How writing affects your results and obtain goals
How writing affects your results? Have you ever noticed that if you have a goal that you want to achieve or if you just want to take care of business, any business, whether it’s making sure you go to the grocery store or writing your homework, doing your homework assignment, anything like that, writing things down actually causes you to remember.
The thing about it is, it actually makes you think, and that’s the key to changing your results.
So here’s how this works….
The Power of Writing
When you write something down, whether it’s a goal or something that you want to accomplish, or a to do list, here’s how the mechanism that’s actually working. Your writing causes you to think. Your thinking then creates an image in your head about why or how you can get it done, or exactly what you want.
Let me backtrack. This is especially powerful when you’re doing things like affirmations, okay?
So let’s go deep into the affirmations, not just goal setting, not just to do list, let’s go deep into affirmations and how this can work for you.
So your writing down your affirmation creates or causes you to think about it, okay? This thinking then creates an image. When you can create an image in your head about exactly it is that you’re working towards, whatever it is that you’re working towards, working on, when you create that image in your head, what happens then is those images create feelings.
You start to get excited about it, or you start to feel settled in the fact that, “Oh gosh, I am really going to become a nurse, I am really going to help people!” Whatever those feelings are, created from that image. But the image can then, you know, they control your feelings.
From there, your feelings about it start to cause actions, and those actions that are generated, create new results. So I’m going to run through this very quickly, but give you an example. You know, I’ve been working with the kids on helping them with their mindset and helping them see the power of their mind, which is, oh my gosh, what a beautiful gift to give these children, right?
The power of their mind and how they can change a result.
So one of the kids has a pretty lofty goal of wanting to get something that costs a lot of money. So what we did was, we did the goal setting. We all wrote down our list of wants. Then out of that list they chose a goal. This particular goal requires a lot of money. So the writing down of this goal caused him to think about what it would be like to have this thing.
His goal is, he wants to buy his own computer. So he started imagining what it would be like to have his own computer. That image in his head creates feelings of excitement and looking forward to it, and then it’s starting to create actions. Last night we came up with a game plan for how to make some money, how they can earn some money, in order to buy the computer.
So we’re going to take those actions, and then that result is that they’re going to be able to earn enough money to buy a computer. I really believe that. It’s pretty fantastic.
The Power of Affirmations
So that’s how that works. The power of your affirmations, the power of writing it down, writing creates new results, it starts a chain reaction. When you take these steps, you write it down, it causes your thinking, your thinking creates an image, your image controls your feelings about what it is that you want, and then your feelings cause you to take the actions, and it’s your actions that create a new result. Isn’t that fabulous?
Oh my gosh, so fabulous!
Thanks so much for reading this post. If you know anyone who wants to create different results in their life, share this post and video.
I can definitely teach you how to do things differently, how to change your mindset, and basically how to accomplish anything you want in your life.
If you do what I tell you to do, I can help you do that. How awesome is that?
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!

Mindset shift for children – 30 day challenge
Mindset shift for children, this is day two. And I’m going to do a questionnaire and the kids know that I’m recording them, but they don’t know what I’m going to ask them. So we’ve been discussing mindset shift and how to do goal setting and how to, and how and why this program works, and no matter what age you are.
So we’ve decided to do this 30 day challenge, the 30 day game for these guys. They’re keeping track of it. We bought notebooks today. But I want to explain a little bit of the words I used in order to help them understand this. Some of the words that I used. We talked about the subconscious and the conscious mind, and I related the subconscious mind to soil, like just land.
But I put it in a plant, and I drew it on the board, and I showed them how if their subconscious mind was like the soil, completely ready for planting in a potted plant, how whatever seed that the conscious mind puts into it, whatever seed is planted in a potted plant, it grows.
So they understand, I hope they understand that that’s … Oh, maybe I should hold the camera like this. I hope they understand that that’s why this program works. Because paying attention to whatever seed is planted in a land, you know the soil doesn’t care what you plant in there. It will grow.
Kids questionnaire
Dianna: If you plant seeds in your mind, what will it grow?
Amrin: It will grow whatever you plant.
Dianna: Right. So what could it be?
Amrin: Nightshade, but don’t plant nightshade.
Dianna: Nightshade is …
Amrin: Poison.
