Positive Self Talk: Self validating, Self affirming, Self love
Lets talk “Positive Self Talk” The way you speak to yourself is so important. That inner voice is one you hear often and can completely effect how you approach situations, your confidence and mood.
What is positive self talk? It’s not being a narcissist or deceiving yourself. It’s showing yourself some self love and understanding for the person that you are. Its giving yourself grace for the challenges you face in life and how you approach them and over come them. Its showing self appreciation.
Just as there is positive self talk there is also negative self talk. You can be realistic when speaking to yourself about a difficult situation without putting yourself down with your thoughts. For example instead of saying. “Im getting so fat and Ive been eating horribly. I will never meet my weight loss goals eating like this ”
You could say
“I’ve gained some weight that Im not happy with, but I have a plan and as long as I hold my self accountable I can stick to it!”
Its scientifically proven that speaking to yourself in a positive tone actually makes accomplishing goals more likely.
Other benefits of positive self talk include
Combat stress: positive self-talk can help you approach challenges and stressful situations with a more open and optimistic mindset
Helps to boost confidence: self affirming statements and a positive over all tone makes you feel better about yourself boosting self esteem.
Build positive relationships: When you speak to yourself in a way that is positive it will show in the way you speak to others. It will put you in a position where you only want to let others that are positive and good for you into your life.
One of the most popular types of Positive Self Talk is Self Affirming Statements. Self affirming statements are statements you make to yourself to encourage or motivate yourself. As a parting gift, I leave you with 5 that you should utilize for over all self validating inspiration as you grow in your self love journey!
Attempting to do this took courage and I am proud of myself for trying.
Even though it wasn’t the outcome I hoped for, I learned a lot about myself.
I am capable and strong, I can get through this.
My flaws and strengths make me who I am.
I have the power to influence the outcome of my journey.
