Your boss just came over to your desk in the office and told you about a big project that he wants you to start in the next few weeks. After speaking with him, the first thing you thought to yourself was, \u201cI can\u2019t<\/strong> do that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re playing in your high school\u2019s basketball game and you find out that a recruiter from a big-name college is coming to watch you play. You think to yourself, \u201cOkay, I can do this. I\u2019ve been playing for 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though these are both extremely different scenarios, they both involve the concept of self-talk Now we\u2019re going to go over the benefits of using positive self-talk and how you can apply this new skill to your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is self-talk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms:<\/strong> Self-talk is your inner voice. It\u2019s the conversations you have with yourself in your head about what\u2019s going on in your life and in the present moment. Depending on your mindset and the situation, self-talk can be either negative or positive. Positive self-talk. <\/strong>This is the best type of self-talk that you can practice in your own life. It\u2019s encouraging, motivating, and makes you feel better about yourself and your qualifications. Negative self-talk.<\/strong> This is the type of self-talk that puts you down. It\u2019ll convince you that you\u2019re not good enough, not fit for a job or task, and that there are no positives in a situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, positive self-talk is what\u2019s going to change your life for the better. Plus, it\u2019s actually pretty easy to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Positive Affirmations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think about a task or job you\u2019ve been given in life that you didn\u2019t exactly feel qualified for. Maybe you didn\u2019t feel like you were smart enough, pretty enough, or old enough to do it the way it was meant to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of situation can cause an overwhelming sense of stress and anxiety. That\u2019s why using positive affirmations can help you to focus more on the positive qualities that you have that prove that you\u2019re actually more than capable of doing what you set your mind to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use positive affirmations, select a phrase or sentence that highlights a part of your personality or physical body that you\u2019re insecure about. So, if you don\u2019t feel smart enough for a job, you can say to yourself, \u201cI\u2019m great at learning new things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply repeat the phrase to yourself when you\u2019re feeling down and, eventually, you\u2019ll begin to believe the words that you\u2019re telling yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shifting Your Perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Affirmations are a great start when it comes to using self-talk to keep you calm. But, for a more permanent solution, you\u2019re going to need to focus on shifting your perspective and mindset to generally being more positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say something happened to you that you perceive as negative. Now, you\u2019re completely allowed to feel sad, angry, anxious, or stressed about what happened, but you can also start to view it in another way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, rather than harping on the negatives of something, try to identify at least one positive aspect of what happened. At that point, you can then use your self-talk to remind yourself of the good that came out of it and reduce the stress and anxiety commonly linked to that kind of negative event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Life is full of stress and anxiety, especially as you get older. Yet, using self-talk is a beneficial way to help you to remain calm and tranquil, regardless of the circumstances. The best ways to do this are by using positive affirmations to boost your self-esteem and shifting your perspective to focus on the positives.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
