Stop That Negative Self Talk

Hi Everyone:
My blog today is about negative self talk. We all experience it. at one time in our lives. Where does that little voice inside us come from? Well from what I have read and experienced personally it comes from what we hear from others. That becomes our belief in what we can achieve or accomplish. In my case at least because I was brought up in a negative environment that negative talk like, your stupid, you will never amount to anything resonated in my head for years. I did not put two and two together for a long time. Especially if you are in an abusive relationship. Let me clarify something. Verbal abuse is still abuse. When you are demanded constantly it becomes your view of your self worth. You respond accordingly in your daily life. Like attracts like. Meaning if you feel you are not worth anything that is the kind of person you attract. It happens like magic. I know from experience it happened to me constantly. It wasn't until I figured out how to get past the negative self talk that things started to change for me. Here is some of the things I did. First thing I did was to understand what was going on with me. I have covered that already. Moving on. The next thing is to start to reprogram the negative into the positive. How you may ask, simple everyone time a negative talk inside me said I couldn't do something I countered with a positive YES I can. I literally shouted my negative self talk down. No out loud of course. I did not want to look like I was loon. But in my head I sure did, loud and clear. Guess what it the negative talk shut up. Next I reprogrammed myself with positive affirmations. I used as what we call in NLP an anchor. By this I mean putting my index finger and my thumb together and saying a positive affirmation that depicted what I wanted to happen. Do this often, in fact do it every time you think of it. Next when I went to bed I visualized what I wanted in full blown color and vivid detail. I did this because this in essence tells my subconscious what I want. I have said over and over the subconscious does not know what is reality and what is not. Do this consistently. I do this just before I go to sleep. This is  really self hypnosis. Try it and get back with me. Let me know your progress. Don't give up. It won't work in a few day. You have to be consistent with it. But it will work. If you are a survivor of abuse this will do wonders for you to help regain your sense of control and self-esteem.
Just food for thought
