“No one sees me.” and “She’s better than you.” are two phrases that played on repeat in my head for years. I turned it off. I tuned it out. I stopped owning the negative self-talk in my head.
One of the easiest things you can do to start living your best life is to simply change your negative self-talk and fill it with positive self-talk. It’s honestly a micro habit that will pave the way for your thoughts and your actions. Here are three ways to incorporate positive self-talk in your life.
1. Be Mindful of Your Thoughts: Start by paying attention to the negative self-talk that you engage in regularly. This could include negative statements about your appearance, abilities, or accomplishments. Write them down and challenge them with positive affirmations or constructive self-talk.
2. Practice Gratitude: Focus on the things that you are thankful for in your life and make a conscious effort to appreciate them. Start a gratitude journal! It has helped me focus on more positive and uplifting thoughts. I am so glad I started one!
3. Use Positive Affirmations: Positive affirmations are statements that you can repeat to yourself to reinforce positive beliefs about yourself and your abilities. Identify a few affirmations that resonate with you and repeat them regularly throughout the day. This can help you replace negative self-talk with positive and empowering thoughts. Examples of positive affirmations include “I am capable and confident,” “I am deserving of success,” and “I am worthy of love and respect.”
