One of the things that we do
subconsciously without even realizing it, is our habits of
thinking. Most people have never really thought about the fact that
your thoughts are habits. When I talk about habits, most of the
time people think about going to the gym or eating healthy. Rarely
do we ever think about the fact that our thinking is a habit. It
all comes from how we think, and also from something even smaller
than that – it is the things that we say to ourselves.
I
read that we think roughly about 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day,
and of those thoughts, the majority are habitual thoughts. What's
even sadder is that the majority of things we think are negative
thoughts, and the majority of things that we think in our minds is
our self talk the way we speak to ourselves.
In
this episode, I talk about the 5 levels of Self-talk according to
Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s book ‘Nonviolent Communication’, and share
5 Tips when it comes to talking to yourself, why it is immensely
valuable, and how to do it.
