In today's competitive professional world, the weight of self-doubt can be soul-crushing and a significant barrier to career advancement.

The constant barrage of negative thoughts, questioning our abilities and worth, can hinder professional growth and dampen our spirit.

But what if there was a way to combat this negativity and elevate both our personal and professional lives?

Years ago, during the early days of my news career, I was all too familiar with the storm of negativity.

Every setback felt like a personal failure, and every mistake was a testament to my perceived inadequacies.

Then, one fateful day while driving home from work, I happened upon a transformative message from Joel Osteen.

He introduced the concept of "deleting" negative thoughts, a mindset strategy that could have many benefits and boost professional productivity.

The idea was beautifully simple: confront each negative thought with a mental "delete" command. 

Taking this to heart, I embarked on a 30-day challenge, a mindset reset that can be a game-changer for professionals.

Each time negative thoughts threatened to consume me, I'd mentally "delete" it.

I took Joel’s advice a step further by visualizing the negative thought being discarded into the trashcan on my mental desktop and then I'd immediately replace it with a positive affirmation.

The initial days were challenging, but as time passed, a shift occurred. My mind began to prioritize positivity over negativity, automatically replacing detrimental thoughts with uplifting ones, a key to professional success.

This transformation can be likened to the drone bee's role in a beehive.

If a drone bee becomes complacent, nature ensures it's removed, allowing only the diligent to thrive. Similarly, our minds should be a haven for robust, positive thoughts, with no room for negativity, especially in a competitive professional environment.

Our minds are reservoirs of untapped potential.

To harness this potential, we must shield it from negativity.

I challenge you to undertake the 30-day "delete" practice, a professional development tool that can set you apart.

In today's fast-paced business world, the dialogue you have with yourself is critical.

Ensure it's a positive one.

By transforming your thoughts, you can revolutionize your life and career growth.
