What to Say When You Talk to Your Self

You are everything that is,

Your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true.

You are everything you choose to be.

You are as unlimited as the endless universe.

As I said, when you first begin to talk out loud to yourself, you might feel a little strange or foolish. I know I did. But in a day or two, the benefits will outweigh the minor embarrassment it might have taken to get started. In a short while, you will find yourself talking to yourself in the car, while you are alone in the office, while you’re on a walk—anywhere at all.

There is, however, a less conspicuous and safer way to use self-conversation, and it is a way I recommend you try at your next available opportunity. I refer to it as shower talk, and it works like this: Tomorrow morning, when you step into the shower, say “Good morning!” to yourself. Say it out loud, and say it with a smile in your voice. Greet the day with your chin up, your attitude high, and tell yourself just how great the day ahead is going to be. “You look great today! You feel good, you’re in good shape, and you’re ready to tackle anything!”

And then respond––give yourself an answer back. “I feel terrific! Today especially! I feel good, I like who I am and I’m glad to be alive and going for it!”