Dianna: Poison. So we don’t.
Amrin: Poison is bad.
Dianna: Right. So if we plant something like nightshade in the pot, it will grow. Just like if we plant poison or negative thoughts in our … in our what?
Amrin: Mind.
Dianna: In our mind. Right. So we don’t want to plant negative things in our mind, right? Is that right?
Amrin: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: I think I’m gonna turn around so you can stop playing with yourself. So. What have you, what do you think, what are you doing right now? What’s your goal right now? What are you doing in your notebook?
Amrin: I had to look at my notes.
Dianna: No, you’re not looking at your notes. What did you spend time today doing?
Amrin: Oh, writing my wants list.
Dianna: Your want list. Okay.
Amrin: Soon it’s going to turn into a goals list and I can only have one goal.
Dianna: Why are we working on one goal at a time? Well let’s switch to Aveya. Hold one. We’re going to switch to Aveya. Okay Aveya, so you have your own want list, right? And then, what are you going to do with that?
Ah’Vaiah: I’m gonna turn my want list into. I’m gonna take one and I’m gonna turn it into one goal.
Dianna: One goal. Okay. So what are we going to do with that goal?
Ah’Vaiah: We’re gonna look at it every day and every night. And we’re gonna imagine it. And we’re gonna read over it a bunch of times. And when we do that, we’ll get what we want.
Dianna: Do you know, do you remember why that works? I know you’ve only had two lessons, but can you tell me why the, like you said, going over it all the time, why it works?
Ah’Vaiah: Because whatever you plant in your subconscious mind goes to your conscious mind.
Dianna: Oh, you got it backwards again.
Ah’Vaiah: I can’t do that. So the conscious mind.
Dianna: What did you just say? You said I can’t do that.
Ah’Vaiah: I can.
Dianna: I can do that. So.
Amrin: You can do it. You can do it.
Dianna: You can do it. You can do it. So. Whatever you plant in your conscious mind, goes into.
Ah’Vaiah: Your subconscious mind.
Dianna: Do you know a good way to remember this? Isn’t, aren’t there some planters that are sub-terraneums? You ever hear of those? Where it’s under. So think, just think of it that way. Sub is under. So we gotta get our thoughts from our conscious into our subconscious. Think of it that way. Or a submarine. Where does a submarine go?
Ah’Vaiah: Under water.
Dianna: Underwater. So if we want to get our thoughts in, where do we put them?
Ah’Vaiah: We put them in our subconscious?
Dianna: Yeah, very good. You put them in your subconscious. Excellent. So do you know why this works? Can you tell me why this works?
Ah’Vaiah: Because whatever you put in your conscious mind, it goes down to the subconscious mind, then it plants there and grows in your conscious.
Dianna: It grows. Exactly. You are able to form
Ah’Vaiah: Form.
Dianna: Do you remember?
Ah’Vaiah: Form a plant?
Dianna: Form a plant. Not quite. We’re able to form new habits. Right? Because the more you think about it, what happens?
Ah’Vaiah: It grows.
Dianna: It grows. So that means you do it more. So last question. And I know this has been a little hard, and I really appreciate this. Tell me why these new habits and these goals, should they be positive or negative words?
Ah’Vaiah: Positive.
Dianna: Positive. Because, every seed we plant
Ah’Vaiah: Grows.
Dianna: Exactly. So if you want good seeds, if you want good thoughts, if you want good actions to grow, you’ve got to plant good words. Is that right?
Ah’Vaiah: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: Are you excited?
Ah’Vaiah: Yeah.
Dianna: I’m excited, too. Alright, so, say sayonara.
Amrin: Sayonara.
Dianna: Say goodnight.
Ah’Vaiah: Goodnight.
Thank you for tuning in. We’ll keep you posted and also think about doing something fun like this for your kids to encourage them to have mindset shifts too!
and remember:
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!

Self Confidence and how I can help you
In this post today I want to do a complete talk right now about self confidence.
You know, I used to be super shy, and now, here I am on live video talking to lots of people, and how did that happen?
Well, if this is the first time you have visited my blog, my name is Dianna Good Sky, and I’d like to share a program with you today about something that I’ve learned. Honestly, it took me a lot of years to learn this, but there was a time that I used to be super shy, as a matter of fact, so shy that if I was alone and I needed something to eat, I wouldn’t go through the drive-through at a fast food by myself because I was worried that the workers would see that I was by myself and going to have to eat alone. That’s how shy I used to be.
