Affirmations and positive self talk pave the way for mental mastery. Your success begins in your mind. I fully believe that the best way to succeed is to train your mind for success. Zig Ziglar affirmations are some of the best in the business and they have helped tens of thousands of people achieve their goals.
I love learning from experts in their field. I aim to adopt the hallmarks of success by studying the habits and routines of successful people. Zig Ziglar is a well-known author, salesman, and motivational speaker. So many ZIg Ziglar affirmations resonate with me. In fact, I first found Zig through his quotes, if I’m honest!
Why I love saying Zig Ziglar affirmations
Affirmations are a quick and simple way to train your brain for success! In particular, Zig Ziglar affirmations are specific and direct. By speaking out loud words that resonate with you, your brain begins to change to adjust to these words that you believe to be true.
How I’ve used affirmations in the past
In THIS video, I outline how I said Zig Ziglar’s “Self Talk” motivation cards every day for a month straight. I used affirmations as a simple, straightforward way to confirm to myself the qualities I wanted to claim.
A little more on Zig Ziglar
Hilary Hinton “Zig” Ziglar was born on November 6, 1926. He dropped out of college in 1947 and moved to Lancaster, South Carolina where he began a job with the WearEver Cookware company. With this company, Zig was promoted to field manager and eventually divisional supervisor in 1950.
Through his work, he became interested in self help and motivational speaking. He was a charter member of the American Salesmasters in 1963. The company’s objective was to raise the image of salespeople in America through education and seminars. They began holding seminars in cities in the midwest by booking auditoriums and contacting local businesses to sell tickets.
Zig went on to become a major sales trainer for Mary Kay Cosmetics. Also, he also later founded the Zigmanship Institute, later known as Ziglar, inc. In addition to speaking, Zig wrote over 30 books. His first book “See You at the Top” was rejected by over 38 publishers. Despite the initial rejection, this book is still in print today. (2021)
The premise of Zig’s work is that the mind is hard-wired to believe what you tell it, whether or not it’s true at the moment. As a result, Zig encourages his listeners to “enthusiastically claim all those good qualities you want to develop.”
I read Zig Ziglar’s “Self Talk Card” out loud in the mirror every morning for a month straight.
Here are some more quotes from another Ziglar affirmation card
“I ___ (fill in your name here) am a person with integrity, a great attitude, and specific goals. I have a high energy level, am enthusiastic, and take pride in my appearance and what I do. I have a sense of humor, lots of faith, wisdom, and the vision and courage to use my talents effectively.”
Bottom Line:
Your mind responds to what you tell it, whether or not it’s true at the moment. Harness this power today to claim all the traits and good qualities you envision for yourself!
