Self-Talk, What You Say Does Matter: Warrior Mind Podcast #162
This Warrior Mind Podcast is based on the post “Self-Talk and Personal Success.”
The purpose of this warrior mind podcast is to influence you that reprogramming your limiting belief system is not only possible, but practical and simple through the mental strength tool of self-talk.
People that achieve personal success in a consistent basis have one thing in common, they have positive and empowering self-talk. Whether they are successful athletes, executives, business owners, or artists, they all have mastered the art of self-talk and know that everything they say to themselves does matter.
They know that before they attempt to achieve any goal they must have a positive inner dialogue of self-talk. They envision themselves living the way they want to live and feeling the excitement, gratitude, and the sense of accomplishment that comes from reaching what they set out to do and reinforce this vision with affirming self-talk.
Positive self-talk is the conversation that goes on in your mind. It is where you believe in yourself and are confident in your capabilities to the point that you are certain that you will succeed.

Most people don’t realize it, but as we go about our daily lives we are constantly thinking about and interpreting the situations we find ourselves in. It’s as though we have an internal voice inside our head that determines how we perceive every situation. Many coaches call this inner voice ‘self-talk‘, and it includes our conscious thoughts as well as our unconscious assumptions or beliefs.
Much of our self-talk is reasonable — ‘I’d better do some preparation for that exam’, or ‘I’m really looking forward to that match’. However, some of our self-talk is negative, unrealistic or self-defeating — ‘I’m going to fail for sure’, or ‘I didn’t play well! I’m hopeless’.
Self-talk is often skewed towards the negative, and sometimes it’s just plain wrong. If you are experiencing depression, it is particularly likely that you interpret things negatively. That’s why it’s useful to keep an eye on the things you tell yourself, and challenge some of the negative aspects of your thinking.
You can test, challenge and change your self-talk. You can change some of the negative aspects of your thinking by challenging the irrational parts and replacing them with more reasonable thoughts.
With practice, you can learn to notice your own negative self-talk as it happens, and consciously choose to think about the situation in a more realistic and helpful way.
