Cut Back On The Negative; Self Talk and Learn To Be Kind to Your Mind!

People say, “You get affected by what others say to you, but you get vulnerable to what you say to yourself”! Why are we telling you this? Because believe us or not, your self-talk and affirmations shape your thought process. The choice of words you use and say to yourself are the essentials that make your life either prosperous or faulty.

Let’s break it down further for us to understand this better. For example- saying things like “I am horrible at time management! No wonder my life is a mess” or “No matter how much I try, I’m too lazy to hit the gym!

These statements come out from a pessimistic person who always conceives negativity first and positivity never.

Now let’s reverse the situation here, and let’s look at the difference. Saying things like “Maybe I should try putting reminders so that I don’t miss out on any important schedule, it might make a difference then” or “No matter what, I will start going to the gym from tomorrow, if not I will give up on ice-creams for a year”! These statements would come out from a more optimistic person who has a positive approach and daring to give up on something they love.

Just tweaking a few sentences and throwing a positive light to even the worst situations can bring your emotional consciousness in control. That, my friend, is the magnetism of constructive self-talk. It helps to deal with the situation better and be kind to yourself, which we feel is the least important.

Here are a few tips for cutting back on the negativity and inflicting positive self-talk, which will promote the overall quality of your life.

Switch Negative Notions To Positive Ones

It may take some time to get your subconscious mind to change the whole thinking pattern, but it needs to be given a push. Whenever you start talking about something that is not in your favour or against your healthy mindset, try to interrupt your opinions forcefully and divert it by saying something positive. It might seem pushy at first, but with repetition, it will come naturally to you.

Stay True To Your Feelings

Even though you are in the process of winning yourself to talk positively and stay motivated all the time, don’t forget to acknowledge your genuine emotions. It would help you differentiate what’s going wrong and how you can make it better with a positive mindset. It’s not only the positive self-talk that helps but also the approach to cope with the emotional turmoils.

Shove It Off With A Smile At Times

You don’t have to act like, “Oh god, why me! All the time! I mean, come on, give yourself a break!
It’s not like destiny has a personal grudge against you. Stop behaving like you are god’s favourite child, and only good things shall happen to you. Laugh at your miseries from time to time if they are not worth giving as much attention as you pay to them. It’s tough to keep a smiling face, but eventually, there shouldn’t be enough reasons for you to feel discouraged.

Practice The Ritual Of Positive Affirmations

This might sound a little unrealistic, but you cannot even imagine the incredible impact of constructive and positive affirmations. The more you hear yourself saying uplifting things, the more you start believing in it. It happens subconsciously, but it works like magic. Your mind will train itself to look at the positives as if the negativity does not even exist or if it’s a rare thing to happen!

Surround Yourself With Vibrant People

The people you choose to hang out with and spend most of your time, are the ones who furnish you with an impression about yourself. If you pick a company that lights up your mood, gives a sense of relief and lend all their ears to you when you are in a plight, that’s when you feel you have got people’s back. However, on the flip side, spending time with people who pull you down makes you feel inferior or worthless will never keep you in a good mood no matter how good you want to think of yourself.

You are enough for yourself; it’s just that we need to realize that sooner. We may be surrounded by many folks who give us numerous advice; however, what we say to ourselves matters the most.

There is nothing self-destructive than our evil thoughts. It makes us look like our own enemy. Everything arises with that one small voice we hear within our minds. Make sure that the voice is hopeful and gives you courage.
