6. Power of Self talk
31st May 20 (Sunday)
Be mindful of your self-talk. It’s a conversation with the universe.
David James
Are you aware that you talk to yourself all the time? We all do. Our self-talk makes a huge difference in our lives for better or for worse. The question to ask yourself is whether your inner voice is your friend or not so good friend.
Our unconscious is impacted by the words we say in the same way that it is when other people talk to us. Thus, how we speak to ourselves can be a powerful tool.
Our thoughts influence our feelings, choices, and actions. Positive thinkers are more optimistic, confident, and successful. Their effect is contagious and uplifts friends and family.
Change your Self-Talk
Although we’ve grown accustomed these inner voices, they can be changed. It first requires our becoming more aware of them and developing mindfulness about our self-talk. There are several things you can begin doing immediately.
The Power of Words
The whole truth is that words are powerful. Words can be helpful, and words can be hurtful. Words have the power to inspire and encourage, and also to tear down and destroy. The interesting thing about the power of words is that they are powerful regardless of their source – meaning they are powerful no matter whoever says them, including if they are words said to ourselves. This kind of talk, from oneself to oneself, is called self-talk and is extremely powerful.
Positive self-talk is encouraging and has a positive connotation. It may be uplifting, encouraging, and optimistic. On the other hand, negative self-talk is pessimistic, cynical, and can be damaging. Neutral self-talk is neither positive or negative, but instead may be informative or instructive.
