HOW TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS
THE SIX CRITERIA FOR POSITIVE ACTION SUGGESTIONS:
1. Must be positive in tone
2. Simple – – stated in sentence form
3. Believable – You must believe so you don’t get any negative back talk from yourself.
4. Measurable
5. Stated in the present tense – Not “ I will” as this puts it in the future
6. Must have a reward – How does it make you feel? Or, what is your benefit?
EXAMPLE:
Everyday at 7 am I ride my bike for 20 minutes and feel healthy and strong.
OR:
I sleep easily and deeply and feel refreshed on awaking
I eat small meals 3 times a day and maintain my ideal weight.
