Positive Self TalkMany of you already know that our thoughts and self talk determine how we deal with day to day situations. Did you know our thoughts and speech reflect our attitude. Think about that. Then realise that your choice of words reflect just how you think and what you think is what you get. At MindStore we look at Extraordinary people throughout history for examples of the characteristics of success. One of them is this ability to have an unshakable positive attitude. Think of Richard Branson, of Churchill, of Obama… Can you see that they don’t do negativity; they don’t go there they don’t waste their time with it. They are aware of negative thoughts and constantly delete them and replace them with positive alternatives, they are training their minds. Remember the phrase “change you thinking change your life” Extraordinary people see positive in everything, there glass would be overflowing if you asked them. We now know that negativity drains our energy and we live in a culture where negativity is so easy to indulge in, often without a realization. Negativity comes from within our own self talk, from our talk to others and when other talk to us, it is also abundant in the news on the TV, radio and internet. You see the one thing about positive thinking and negative thinking is this, that positive thinking on its own isn’t guaranteed to work,But negative thinking always works. Always As the great Henry ford said “if you think you can’t or think you can, you’re absolutely right”
So think positive Always. Take 10 minutes to complete the exercise below and begin to change what you say to a more positive alternative. |
Replacing Negative words and phrases with more Positive alternativesThis short simple exercise can make remarkable changes in your attitude and thinking. Take 10 minutes to do this exercise in a quiet part of your day. Give yourself time to really think. Write down 7 negative words or phrases that you remember hearing yourself saying. Then think about each one and replace it with a more positive alternative. For many the second part is harder. Examples: I am going to be late for …. replace with I will be on time for …. Problem replace with Challenge
EXERCISE:
Grab a sheet of paper, set 10 minutes on your smart phone timer.
Think of negative words or phrases you hear yourself say to others, that people say to you, or more importantly the inner voice what you say to yourself.
Write them down.
Now think of more positive alternatives. Like the 2 examples above, this can be challenging for some the first time.
Finally keep this list and decide to change your language to more positive alternatives, and see the difference in your communication with others and yourself over the next month.
Those on the quarterly planner and mentoring program have this exercise printed in the planners, do it each month and notice the change. Think about this, at the end of the year you will have replaced at least 40 negative words or phrase with more positive alternatives.
Note: If you would like assistance with this or have any questions feel free to drop me an email. I will respond to you.