And as a matter of fact, I could barely speak my opinion, no matter who it was I was speaking to, no matter what condition … Not what condition, what location I was at, I just couldn’t speak my mind. And even in 7th grade, this was a long time of shyness, I passed out in the 7th grade reading a five line poem to my classmates, literally passed out.
So, being shy for me, it was just always something that I was. My mom was super shy too, a lot of it I think was genetics, and a lot of it was just our environment, I think that I was just really super shy, and quiet, can you believe that? I was super quiet. No one who knows me now would say that they would guess that.
Listen to my video about how I built my self confidence…
How to gain Self Confidence
But how did I overcome this? Honestly, I said it took me a lot of years, and I overcame it because one day, I realized that I would not be able to really get what I wanted out of life, and I was really small thinking at the time, I was in the military and I had a certain … I was up for sale of the quarter board, and I didn’t win, even though I knew my work was outstanding. I gathered up the nerve, the gumption to ask one of the chiefs in the board and said, “Can you tell me why I didn’t win?”
Let me tell you, that took a lot, I had to work up to that, oh my gosh, I had to do so much self talk to just get to the point of being able to ask that chief; He was a senior chief actually; why I didn’t win the sale of the quarter, ’cause I just knew my work was outstanding.
And he told me, he said, “No one knew who you were. We all know who you are in operations, but no one else knows who you are in the other departments.” And that was when I said, oh my gosh, if I want to attain certain like sale of the quarter, and I knew that would be good for advancement and promotion, if I wanted to get to a certain point, I would need to step out of my comfort zone, start talking to more people and get myself known.
That was the start of my journey to getting more self confidence and stepping away from my shyness, and I did a lot of self talk, and like I said, it took years. But now, where I’m at now is I have learned so much about how to accomplish goals a lot quicker with more than self talk, and a lot quicker.
So, did you know that studies have shown that to develop new habits and therefore those habits that you can reach goals with, it takes between 20 and 60 days or something like that? So if you can develop new habits, you don’t have to take years to get out of your shyness, or you don’t have to take years to get to attain a new self confidence, you can absolutely with these steps that I’m going to give you in this new confidence course, you can have this self confidence in a much shorter amount of time.
I repeat, it took me years, and I still am very shy, I still am very shy. I will go to an event, and I kind of freak out, I don’t do well in a large setting, but I can, I can force myself to do it if I know that I have to do it, like go talk to somebody.
But ordinarily, you will find me still pretty quiet and standing in the corner, until I realize that in order to be able to meet new people and help others, that that’s what I need to do is get out and talk to them. But here’s what I have, I can help you gain self confidence with this short course.
Self Confidence Course to help you
My new short course, (the audio is less than 30 minutes long) there are some homework assignments for those of you that really want to understand the why’s and the wherefore’s, but doing the homework assignments will only get you through the process quicker and help set you up with a more solid foundation for how to build the self confidence.
And then once we’re done with that, then I have a planner that you can take with you and you can watch what happens over time with the assignments that are in this self confidence course.
Now, what is that worth? I have no idea. What I do know is that I’m closing the doors on the self confidence course on the Bold Confidence Club very soon, because I’ve opened it up just for a short time for some beta testers, I want to make sure that it’s very good, very clean, and work out all the glitches.
So, I’m closing these doors very soon, if you really want in or if you know anybody that might want to increase their self confidence, or even to develop a new habit of increasing self love and their self image, hit the share button and share it out to your friends and let them sign up while the doors are still open.
So, I just want to encourage you to sign up, this course is short, impact, and can be life changing if you let it, if you let it.
So, join the www.boldconfidenceclub.com right now, and we will see you on the other side. I welcome you and we will have a separate group, I’ll be doing Q and A’s inside that group, you’ll get direct access to me during this course.
But, I’m super excited for it, because if I would have had this when I was 20, imagine where I would have been, imagine what could have been accomplished.
So, share it out, subscribe to the broadcast. And even if you do have a good amount of self confidence, even if you’re not shy, come on in and play along in the club, because you might just learn something.
