Is Negative Self Talk Harmful?

If you are like every human being on this planet, you talk to yourself negatively many times a day.  You say things to yourself like:

  • I am so stupid, I should have known that...
  • I can't remember names...
  • I always make mistakes...
  • I am not good at this...
  • Etc...

Did you know that these are recorded by your subconscious mind and are reinforced each time you talk to yourself this way,?  The more you repeat these suggestions the more it becomes who you are,your reality.  So when you tell yourself you can't remember names... guess what... it becomes your reality and you have difficulties remembering names.

The goal is to pay attention to your thoughts and correct your self-talk when you notice you talk negatively to yourself.  Once you notice, just say "STOP" and rephrase your sentence in a more beneficial way.  For example:  I can't remember names... STOP, I may not remember the name now but I know it is recorded in my mind and it will come to me very soon.  Another example: I am not good at this... STOP, I am not mastering this new tool however it won't be long until I am a pro at it.

So, notice your self-talk and your life and reality will improve very fast!

See you soon
