Positive Self-Talk

What is meant by positive self-talk?

Too often, we send ourselves negative messages:

"I never have been able to do that."
"I am just a�"
"I always mess up."
"I have always had problems taking tests."
"I am always late."

Do you see a pattern here?

• Negative self-talk is often used to take away the threat of someone else saying those things to you.
• Negative self-talk is often used as an excuse for your short comings.
• Negative self-talk is remembered much more easily than the positive self-talk.
• If you have practiced negative self-talk most of your life, you will need to work hard to change that habit-and it is a habit.
• In order to break a bad habit, you need to replace it with a good habit, and to do that, you need to practice the new, good habit regularly and over time.

Check out the Top 10 Tips for Creating Positive Self-Talk, and start your new positive you.