Thank you again for reading this post and watch my video and if you want more self confidence simply sign up to my new course HERE right now!
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,

What’s on your mind and what does it matter?
I’m going to take a few minutes to talk to you about how important “what’s on your mind” to you.
I would say that I’ve been doing a lot of learning, a lot of studying, and I believe that studying something, if we wanna learn more about it, it’s the only way we’re really gonna learn, really studying, I mean diving in. And that’s what I’ve been doing.
I’ve been absolutely studying the mindset and the importance of it, and how important your mindset really is.
And one of the things that has become very apparent to me is that no matter what’s on our mind it is what is on our mind that drives who we are, who we become, and what we do, ultimately. And so, even the littlest thing, the littlest bit of negativity can result in big changes or big effect to your day.
And therefore, to your life!
Tune in to my video to learn more…
Be mindful of what you feed your mind
I want to encourage you to be very, very mindful about what you put in your mind. And if you feel like there is anything negative coming on, do anything you can to stop it and say, “Okay, I don’t wanna go in that direction.” I do not wanna have a negative mindset, I do not wanna have a bad day.” So do whatever it takes.
You know one of the simplest ways to switch that around is to put on some good music. If you can have a certain set of tracks that you might wanna listen to when you wanna be, “Happy, Happy” by Feral Williams is a great one. Just find some good, happy music. Music has been shown to really affect your mind.
I wanna explain how this works, and I wanna give you a visual representation of how your mind works and how what you put into it affects who you are. I want you to imagine your mind as fertile soil. And fertile soil, it’s ready, it’s ready for things to be planted in it, whether it’s a tree, a fruit tree, vegetables.
Imagine your mind as fertile soil!
If you have fertile soil, whatever you plant in it is going to grow, that’s just the law. And whatever you take care of grows. You’ve gotta water that plant, and when you water it, it will absolutely grow. And in relation to the mind, when you plant something in your mind, you water it when you pay attention to it.
Does that make sense?
Here we are, we’ve got this fertile ground, our mind, it’s ready for planting, and if you were to take the fertile soil and you were to plant a poisonous tree …
Gosh darn it I’m really upset. I’m not really upset. See, that’s a negative thought. I’m gonna turn that thought around to, obviously that must have meant I was supposed to have better lighting. Oh, there we are. Okay, good. Yay.
If we put in a poisonous plant, then that poisonous plant is gonna grow. And then, you put the beautiful hydrangea bush. Guess what?
The hydrangea bush will grow, if that’s what you’re planting, and that’s what you nurture, and that’s what you take care of, and you water it daily.
Our mind is exactly like this. No matter what we plant in our mind, whatever we pay attention to, that’s exactly what grows. And that’s why it is so important to be mindful of what is on your mind, what is in your mind, and how to monitor your thoughts, how to watch your thoughts.
So, if you want disfortune or misfortune or ailments or bad stuff to happen, then that’s what you think about. So if you live in those negative worlds, that’s exactly what’s going to grow. And that’s how that works. You’ve got to think of your mind as fertile soil, and whatever you plant in it is what’s going to grow. That’s just the law. It’s the law.
I want to encourage you to remember that, and remember that every single time that you have a thought, that thought is a seed, and that thought planted in your mind is absolutely what’s going to grow. If you do not want it to grow, how do you do it? How do you kill a plant? How do you kill a poisonous plant?
Well, in real life, we spray RoundUp. Right?
That’s what we do. In real life, if there’s a weed that we don’t want growing. We gotta treat the bad thoughts in our mind like weeds. We gotta pluck them out. We gotta spray RoundUp on them. That’s how we get rid of those negative thoughts. And what happens then? It leaves more room for planting of good stuff.
For example today we are heading off to the gym, because we have planted in our mind that we want to be healthy and we are making the effort and taking the action to be healthy and that’s why we’re going to the gym right now.
So I hope I have got your to question yourself on ‘what’s on your mind‘ and have a beautiful day everyone and remember…
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,

What are affirmations and do they work?
Will they work for you, and how do they work, and what if you only wanted a new car?
What if that’s all you wanted was a new car? I’m here to tell you that I would like to let you know that there is a reason, a scientific reason that affirmations work. I’m not going to get into the science of it because I don’t need the science to understand it and I don’t think everybody does, but I will promise you that when you do affirmations they will work for you and I’m going to tell you how minus the science stuff, okay?
