Because “You are What You Say (aloud and inside your mind),”<\/strong><\/em> and because positive self talk has the power to increase self-confidence, reduce stress and basically make your life infinitely more enjoyable, sending ripples of happiness throughout your world, I invite you to ….<\/p>\n

Get Hip to Your Self Talk.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 You may or may not be aware of your self-talk.\u00a0 Is it primarily positive, or negative?\u00a0 Are you sure?\u00a0 Here follow a few strategies that can help you become more aware of your inner dialogue.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AWARENESS is the first step.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Write It<\/strong>.\u00a0 At night and in the morning, jot dot a general summary of your thoughts.\u00a0 Today is; today will be; today was …\u00a0 Don’t judge it; just let it rip and then read it.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Stop It<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s as simple as that!\u00a0 When you hear yourself saying something negative … STOP yourself in your tracks by saying “Stop!”\u00a0 It’s more powerful to say it aloud.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (I said \u201csimple,\u201d not \u201ceasy.\u201d)<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Snap It.<\/strong>\u00a0 I’ve heard that some people wear a rubber band around their wrist, and when they hear themselves saying something negative, they snap it!\u00a0 I don’t know how I feel about it, but if you are really deep into negativity, you might want to snap it!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Neutralize It<\/strong>.\u00a0 When you catch yourself saying something negative, turn it around.\u00a0Instead of “I can’t do it,” say “I don’t now how.”\u00a0 “Instead of “I’m in pain,” say, “I am experiencing discomfort.” Instead of today was an awful day, say, “today was trying and the best part of it was _____.”<\/p>\n
