John, thank you so much for this post. This is great info & I appreciate you posting it. I have post its on my mirrors & in the kitchen reminding me of my Divinity and to consistently send positive thoughts to my subconscious.

Cheers to Abundance & Prosperity in 2009.

Thanks John – I find that I have to write down my “positive talk” on note cards and look at them daily. That helps alot! Love your blogs – thanks and keep them coming!

What a great article about New Year’s Resolutions and the value of self talk! What we say to ourselves truly does create our world. This starts with what we believe, and by changing these beliefs — we can change our world. I’d suggest the book Free Mind Free Body to anyone that would like to learn about gently changing their self-talk and learning about the power of their mind. Our lives improve when we create with conscious thought!

Awesome tips – I’m printing these out for easy reference. It seems so simple sometimes to keep this in mind, but it’s also somehow so easy to forget.

emergency help is needed with all this 2009 self positive talk.collectively we need to find a better way to help our heros.those whom are coming home from the war with physical wounds and those with psychological wounds. suicide is on the increase.only families who’s son or daughter came home looked okey (normal).then due to post war traumas committed suicide.I feel it’s sad with all the positive thinking salespeople and high level religious people. we all need to find away to really say that not being macho is okey,men do cry!next get rid of the better than active ego.positive action is needed any suggestions? have a great new,may god bless.

Spot on John!

Negative self talk shuts down our brains from thinking.

Positive self talk gives our brains reasons to find the anwers to support or level of thinking.

Thank you for your genuine approach to living life.

This comes at a time when I am feeling kind of down. the holidays have that affect on me because of living alone. I am a very positive person and listen to positive thinking audios, and I read alot of inspirational material. However, these times cause me to look at life in a different light. I constantly have to remind myself that this is short lived and to stop feeding my subconscience negative thoughts. Thank you John for expressing your thoughts at the right time.

John,

Thanks for sharing this great info! This is definitely one of the top ten most important habits that everyone should have.

Happy Holidays!

from what I read and I am not the best reader,that the self – talk should be about the ego.just think how much it gets in the way of keeping any resolution from being completed.could it be because of not loveing oneself(honestly and truly) and saying (10-20 times a day)how thankful one is for what one has.understand that if the resolution does not come from the combined feelings of the mind,the heart,and the menta a resolution will never come to be. one must ask how open is ones mind?how big is ones ego?how much does one love oneself?how many have people have one forgiven?how many times has one said thank you?if all of the above questions are have a positive answer then there is a better chance all resolutions being completed!wish everyone change from negative thinking to positive thinking to have a wonderful new year.

Many individuals are actually unaware of how negative their self-talk is. What a person says to themselves internally is generally reflected by the things they actually say.

Rob Bremer said,

“If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang around with that person?”

And the answer is that many people wouldn’t. A coach can help draw your awareness to your self-talk, particularly when it’s negative so that you can work on improving it.

I think this is the must vital piece of information for ANYONE who wants to turn their life around – thanks for bringing this up at such an important time John
