Nearly everybody talks to themselves, whether they admit it or not.&nbsp; Even those who are adamant that they don\u2019t will most likely have an internal dialogue running in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you talk to yourself, what do you say?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m often surprised by the number of people who aren\u2019t consciously aware of talking to themselves; it\u2019s simply as natural to them as breathing.&nbsp; But sadly, in some cases, their self-talk only emphasises their long-held insecurities and holds them back from living their lives to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way we use self-talk matters.&nbsp; Often, we engage in it more when we face obstacles in life and work, which means the words you use can have a powerful effect on your self-esteem.&nbsp; And if you keep saying the same things over and over again, you\u2019re more likely to believe them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you tell yourself that you \u201ccan\u2019t do\u201d something, you will have set yourself up to fail from the beginning.&nbsp; You might even re-affirm those negative feelings later on, by saying something like: \u201cI knew I couldn\u2019t do that, so I was stupid to try\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But is that really the truth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another aspect of negative self-talk that surprises me is how we can say things to ourselves that we would never say to a loved one.&nbsp; For example: imagine telling your best friend that they \u201calways mess things up\u201d, or that they are \u201cuseless\u201d.&nbsp; How do you think they would feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treating yourself like someone worth caring about \u2013 as you would a loved one \u2013 can be a good start when it comes to changing your internal dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awareness of negative self-talk is key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negative self-talk can have a corrosive effect on our self-confidence, and in turn, our lives and work.&nbsp; But by practising mindfulness and noticing when it happens, you can actively change the conversation into something more positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might find it helpful to write down some of the things you say to yourself, then change any negatives into positives.&nbsp; So, \u201cI can\u2019t do that\u201d could become, \u201cThis will be challenging, but I\u2019ll try my best.&nbsp; Who knows \u2013 I might even enjoy it and do well, but whatever else happens I\u2019ll definitely learn something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The effects of positive self-talk can be life-changing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has the power to benefit our mental health, relationships, and our performance at work.&nbsp; Studies have also shown that people who talk positively to themselves develop a mindset that helps them withstand challenges and develop effective strategies for emotional resilience during times of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/research.bangor.ac.uk\/portal\/files\/22735215\/2019_To_me_to_You_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2019 study<\/a>&nbsp;in particular concludes that using second-person pronouns (\u201cyou\u201d instead of \u201cI\u201d) helps boost performance and regulate emotions even further.&nbsp; You could try talking to yourself as though you were your own best friend, and see what effects this has on your self-esteem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(You could be surprised!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/meet-the-team\/louise-johnson.html\">Louise<\/a>&nbsp;is a wellness therapist, embodiment coach, clinical&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/services\/hypnotherapy.html\">hypnotherapist<\/a>, teacher of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/services\/meditation.html\">meditation<\/a>&nbsp;and teacher of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/services\/realisation-process.html\">Realisation Process (RP)<\/a>.
