Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - Talking to Yourself

[Guest guest]

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 7/21/05 - " Talking to Yourself "

Do you ever talk to yourself out loud? Lot's of people do. However, most of

your self-talk is silent, and it's very powerful. You see, we talk to

ourselves all the time. In fact, most of it happens in the form of thoughts,

and it usually happens so fast, we don't even know it.

While you are reading this right now, you are talking to yourself three

times as fast. When you stop reading, you speed up to about six times

faster. These running thoughts, or " self-talk " as it is called, is very

powerful, so it is important that you become aware of what it contains.

Your self-talk builds up or tears down your self-image, determines what kind

of relationships you have with other people, influences what kind of income

you have and what kind of work you do. It affects virtually everything in

your life.

If you tell yourself good things don't happen to you, believe me, they won't,

because your subconscious will make sure that you find a way to prove

yourself right. And if you have a positive expectation of success, chances

are excellent that you will succeed. You will persist in your efforts and

you will persuade others to help you until you achieve your goal.

So, pay close attention to the kinds of things you say to yourself. And, if

you hear putdowns, derogatory labels or harsh criticisms, deliberately stop

them and answer back in a positive way. When you take charge of your

self-talk, you go a long way toward taking charge of your life.
