Some final thoughts

Keep at it!

IIE® is just like any other language - if you learn it and don’t use it, you will forget it. So keep working with affirmations, and be patient if they don’t seem to work straight away. Life is a journey not a destination!

Some final thoughts

Sharing the information with others

If you want to share this information with others, choose to talk to them about some of the ‘easier’ concepts such as self-talk and goal setting. The best way to integrate the concepts in your private or professional life is by ‘walking the talk’.

Some final thoughts

Reflective thinking

Reflective thinking is extremely important for personal development, especially as a preparation for goal setting. Why not get a notebook and write down your thoughts and reflections - and remember to note the date. Written goals have more power than those that are only thought about.

Some final thoughts
