How To "Self Talk" Your Way To Success?
Dear Friends,
All human beings have a unique ability right from birth, the
ability to "think" and express his/her thoughts in the form of
"speech", "written words" etc..
There are some individuals who can not speak because of the
disabilities in the vocal mechanism of the body. But there is no
individual on this planet who can't think.
Thoughts are the primary source of any kind of expression. Some
thoughts are "reactions" to certain events in everyday life.
According to ancient Indian medicinal studies called "Ayurveda",
the quality of thoughts differs by the change in the quality of
food we eat.
That's the reason why in ancient India, Knights and his armour
were given food which would arouse them for fighting against the
enemies.
These thoughts which we think everyday, have a major impact on
our personalities and decides the actions we would take in
future.
There is a common saying that "You Are What You Think You Are"
and its true. If you change the way to think or talk to
yourself, you can immediately start becoming a new person.
However self-talk doesn't necessarily mean talking loud, it
includes your thoughts also, because as said above thoughts are
the primary source of any expression.
Now how to use self-talk for maximum results?
If you observe closely every human being is always talking to
himself. Even when you are reading these words, your mind will
immediately try to judge the trueness or usability of the
content outlined here. These springing back of thoughts is what
makes you what you are right now.
This is true with any situation good or bad for you. This means
that if you gain control over the reaction of your mind during
various events happening in everyday life, you can easily
"choose" the reactive thoughts, which would paint a different
picture of you.
But this requires good concentration abilities and may not be a
practical solution, though is possible.
That's why there are many more good techniques to carry out and
feed your mind with productive thoughts which work for you.
Some of these methods are, using index cards and pasting them at
places where they can be seen frequently, using audio tapes or
CD's with affirmative messages.
By using these techniques the process of feeding your mind with
positive affirmations becomes almost automatic. As you live your
everyday life with regular routine the affirmative index cards
keep on feeding you mind with messages written on them, without
even disturbing you or any extra efforts from your part.
Audio tapes also have a very good response rate with those have
used them for self improvement.
The key to success with self talk is the words which you use in
the self talk. Writing a good self talk is an art and can be
mastered wit a little practice