No science here. Listen to my video below as I explain more…
But this is what affirmations are.
Affirmations are simply a repeated statement to yourself and they work best if you look in the mirror when you say them, but they’re a statement of something that you may want to accomplish. We’re going to use the car as an instance.
Say you want a new car and an affirmation for a new car is I’m so happy and grateful now that I have my Lexus 300 whatever, I don’t know the names. I should’ve figured that out, or my Honda Odyssey 2017. My brand new 2017 Honda Odyssey.
Now, saying that in the present tense, how this works is that when you say it in the present tense, it allows you to start planting that in your head, okay? Even if it’s not true right away, what happens is your subconscious mind does not know the truth from a lie. It just doesn’t know it, so when you’re planting these seeds of your future truth, if you will, then you will have the ability to, I’m sorry, let me just share this real quick.
You’ll have the ability to really plant these seeds and foster these thoughts. These thoughts will then start to permeate your mind.
When you have these thoughts of the new car, even if it’s not true yet, what will happen is as you’re talking and as these thoughts start, as you’re saying it especially to yourself in the mirror, that’s the best way but you don’t have to have a mirror. But when you’re saying these things any time of day, the more you see it, it will be good to have cards of whatever your affirmation is and say them repeatedly. That plants those seeds. It waters the seeds. It provides fertilization for the seeds.
That seed then gets planted in your subconscious and then what happens is every single time you say that affirmation, when an opportunity comes about you will notice that it’s an opportunity whereas it’s kind of like your eyes are open to something that you may have not have noticed before, you know?
Example of how Affirmations can work
Yesterday, I will use this as an example. I have long envisioned myself as a speaker on a stage an I’ve spoken at some events. I realized that I wanted to up-level that so I started to do a bit more affirmation from the speaking point of view.
Yesterday, there was inside this very large group, there was a comment made or a post made about this event, and as I looked at it and I noticed that the speakers were not set yet, fully set, it occurred to me because of these affirmations that I had been repeating, that maybe I should reach out and maybe I should see about increasing my visibility by asking if she needs speakers.
Now, here’s what that affirmation worked with that, because having an affirmation that is continually in the forefront of your brain helps you see windows of opportunity that may have not existed before but were probably already there that you didn’t see, I should say. You didn’t see the opportunity there before, but because it’s on your brain, these things happen more and you see them more actually. You just see them more.
When something like that happens and you say, okay, now you’re going to take the action that will help make these affirmations come true. Do you see how this works? So the affirmations are repeated statements of something that you want to accomplish.
It can be a goal. It can be just anything. Like I said, a car. I’m so happy and grateful now that I have a 2017 Honda Odyssey brand new sitting in my driveway. It’s red. It’s got leather seats, and you can envision that.
But what will happen is repeating that all the time, you will notice things that will come up that you may not, that you just didn’t see before. That’s how the affirmations work and they can be used for anything. These repeated statements, they simply put it in your mind and they prompt you to take action.
If you need more money to buy a car, then more opportunities to make money will come up and you’ll recognize them as opportunities to make money to put down towards your car. Do you see that? It’s really quite simply, phenomenal and just it really works.
Affirmations can give us Confidence!
So, I was going through my course, my confidence course and I did it from start to finish. It’s only 30 minutes in total except for when you stop to do the homework. I have to tell you I’m very, very thrilled with it. I’m very proud of it. It’s 30 minutes long and it’s great. It’s a great course. I’ve got some cleaning up to do on it a little bit but part of that is we do include affirmations in this, and affirmations to increase self-confidence.
That’s how powerful that they are. I know that they work and again, they simply drive home to you what you need to be paying attention to and it helps you take action to make those things come true. That’s how they work. So whatever it is that you want.
If you want more information, let me know. Comment below if you have any questions about affirmation work. I’d love to help you.
I’m very excited and pleased about my Confidence Course and soon it will be getting released it to the public.
Thank you so much for reading this post and I hope you have learned more about what affirmations are and how affirmations work. Comment below if you’ve used them before, if you know how to use them and if you’ve had some results. I’d love to hear about it and even share some powerful affirmations you have written too!
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,
