What You Say To Yourself Matters

Self-Talk

Sefl-talk can be the most negative thing we listen to all day. Think about some of the things you say to yourself. Wow we would never say such things to others.

I haven't posted here in a while as I've been pushing hard this past few days to accomplish or get closer to finishing the goals I'd set for January.

One of my goals, a while ago I was down three books from what I wanted to get read this month. I am happy to report that I will achieve that goal all three books will be read.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens..... Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and the one I'll finish tonight is Negative Self-Talk & How to Change It. by Shad Helmstetter, PH. D. which is a follow-up to his Great Book entitled What To Say When You Talk to Your Self.

So you can see where the thoughts to write this post came from.

Actually, it was a post earlier today that got me to thinking about what I say to myself to stop the negative self-talk. And this is something I've done for years. So I wanted to share with the WA community. As I truly love my WA family.

"Makes No Difference"

Every time I realize that I'm having a negative thought or I'm saying I'm UNABLE TO DO SOMETHING, .....I was taught and I believe it was from Shad's first book, but I lost that book in a fire we had and not one of my lost library books that I've replaced. Anyway ...that's another story. Here goes I say this ..... " makes no difference."

Now I say this to myself....three times... my daughter tells me I sometimes say it out loud. So " makes no difference" ...makes no difference"..... "makes no difference".

They, in the psychology world I believe they call it pattern interrupting yourself. So, I for one want you to know this really works.

You are welcome to use my pattern interrupt words or pick your own. Try for a week it will blow your mind. You will be shocked how many times in a week you talk negative to yourself.

WA friends I just wanted to share.

I've still got a lot to try to get done in just a few days to reach some more of my goals.

Best to All

No Negative Self-Talk
