Talking To Myself

Talking To Myself
Did you know that you talk to yourself all day long?

No, not the mental chatter about activities and chores that you need to remember throughout the day. That’s a form of self-talk too, but I’m referring to the things you say to yourself on a regular basis; and more importantly, the tone you use when you say them.

When you make a mistake, do you berate yourself angrily? Do you put yourself down or call yourself derogatory names?

When you have a hard time making positive changes in your life, do you bemoan what a “worthless” person you are and conclude that you can’t do anything right?

Negative self-talk can be incredibly damaging to your self-esteem, especially if it is a big part of your daily life. When you keep saying things like that to yourself, eventually you begin to BELIEVE them!

Most often these negative messages begin as statements uttered by the adults in your life when you were a child. They may have said something negative about you when your actions displeased them, or perhaps they had a habit of saying unkind things even when you didn’t deserve it.

As painful as these experiences can be, it is even worse when you pick up where they left off and keep repeating the same negative messages to yourself over and over!

The good news is that you can change your “self-talk” any time you want. The first step is to become aware of the tone of your messages and consciously replace them with more encouraging ones.

You are the one person in your life that has the opportunity to be your greatest support and be the fuel that fosters the attainment of everything you desire. Don't forget that, if you make less of yourself, you will only have less YOU in the end. … ;o)

Love posting to themes? You might enjoy these great themes with excellent curators! Themes and hashtags are not necessarily about getting more attention, but are a valuable indexing method, which help others find relevant posts via clickable links as well as a great way to meet like-minded people. I tend to only promote those themes with active, caring curators.
