Self-Motivation All Begins With Our Self Talk

First, consider how you define self-motivation. What does it mean to feel motivated by an external source like a person or incentive? And imagine how would feel when instead, this motivation comes from within – from your internal willingness and drive?

Self-motivation is stoking your internal drive to strive toward a goal, to keep progressing, and not giving up when challenges come your way. Easier said than done, certainly, but being self-motivated is also the most rewarding mindset to have.

How does this all relate to self-talk? Well, our self-talk is the constant conversation we keep with ourselves. Which is why it’s also the most important talk we can have. When our self-talk is negative and self-defeating, that’s not an optimal environment to thrive in. It’s not even a welcoming environment to be in.

When we can instead have positive, empowering self-talk that lifts us up and encourages us to keep going, that’s when the real motivation magic happens! Sounds pretty good, right?! If you answered “yes,”

Here’s a short blurb from the introduction:

How we talk to ourselves becomes the way that we talk about ourselves and ultimately becomes the way we see ourselves (and by default, how others see us). As motivational speaker Iyanla Vanzant says, “What you tell yourself about yourself, about your life, about your limitations, you will believe.”

Our self-talk is so important – it is a driving force in our self-confidence, and the perpetual narrator that colors in our experiences, our mood, our feelings, and our perspective. Self-talk, as well as self-motivation, are all about mindset.

I want to share something with you: I am the woman of my dreams! I am rooted in a full state of self-acceptance and the confidence that comes with it. I share this because through our year-long journey together, it is my greatest wish that you, too, will step fully into knowing and celebrating that you are the woman of your dreams.

As women, we give so much of ourselves, and it’s time to courageously give ourselves the gift of inspiration, a boost of self-confidence, and a heaping dose of motivation.

Another great aspect of how I wrote A Year of Self Motivation for Women is that while there is an entry for each day of the year, it’s not dated to a specific year, so it can remain your faithful companion year after year.

A Year of Self-Motivation for Women Is the Perfect Motivational Resource

Worthy Stokes, author of The Mindfulness Journal and founder of The HeartMind®Meditation Process, shares her beautiful thoughts:

“A sustainable, daily practice of self-love is a path of ongoing expansion, unexpected vulnerability, and courageous joy. Clearly inspired by her personal journey as a company founder and thought leader, Ashton August writes from the perspective of one who carries intimate knowledge of the inner strength required for outer, mindful success.

A Year of Self-Motivation for Women is a thoughtful and fluid, modernized road map for failing forward, living brave-heartedly, and building confidence…one day and one step at a time. Her practices and affirmations are fun, actionable, and easy to follow. Make this book a small part of your day to see big changes over time.”

I am immensely honored by the support that my book has already received, and thrilled knowing that it is out there in the world as a positive and motivational book to guide women everywhere in deepening their self-love, self-confidence, and of course, their self-motivation for 2022 and always.
