Concerning Self Talk – Everything Laid Out

7th May, 2009 - Posted by health news - No Comments

You are in all probability well aware, if you’ve been looking into self-talk, or autosuggestion, for any amount of time, that there is no shortage of opinions, stories, information (both solid and in doubt), and discussion being thrown around online. There is no shyness about sharing from people from every perspective and in every online venue imaginable – social networks, forums, blogs, and more. The thing is, however, that an insider’s guide is what you really need. Speaking from experience comes from intimitate knowlege, and someone with that is what you have here. It’s kind of like fitness – wouldn’t you trust the word of someone with a personal trainer certification over the word of a layperson?

Is your information trustworthy? If not, it’s worthless. If you are basing your thoughts, opinions, and plans on faulty data, then you are building your entire enterprise on a faulty foundation. When a not working basis is what you have, being doomed to failure is the only potential outcome for anything you have based on it, because it comes from something unstable. It’s like niche marketing – you need to have the correct information.

With autosuggestion, or self-talk, you want to be especially careful about what information to trust, because you are going to do things with that information that will be precisely effecting your brain, thought processes, emotions, and decision making. The first thing to keep in mind when doing autosuggestion, is to carefully examine each phrase that you will be repeating to yourself. Is it TRULY something you want to speak into your life? Is it specific? Is it something you have control over? Remember, this isn’t witchcraft, it isn’t a spell. You can’t utilize it to make someone else love you or make peace on earth happen. Your self talk needs to be phrased in the first person. Also, lastly and MOST significantly, it needs to be phrased in the positive and not the negative. For instance, if you say “I don’t hate exercise anymore,” all your subconsious picks up on is the “hate” and “exercise” – it’s not sophisticated enough to comprehend that “don’t” is supposed to make the statement opposite. You need to phrase it as “I love exercise.” If you want to know how to get rid of cold sores, you have to phrase it as “I am free of cold sores.”

Now that you have had the experience of reading the perspective of someone who really knows of which they speak, you have insider information in your arsenal. You are privy to the opinion of someone who really knows what they are talking about, so you are in a unique position to make knowledgeable choice. Now, you just need to formulate a plan and put it into action using this information. After all, knowledge is useless unless it’s backed up by action. To have truly benefited, you need to take this newfound knowledge and put it to use in your life.
