Content: Ask yourself if there is a more helpful thought you can use to replace the negative one. Positive Self-Talk
Positive self-talk involves showing yourself compassion, love, and understanding of what you have been through and who you are. Our internal dialogue when it is positive involves thoughts such as “I can do this,” or “I can learn from my mistakes.” Furthermore, you may improve your positive self-talk by doing the following: Practice positivity by seeing the glass half full instead of glass half empty
Identify your strengths in your self-talk, and compliment yourself
Practice thinking good thoughts about yourself
Act, look and think in positive ways
Furthermore, the benefits of positive self-talk include: Stress reduction – research shows that people who think more positively may be more likely to engage in positive self-talk, as well as utilize more useful coping strategies during stressful situations. The reason positive self-talk helps with stressful situations is that it enables you to deal with challenges confidently, and you know that you did the best you could. Dealing with circumstances with an “I can do it” attitude rather than a negative one opens one’s mind to new ways of problem-solving. Boosts in confidence and resilience – research reveals that people who are highly optimistic and exhibit positive self-esteem have a higher likelihood of achieving their goals, as well as making good grades, and even recover quicker from surgery. Furthermore, engaging in regular positive self-talk may help you feel more confident in achieving goals because you believe that you can reach them.
