Self-talk is basically your inner voice, the voice in your mind which
says things that you do not necessarily say out loud. It can be a subtle
running commentary going on in the background of your mind. It is very black
and white - positive self-talk will help your performance, negative self-talk
will worsen it.
Positive
self-talk is the stuff that makes you feel good about
yourself and the things that are going on in your life. It is like having an
optimistic voice in your head that always looks on the bright side. Positive
affirmation statements are short statements designed to enhance self-image,
help you achieve a secure mental attitude and increase confidence.
Take, for e.g.
• "I am the greatest."
• "I am prepared and ready to go."
• "I am relaxed."
• “I am in total control.”
• "I believe in my ability to succeed."
Changing your self-talk is going to play a big role in increasing your
chance for successful performances on a more consistent basis. Nothing is good
or bad, but thinking makes it so. The important first step in this process is
monitoring your own thoughts; the next step is controlling them. If you are
able to control your thoughts, you can accomplish more than you were aware of -
the task is a hard one, but more than worth the effort. By working on getting
more positive self-talk, you are more likely to get things done and feel more
in control of all that is going on in your life. The more you work on improving
your self-talk the better you will get. It is like practising an instrument or
going to sports training, it will not be easy to start with but will get better
with time.
Just 2 – 3 minutes of your time in the entire week to follow them if
it appeals to you. I am sure it will invoke you for personal
effectiveness. You may circulate it further to your associates, peers and
friends.
Affirmations to inspire boost and brighten your day in the most positive way!!
I wish you a wonderful week-end; and the week-ahead.
