How do you talk to yourself in your head? Do you tend to tell yourself encouraging and encouraging things? Or do you often scold yourself and play the worst-case scenarios?
Negative self-monologue can be a big obstacle to your success.
Many believe that the inner voice of criticism is used to motivate us to become better. Despite your desire for self-development, the constant habit of pointing out what is wrong with you becomes a huge drain into which energy merges.
However, it would be more beneficial to your life and health to say less bad things to yourself. If, instead of an endless stream of self-criticism, you turn on a healthy indifference, or even better - a positive outlook on yourself, then this is guaranteed to reduce stress and even improve your immunity.
But how to overcome the negative voice? Here are some strategies:
- Keep a diary of thoughts and observe what you write. For each negative statement, find something positive - so gradually you will come to the fact that the negative and the positive in your head will be at least equal. Already good.
- Ask yourself what a kind, reliable friend can tell you. What words of support he could find for your situation. Tell yourself them.
- Think about what you would say to your friend if he was in your place.
- And for the most daring. If you notice a negative monologue in yourself, allow yourself to follow it further. Reinforce your negativity, maximize it. And then notice how absurd and ridiculous that grumpy voice began to sound. Laughing at him (or crying) will relieve stress and dispel negativity for a long time.
