A case for Positive Self-talk.
As a young girl, I remember how I was scolded repeatedly for talking to myself.
According to them, “it’s only mad people who talk to themselves”, and they found it strange that I had conversations with myself, by myself.
Btw, who else experienced this?
Thankfully, I didn’t stop.
I got so used to my internal conversations that it didn’t matter where I was or who was listening, and as I grew older and gradually understood the power behind these conversations, I became more intentional about them.
Whenever I felt awkward, timid, or inadequate, they helped me to self-regulate and call myself to order.
A lot of times, these internal conversations help me clarify my thoughts and make sound decisions.
Quite recently, I learned that they are called Self-talks!
You see, self-talks are powerful internal dialogues that you have with yourself, and a lot of us do it unconsciously.
They are powerful because your words are powerful, especially the words you speak to yourself, and this is why you should be more conscious and intentional about them.
Your self-talks influence your self-image, self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence.
This is because your subconscious mind recognizes your voice and listens when you speak, and it automatically influences your actions in line with your utterances.
What others say about you does not matter, and their opinions about you hold no water compared to your opinion about yourself.
Many times, we short-change ourselves because we live in fear of people’s opinions about us, forgetting that it’s our own words that matter.
This life is a battle of words . . . and you only win the battle of words when you speak what God says about you.
Embrace the power of your voice and practice positive self-talk.
Speak life over yourself and watch the universe align accordingly.
