Ask yourself do you really mean what you say to yourself? Do you realize how powerful the words you use are and how they affect your mood? Our words can make us feel depressed, anxious, irritable and angry. They can cause us to have low self-esteem’s as well as a poor self-image. If you want to improve your mood, begin using positive and more meaningful words when describing yourself and your experiences in life. Other ways to improve your self-talk can be as simple as listening to what you’re saying to yourself each day, expanding your emotional vocabulary and being mindful of how you use your words when engaging in self-talk. It is important to remember that the words you use to describe your world is in essence what creates it.
For instance, when I start to feel stressed or doubt myself I like to tell myself “I got this, because I’m a Rockstar!” Seems silly I know, but it makes me smile, gives me confidence and motivates me. I don’t mean or believe that I am actually a Rockstar, but instead that I am “good enough”….No wait! I am better than “good enough”.
