Nadal rewrites the history books at Roland Garros

Neither rain, a court invasion nor the very best that David Ferrer could muster prevented Rafael Nadal from writing a new chapter in the history books in Paris on Sunday. The Spaniard’s straight sets win over his Davis Cup teammate made him the only player in history to win the same Grand Slam eight times, and his 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory was his 59th at Roland Garros, another record. Nadal has only been beaten once in nine years on the Paris clay, when Robin Söderling achieved what nobody else had before or since in the fourth round. A record of one win in his previous 16 matches against Nadal going into the final did not bode well for Ferrer.

Unleash Your Power with I AM Affirmations

“I am” is the most powerful statement you can make. It is a declaration. The trouble starts when we use “I am” in a negative way – but you can learn to speak in a way that honors who you are, empowers you, and helps you create the circumstances you want, by using I Am affirmations.

The words you think and speak are creative forces. How many of your thoughts and words are negative – creating unwanted circumstances – and how many are positive? Do you even know?

Before doing anything else, it’s important to get an idea of what your inner speech is like and become aware of how you speak to others. Use the Silva Method 3-to-1 or 5-to-1 countdown technique to get into the alpha brainwave state. Then, when your mind is more relaxed, ‘sit back and listen’ to your inner chatter. Let your mind ramble on about anything it wants to. To keep from getting involved in a thought, say “Stop” when a thought is finished. That will ‘reboot’ your mind and it will come up with another topic. Just take note of which statements are negative and which are positive.
