Understanding Your Inner Self Talk for Success in Life
Your inner self talk can make a huge difference in your happiness, success, productivity and your life as a whole. You likely heard the old saying that you can easily talk to yourself, but when you begin to answer yourself, there’s a problem.
Actually, that’s far from the truth. Because by listening you will learn to understand your self talk ‘inner voice’ which can actually be very useful to your well-being.
By listening to your inner voice you may get a clue that you’re experiencing a wave of negative behavior. Or maybe feeling depressed or that something is not right in your life.
Tune In to Your Inner Voice
Tuning in to your self-talk can help you analyze it and then you can begin to correct the negative talks you’re giving yourself. All it involves is periodically pausing and asking yourself, “What am I telling myself at this minute?” This is especially helpful if you do it when you’re anxious or unhappy about something.
After you understand a bit of what and how you’re bombarding yourself with negative thoughts. Then you can begin to anticipate what you might say to yourself during certain situations and “rewrite” the dialog, turning them into more positive thoughts.
If the negative self talk dialog doesn’t quite go the way you planned it in your mind, you can change the dialog as you go. This is how we rewire our brain for change.
As long as you understand that you’re telling yourself certain things (true or not) that might change the outcome of a situation. Or, you can adjust your self-talk to turn a very difficult situation into one where you’re successful.
Turn Negative Inner Self Talk in to Positive
The way you use your inner self voice makes a difference in whether your life is filled with positive messages or negative ones. If you’re feeling depressed or feel that your self confidence is low, it’s time to listen to what you’re telling yourself.
You may immediately see what you’re doing or you may need to write down some of these thoughts and analyze them later.
Also, think of how others may see you and hear you when you’re going through the negative self-talk. You may be manifesting your negativity through your dealings with others and you need to know that it will change others’ perspective of you. It will definitely change your perspective of yourself.
