Negative Self-Talk

Negative self-talk pre-empts any chance of success in anything that you do. In pursuing relationships, what you think you are or not, you’re right; what you think you can or can’t, you are also right. You get the point. Thus, it is in your best interest to think and believe in only the positive and dump the negative self-talk. Increasing your awareness of negative self-talk will help you lessen and eventually eliminate them altogether. However, it does take work to stop yourself each time you think in negative terms whether they are thoughts about you the individual or the outcomes involving you. So,

Consider the following list:

Not believing that you are attractive or good enough.

Dismissing your feelings as not important or valued.

Procrastinating and/or not taking the initiative when the opportunity arises.

Letting nervousness dictate how you do things or overwhelm you.

Letting shyness dictate your actions or using shyness as an excuse for not facing difficult or new situations.

Not giving yourself credit or accepting positive feedback.

Creating a fantasy or building up people or situations not based on reality or facts.

Making assumptions without finding out the facts.


How many of these things do you do? Isn’t it time you stopped?
