more about themselves than about you. It
reveals to you their values, standards,
expectations and priorities.”

5. Experiences
• PAST & PRESENT EXPERIENCES (Knowingly or
unknowingly) have a significant influence on
your constructed self.

growing up years, any problem you meet is
just another challenge; failures become mere
setbacks and opportunities for learning

what we can accomplish.

negative feelings, thoughts, ideas or

times when your actions, plans, decisions are
bound to be less successful.

are part of our investment in continuous
learning and improvement.

SUCCESS

WAYS TO CHANGE NEGATIVE
LIMITING BELIEFS

Imagineering
Experimenting
Affirming
Imagineering
• Generate the mental picture of what you want
to be or do, condition your inner-self to
accomplishing and fulfilling these goals.

• MENTAL “PSYCHING UP”


Experimenting
• Do not stop at imaging what you can do.
Proceed to put it immediately to a test.
– Help you to select ideas to improve what you are
wishing for
– Help you present new procedures of doing things
– Make you realize more satisfying effects of the
freedom that lead you to discover new ways of
doing things
Affirming
• Consists of positive statements or self-talk
which inspire, encourage and energize you.
To be personally effective
you have to be like an
ARCHITECT
continuously enhancing and
strengthening your
constructed self.
Use ARCH as your daily guideline…
Accept failures and mistakes and
bounceback
• Your failures can become fertilizers which will
enrich your self-knowledge and enhance your
skills for improved effectiveness and success.
• Realize that we all make mistakes. The KEY to
success is
– ACCEPTING that you made a mistake
– EXAMINING these mistakes
– LEARNING from them
“TURN YOUR SCARS INTO STARS”
“ALL PENCILS HAVE ERASERS”
Realign and Refrain …
1. Focus and build on your strengths, while
recognizing your limitations.
2. Place goals where you can review them
several times each day.
3. Develop plan and implement it.
Convert negative thoughts…
• Your mind can be your worst enemy. Your
memory bank often carries damaging, self-
defeating words and phrases. These images
and put downs diminishes your self-esteem,
undermines your self-image and demolishes
your self-confidence.
“LIKE VULTURES WHICH FEED ON THE
NEGATIVE PARTS OF YOU.”
Convert negative thoughts…

NEED TO DEVELOP MOOD CONTROL


• Psychomotor skill of maintaining positive emotion
in whatever situations you encounter.
• Reframing a situation by changing your
interpretation and looking at it from another point
of view or perspective.
• Negative feelings (anger, frustration, fear, grief)
block and drain your energy flow. These clouds
judgment and sometimes can even immobilize you.
Have a VISION
• The picture/image of the future you intend to
create. It can be characterized as an explicit
assumption matched with powerful and
exciting images.
Have a VISION
• Your vision of the future is your
comprehensive personal statement which will
capture what you really want to happen in
your life and in your career.
“VISION without action
is merely a DREAM,
ACTION without vision
merely PASSES THE
TIME, VISION with
action creates the
future and CHANGES
THE WORLD.”
“Take it one day at a time, then, one day ---you
will find that you have finally become ---
MASTER of your inner world”
THANK
YOU!
Narration:
You know many times in life
We all hear the voice of temptation
to be small, to be little, to be mediocre
Not to be the Grand Being
That we are meant to be
But if we don’t answer that voice
If we just wait for a moment
Another voice is soon to follow
A voice that calls us to get up
to take up our bed and to raise
Yes, let’s do that.
I
The temptation comes upon me
To be the little me
To give up all my hopes and dreams
Of who I want to be
The temptation gathers round me
To live my living life to live within the prisons
I have built within my mind
(Refrain)
Then a voice calls out within me, Get up
Take up your bed, rise above your problems
And walk, as I have said: I led you then
I’ll lead you now and you will make it through
Somehow, One step at a time
One day you’ll find that you are there
One Step at a Time
One day you’ll find that you are there
II
The temptation seems to find me
When I’m sometimes unaware
When I’m far too weak to struggle
When I’m just too weak to care
I am tempted on occasion
To lay my faith aside
To huddle in the darkness
Where I tremble as I hide
(Repeat Refrain)
III
Temptation has no power but the power that I give
I should rather use my power
to love and laugh
and live
So whenever I am tempted to be less than I can be
Let me listen in the quite for the voice inside of me
IV
Now the voice calls out within me,
Get up, Take up you r bed,
Rise above your problems and walk
As I have said: I led you then,
I’ll lead you now and you will make it through
Somehow,

One Step at a Time


One day, you’ll find that you are there.
( 2x )

Repeat IV
