Why Talking To Yourself Doesn’t Always Mean You’re Crazy!

How To Talk With Your Subconscious Mind

  • Self Talk is your subconscious mind talking to you, so listen up!
  • You can have positive self talk or negative self talk. 
  • Self talk can reveal the programming you received as a child. 

What Is Self Talk?                               

Self talk is how you talk to yourself throughout the day. It may be comprised of either positive statements, such as “I can do that…” or negative statements such as “I can’t do that…”

As a general rule, negative self talk is anything that puts you down or limits your actions, whilst positive self talk makes you feel good and motivates you.

Self talk usually originates from your childhood after repeated exposure to certain words or phrases, that were spoken by an authority figure (e.g. parents).

The most common form of self talk uses the phrase “I am such an idiot”, or something to that effect.

Self Talk Is Your Subconscious Mind Talking To You!

Recognising whether you use predominantly negative or positive self talk, will give you a good indication of the type of programming you received as a child.

This information can then be used to identify and highlight limiting beliefs you may have been unaware of. Think of self talk as your subconscious mind talking to you.

Positive self talk is extremely beneficial and will enhance the effects of future programming techniques. Once mastered, it will result in an attitude that anything is possible.

How Do I Master Self Talk?

There is nothing complicated about this technique. The biggest step is to realise that the way you talk to yourself is important. By reading this article you have already taken that step.

The next step is to identify negative words or phrases, that you frequently repeat to yourself.

This may take a week or longer, as you must let the words/phrases naturally appear because these will come directly from your subconscious mind.

Once you have identified your negative statements, make an effort to consciously replace them with positive statements.

This process provides you with an honest assessment of your subconscious mind, thereby allowing you to identify limiting beliefs.

By becoming consciously aware of these beliefs, you are then able to directly modify the subconscious mind by replacing previously stored information (put in by someone else) with new information (put in by you).

Although initially this will require conscious effort, with practice it will become automatic and a habit. When this occurs, it means you have successfully modified your subconscious mind!

Please do not underestimate the importance of self talk, as failure to master it will undermine future programming techniques.
