THE POWER OF SELF TALK-PART 1

The word ‘self-talk’ may sound funny to start with for it might evoke a picture of someone walking down a busy street talking to himself in a nutty kind of way. Of course this is not so.

Actually we all talk to ourselves all the time but on a subconscious level. We may not be aware of it but a lot of actions and decisions we take are a result of subconscious self-talk.

We think no one will hear what we talk within our mind , If we see a person or in a situation we say or Talk within ourselves in the mind with reference to the opinion  we have about that person or situation, There will be a continuous internal dialogue going in the mind.

The problem with most of us is that we aren’t aware of the impact of our own thinking on our lives, our health ,our circumstances, and indeed, on our own minds. If you tell yourself (frequently) that you or your life circumstances are getting worse in some way,watch out! You’re programming that thought to come true whether you want it to or not.

In order to examine your own thinking, first consider what you are saying all day long as you continuously talk to yourself. Notice the words you use, become aware of the sentences you form in your mind, especially pay attention to those words and thoughts which come up automatically again and again.

You can do anything you want to do within your own mind. Think about how you would like to have things go and re-program your self-talk to insure that this outcome will occur.

First things first. Let’s examine our own self-talk.
You’ve got to catch yourself in the act of talking away. Not to pass judgment, blame, or “make yourself wrong” but simply to create an awareness of your self-talk. Once you notice a particular habitual thought pattern, examine it as if from a distance. Step back, be objective, and consider whether or not that thought serves your best interests, or sabotages your future outcomes.

Do YOU recognize any of the following statements as your own?
“I can’t remember.” “I always forget.” “I have a terrible memory.” “My mind is going, I must be getting old.” “I’m so stupid.” “I can never remember names.” “I’m just no good at remembering things anymore.” “I may as well give up, I’ll never be able to remember that anyway.” “There I go again; I do this every time.”

Emerging research shows that there are indelible links between what we say to ourselves and what happens to us.“What we put into our brains is what we will get back out”. Whether we realize it or not, we’ re all engaged in a nearly constant subconscious dialogue with ourselves.

Our behavior, feelings, sense of self-esteem, and even our level of stress are influenced by our inner speech.

The subconscious will work hard to manifest whatever you tell it. So if you are frequently programming your mind with statements such as “I’m becoming more forgetful all the time” or “I can never remember names” or “I keep forgetting where I put things” – you’re increasing the probability that it will all become what’s true for you. You are implementing the law of the “self fulfilling prophesy”.

What you expect to happen is far more likely to happen. The brain is like a computer and a computer’ s capabilities are strictly determined by its programming. Program it poorly and GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out); program it properly, and it’s at your service for accomplishing incredible things…………….. to be continued
