We all have said a negative thing or two about ourselves.  But do we believe it?

 

Think about how you talk to yourself. Do you say things like I’m so stupid, I can’t do this, I’m not good at anything, I’m too fat, too tall, or too short, I’m not very attractive; or what about I will never amount to anything? These words are negative self-scripts that someone once said to you. You have now held these self-deprecating remarks to be true about yourself.

 

Repeating these and other types of negative scripts reinforce negative behavior and only deminish your self-worth and self-confidence.

 

To overcome this mindset, try replacing the negative self-talk with some positive self-talk. Identify all of your accomplishments, no matter how great or small you may think they are and celebrate them.  Replace the negative self-scripts with positive words such as: I have everything I need, I can do this, I feel energetic and excited about my life and I welcome new possibilities, I am an attractive, intelligent person with unique gifts and talents. 

 

Don’t be surprised if these words feel awkward at first.  They might feel completely foreign to you. You might feel like you are just making these things up, they aren’t really true, but what you are doing is reprogramming your mind to counter everything you have come to believe to be true about you. 

 

The more you practice your positive self-talk, the more you’ll connect with your Higher Self and reveal your true authentic self.  It’s this connection that will ultimately silence your negative self-talk for good.
