Have you ever stopped thought about how you talk to yourself; I mean when no ones around, when no ones looking. When it’s just you and you; no friends, no family, no associates. Just you. Have you ever questioned the way you talk to yourself?
Although at times, people naturally have a negative self talk approach to life. In any scenario, they’re always thinking of the worst. Negative self talk can magnify all the negative things that are happening while canceling out the things to be grateful for or to look forward to. It can cause you to blame yourself for things that have nothing to do with you as well as the things that do.
It can ultimately take a toll on how you feel about yourself. If you talk to yourself long enough, you’re going to begin to believe those negative thoughts. It’s a sure way to a dark place of depression. Negative self talk will have you thinking you’re living the worst life imaginable. When in reality, you’re life isn’t that bad, it’s your perception.
What if you knew you had the power to change your perception? What if you chose to live a better life, treating your mind better than what you’re use to. If you believed you weren’t good enough in the past, today, you can believe that you are.
Mayoclinic.org has some incredible reasons why positive self talk matters. It was stated that researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
* Increased life span
* Lower rates of depression
* Lower levels of distress
* Greater resistance to the common cold
* Better psychological and physical well-being
* Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
* Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
It’s unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.
Thinking positively has huge effects on your lifestyle. If you become a positive thinker, you will get more done and live a happier life. You’re going to want to treat yourself. You’re going to want to give more and be more kind to others. You’re going to want to challenge yourself in a healthy way.
Nobody’s life is perfect but it’s possible to think your way into a positive life. So choose today that you will stop talking bad on yourself. Choose to be happy, think positive, and live well. Your life depends on it.
