"Changing your self image
can change your life.
Changing your self image begins
with changing your Self
Talk."
Dr. Jim
Will
Are you talking yourself
into achieving less than your potential in
life? Oh, not consciously, of course, no
one would do that purposely. But with
your Self Talk, you may be doing it, just the
same.
In recent
years, we have come to understand more about
the relationship between our Self Talk and
our actions. It has become clear
how strongly the outcomes of our daily lives
are influenced by our Self Talk-what we say, or
think, to ourselves.
Sometimes our
thinking, guided by our Self
Talk, empowers us to do things that seem
impossible. Sometimes it
sabotages the very success we seek. Most
importantly, I've learned that we can
control our thinking by choosing to control our
Self Talk. This Self Talk is the
"programming" that shapes our self image,
and our self image, more than any other factor,
determines our "limits" in life.
Our thoughts can determine what we
believe about ourselves. Our
beliefs, in turn, can
determine whether we succeed
or fail in many areas of our
lives. When we control our Self
Talk, we also control many things that happen
to us.
This goes far
beyond positive thinking
because it focuses on stopping the negative
Self Talk, that, if unchecked, undermines any
positive thoughts you might have. You can
replace negative Self
Talk with positive
statements that are targeted to help you
succeed. Your chances for
improved success are high and are real, if you
use the principles in The Power of
Self Talk. The principles
in my book are tested and have helped many,
many people over a number of years.
In the Self
Talk Toolkit, you will
explore how to increase and encourage positive,
helpful Self Talk and how to banish
negative Self Talk. Control of
Self Talk is essential. If we
allow negative Self Talk to continue, our brain
tends to ensure that the negative thoughts
become our reality.
The first step in
controlling Self Talk is to become
aware of it. Once we are aware
of what we are saying, we can change our Self
Talk, if we want to. Change is
possible for us all, and it can be
easy. If we want to change our Self Talk,
we can make changes in our lives
immediately! It doesn't have to be a
long, drawn-out
process.
By
changing and controlling your Self
Talk, you can learn how to create comfort
zones and self images that work for
you!
Self talk,
self-esteem, and self-confidence are
interlinked in such a way as to produce the
results you achieve in life.
For much
of my career as a consultant to
individuals and corporations, I
have studied the high
performer to understand the
components that create success in
life.
Take the
famous example of the runners who sought to
break the once "impossible" four-minute mile.
For many years this goal seemed beyond man's
abilities. Then, one individual beat that
record and proved that it could be done. Soon,
dozens of runners embraced a new Self Talk
and were able to beat that mark, and now,
many years later, it is commonplace.
Think about it for a
moment. What really are our
"limits"?
