Self-Talk
Self-talk is the way you talk to yourself, usually subconsciously, in your head. Scripting is what you believe about yourself.
When this type of talk and scripting match, you feel confident about yourself and empowered to succeed.
When they don’t match, you can struggle with performance or interpersonal relationships, both in your own personal life and especially at work.
A recent study in Nature on self-talk documented the effects of positive or negative self-talk on brain functional connectivity. The way that you talk to yourself has measurable effects on your ability to meet your own goals.
You might be a high-powered hedge fund manager, high-tech professional, entrepreneur, or professional athlete, but if you hold limiting beliefs (often without even being aware of them), you’ll feel that something’s continuing to hold you back and restricting you from achieving your full potential.
To break free from these constraints, it’s important to become aware of your internal dialogue and consciously work to reframe it. Replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations can gradually shift your mindset, leading to improved confidence, better decision-making, and enhanced performance in all areas of life.
This process takes time and effort, but the rewards are profound. By aligning your self-talk with a positive, empowering script about who you are and what you can achieve, you open the door to greater success and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. This alignment isn’t just about feeling better; it’s about creating a mental environment that fosters growth and achievement at the highest levels
