Positive Self Talk Is More Powerful Than Your Brain Can Comprehend

For some reason we just lose this dreamer voice in our heads as we grow up. Think of yourself as a child. All you ever thought about was the potential of what you wanted to be and what you could be. You most likely believe you can’t do that anymore. “Reality set in.” The funny thing is you have so much more potential to do it now than you did before. We all have people we idolize, those who are doing what we wish we could do. Think of Neil Armstrong, he wanted to go to the moon. So he did it. No one had done it before, the technology was new and the risk was high. He did what people thought was impossible for over a millennium. Granted, they didn’t have spaceships in the Victorian period. But, he did what was considered the impossible. He was just a person, just like you. Think of what you want to do, there’s definitely someone already doing it or something similar. Are they more talented than you or luckier? Probably not. It’s because they knew they could do it.

What you need is positive self talk. If it motivated you as a child, why can’t you use it now? Many perceive it as naive or immature. Is it childish to want to be happy and successful at what you enjoy doing? Inward and outward positive self talk can do way more for yourself than you think. This is beneficial to any scenario, not just career goals. It’s so easy to let doubt settle in and consume you.

Now think back on all of that wasted time you felt incapable or useless. Did that do anything for you? Was that helpful in anyway? Sure we learn from our mistakes. Use them as a growing experience and not something to waste your time. Think of all the time you’ve wasted wallowing in your self doubt. It’s pretty sad, isn’t it? Makes you reflect on wasting your own potential. Why waste your own time? With that information you can use it as a learning experience. You don’t have to do that anymore. If you honestly tell yourself that it won’t happen again, it won’t. Tell yourself that. Right now. I can wait.

You are what’s in your way. This probably sucks to read, but it’s true. Nobody wants to know that they are wrong, but it helps to be able to admit when you are. You can blame who you want, it won’t accomplish anything though. No one is truly desiring to stand in your way. People may disagree or disregard what you aspiring to, but they’re not in your head. They don’t know what you can truly do. You have opportunity to unlock your full potential. Motivate yourself, be your own coach.

Did you know that your brain reacts to the power of positivity and it has an actual effect on your body? This isn’t some self-help cat poster fluff, it’s true. Think of all the times you let your doubts and your negativity consume you, your energy was pretty well depleted. Now think of all the times you thought you could accomplish what you set out to do. You had exponentially more energy, which gave you more of the ability to attain your aspirations.

Confidence is key. Everybody likes confidence. Its almost a universal attraction. We all look for it in friends, partners, employers and employees. You have heard the advice of boosting your confidence before an interview by pumping yourself up in front of mirror, singing your own praises and announcing what you personally can accomplish. It makes a noticeable difference. If your questioning it, you definitely haven’t done it. I would strongly advise doing it in a private space if at all possible. If you give yourself confidence, you give yourself the passion to do more. It can open more doors than you think.

You probably haven’t heard the tale of Colonel Sanders, but’s actually pretty inspirational. He obviously had a recipe for some really good chicken and he thought that would be his gift to the world. So he went out and got rejected. Again and again. Over a thousand times he went to different restaurants across America to sell his product or open up a restaurant. Sanders knew that he had something worth selling, something people would love. He never stopped. That self doubt never crept through his mind to prevent him from achieving his goal. His face and brand are known throughout the world now. Colonel Sanders is an icon of capitalism, but he should be an image of inspiration. Without positive self talk, he wouldn’t have well past what he thought he could have accomplished.

The mind is more powerful than you know. There have been many cases of people with dissociative identity disorder where the different personalities had different allergies. The mind has such a strong affect on your body chemistry. If you believe it, your body will adjust to your mind. Your brain chemistry doesn’t define you, you define your brain chemistry.

This isn’t inspirational quote fluff. It’s science, man. Your mind is a muscle, you have to exercise it. You may think to yourself, that you can’t do that or that’s not you. But it can be, if you let it, if you train yourself. It may seem silly before you dive into it, but it helps. It got me to where I am now. When I was younger, I told myself that I couldn’t really do much with my life. So for a while that was true. Listening to Tony Robbins tapes (yes, they do work) inspired me to believe I could do more and now I have achieved way more than younger me could’ve fathomed. Focus your thoughts on being less angsty teen drama and more Gary Vaynerchuk.

Your idols are people just like you. If they can do it, you most certainly can. You’ve heard the stories of people with crippling injuries or ailments who have done remarkable things. So why do you think you can’t? Tell yourself you will do it, and you will. It may not be right away, but never let that doubt seep in. There’s so much more you can do if you just believe it. Don’t be like The Little Engine That Could and think you can. Know you can. Verbalize it. Internalize it.
