Stop the Negative Self Talk
We all engage in self talk. On average, research shows that each person's self talk is around 100-150 words per minute or an astounding 45-51,000 thoughts per day. Self talk in and of itself is not a problem. It is a huge problem though if any portion of that self talk is negative.
Habitual negative self talk essentially force feeds negative suggestions into your subconscious mind. Right now, I want you begin to start paying close attention to your self talk. Over a period of a few days, you will get a pretty clear idea of just how much of your self-talk is negative.
The reason this is so important is because your self talk is self-fulfilling. What does that mean? It means that what you are force feeding into your subconscious about yourself that is negative, sometimes several times a day, you will experience in your reality.
By becoming consciously aware of and analyzing the contents of self talk, you might well find the key to why you are not experiencing success, happiness, joy and fulfillment not only in general in your life but in your relationships as well.
Are you repelling love as a result of your negative self talk? You just might be! Do you ever say things to yourself like, "Gosh, I feel like I will never meet the love of my life" or, "it seems like all the good ones are taken and I only meet the available ones that are jerks," or whatever versions of these that suit your particular speech pattern and vocabulary.
Even if you are just saying those things out of frustration, they are being influenced by your subconscious conditioning and your continued mindless negative self talk simply continues to validate these beliefs and turn them into self-fulfilling prophecies.
It is a vicious cycle that will perpetuate itself until you become consciously aware of and don't allow the negative self talk any more. If you find yourself engaged in negative self talk, simply and gently remind yourself that you choose not to do that any more and say something nice to yourself instead.
Being consciously aware allows you to observe your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past which will change your future results.
