Yes, the most important person in your life is listening to you.
Self-talk is internal conversation with yourself, like your own personal chatter. In order to be open to beneficial opportunities, and have a positive outlook on life, yourself, and others, you must avoid using negative self-talk.
Here are some examples of self-talk:
Negative Self-Talk
I can’t do this
I’m not good enough
I am too ______ (short, slow, untrained) to ever complete this goal
Positive Self-Talk
I am able to do or learn this
I am good enough
I will figure out how to compensate for ______ to achieve this goal
Make a conscious effort to monitor the way you process information. If you are constantly dwelling on past issues and using negative words to describe yourself, or your goals, you must make a habit of retraining your brain. Self-talk actually sends messages to your subconscious brain to form habits that coincide with what you are thinking.
If you continue to use the same negative self-talk, your subconscious will keep your habits aligned with the familiarity of past (and possibly bad) habits. On the flip side, using positive self-talk aids in reprogramming your brain to start forming goal-oriented habits.
