Whether you realize it or not, you are talking to yourself, all day, every day.
There are 2 types of speeches:
Inner speech
Outer speech
Which one of these two you do the most? I try to do the both. 🙂 Yes, I literally talk out loud, I have real conversations with me, and sometimes I do pretend that Oprah Winfrey is in my room and I am asking her for advice. 🙂 haha
Now, seriously!
Talking out loud can organize your thoughts, empty your mind of chatter, and give you clarity.
There are so many research on inner and outer speech, and people do it constantly, much more than you think. People sit in their rooms, walk through the house and they talk like somebody is with them, but they just think out loud. They materialize their thoughts of some sort.
Watch my video on this:
There is also amazing song by Mr.SuicideSheep artist called “Talking to myself”. Here it is:
You can ask yourself for advice. No one knows what is best for you, other than you, and this will stay like that forever. Underneath all that doubt and worry that you might have, there is also a wisdom, you just have to ignite it. Ask for it, and it is immediately going to be given to you.
Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.
Really, you can talk to yourself almost anytime you like, just don’t do that if people are around you, because you are going to get weird looks.
Talk to yourself on a way home, in a shower, while getting ready for the day, in a bed, while cooking, as I said, almost anytime you like and you feel like doing.
It is so freeing.
Any thought on this? Are you going to be practicing talking to yourself more?
I came up to idea long time ago of just repeating positive affirmations/words all throughout the day but I wasn”t consistent. Imagine your life transforms by doing some actions consistently. Often times we hear something is good for us, and we think: “OK, I am going to implement that into my life.” But doing this two and a half day, not seeing results, an of course, we give up to this. That”s not how things work. You gotta believe in this method, wanting change your life, and consistently doing this action.
I am talking about mantras, chanting or talking with yourself, however you want.
I will tel you here and now what happened to me today. So, I woke up, and whatever I was doing after opening my eyes I tried to be aware of my moves, what I was doing, and planning the next right move. Such as, upon waking up and taking big cold glass of water, the next right move for me been washing my face in cold water and brushing my teeth all followed by deep breaths.
Have you ever came to destination, not knowing what was during the journey? You see, you”ve been in your thoughts, and that didn”t happen to me today. I was very aware of my each move. Why? Because I was taking deep breaths. Deep inhales, and exhales.
Talk with yourself
And then I sat on a bike, and as I was spinning that wheel I was talking with myself. Deep breath in, exhale, and then I chanted word LOVE. You can do any, whichever you like.
Try yourself now. Take a deep breath in, naturally, slowly, exhale, and say to yourself, at loud or silently, word love, and repeat three times. I am sure you are going to feel the difference.
What sentences and words I was chanting today and you can too. A word love, peace, relax, breathe, wisdom, I love Irish wind :D, beautiful day, we are living in abundant universe, everyone deserves to love and be loved, I am dedicated to achieve my goals, I am worthy of that and etc. I hope that resonates with you and you know what I mean by that, by chanting words and sentences. If you don”t, leave in a comment section below: “Please, I wanna know more about this.”, and I”ll get that clarified for you.
If you are into self development, trying to improve your life, I believe you are listening majority of your time some motivational speeches, but that has to stop someday. Why?! Do you really believe that the ones who already achieved lot are listening motivation speeches. They are already inspired and doing actions.
Beautiful Silence
Why we tend to watch TV? Spending hours and hours on youtube? Maybe because we are afraid of what we may hear in our head. Maybe if you are going to turn off all your devices you might hear: “You fool!”, “Why did you do that?”, “You shouldn”t do that!”.
Be aware of your self talk. Turn off all your devices, stop listening motivational speeches, and spent some time you with you in a complete silence. Do what I suggested to you. Take a deep breath in, exhale, and say to yourself “I am worthy!” for example. That”s how you are rewiring your anxious brain. It”s that simple.
I made a video on youtube about meditation and how changed my life. You can see it here if you want.
I really hope I helped you and you are realizing how important self talk is. Just chant all the positive words and affirmations all day, every day, followed by deep breaths, continuously, until you see and feel the difference.
