一篇簡短的博客文章很難說明問題，但也不要低估了這一課的價值。這些年來，我就是用這一方法改變了自己的心態和思維。
My ability to control my thinking has given me total confidence that I can do anything I put my mind to. If that negative voice in the back of my mind opens it’s mouth, I shut it down and change my thoughts with my guiding statements.
這種自制力給了我全面的自信，讓我堅信只要努力就沒有我做不到的事。如果腦中那些消極思想蠢蠢欲動，我就會用這種暗示法把它們鎮壓下去。
Using positive affirmations and guiding statements opens your mind to see solutions and opportunities that would normally be overlooked. As a natural consequence, you’ll feel better about yourself and most importantly you will be able to guide your thoughts to help you achieve your goals.
給自己一些積極的肯定和暗示，你就能解放思想，找到問題的解決方法，看到通常被忽視的機遇。這樣，你自然而然能看到更好的自己。最重要的是，你有能力引導自己的思想并實現目標。
Let me challenge you to start using these types of statements today. Don’t just utter the words. Say it like you mean it! These statements are mini goals that pack a powerful punch.
接受我的挑戰吧，今天就開始對自己運用這種暗示。切忌空談，定要言出必行!這些暗示是小目標，但能給你強大力量。
