Self talk

If you believe in the power of words, then imagine the power of your own self talk. Throughout the day you are reinforcing self-fulfilling prophecy through the messages you give yourself. What are those messages? Are you sending ones that are positive such as, "I am proud of myself for the work I have done" or "I am glad to be alive." Or are they more in the negative category such as, "I can never do anything right" or "I just seem to have the worst luck." All of these messages are fodder for what feeds the results of what the Universe will send your way for it responds without judging beyond your words. It is therefore necessary to weigh your thoughts as they pertain to your self talk. Choose today to begin to notice what you say to yourself. If need be, keep a small notebook with you to write down what these messages are. Then at the end of the day review them and decide which ones you need to change. Turn the negatives into positives. Instead of saying, "I can never do anything right," try substituting, "I give my best effort to what I do." Then watch what happens after a few days of doing this. What does your self talk sound like?
