How To Overcome Negative Self Talk And Trigger Positive Thinking

By: Dr. Larry Iverson Home | Self-Improvement | Motivational


Why do so many people have such a tough time with negativity, negative
self-talk, and negative thinking? What makes that occur?

There are only four ways all emotions are created, chemical or hormonal
change in the body. Everything you put in your body is a chemical,
right? Coffee, tea, sugar, water, alcohol, drugs, food, everything you
put in you is a chemical and affects you on some level.

Inside of that same aspect is hormones. You have thirty plus hormones
in your body that are continually going up and down. They're
fluctuating ongoingly because they get used up, they get old, and they
have to be replaced. So chemical or hormonal change in the body is one
way emotions are created.

The second way emotions are created is because of damage to the brain.
I guarantee if you stand back about 50 feet from a brick wall and you
run as fast as you can head first into that wall, it's going to change
how you feel quickly, right? Have a stroke, have an aneurysm, hit your
head into the windshield of a car from not having your seatbelt on,
bruise the brain and your emotions will rise and fall. That's the
second way, damage to the brain.

The third way emotions are created is because of your self-talk and the
pictures you make up inside of your head. Everybody has a voice that
talks to them in their head; we all do. It never stops talking from
the time you wake up in the morning until you go to sleep at night.
That voice is chattering at you. So that voice inside of your head and
the pictures that it creates is the third way that emotions are
created.

The fourth way emotions are created is because of something happening
to your physiology. You're too hot, you're too cold, you're in pain,
something has occurred with,our body.

These are the four ways that emotions are created, chemical or hormonal
change in the body, damage to the brain itself, your internal dialogue,
the voice in your head that talks to you and the picture that it
creates, or something happened within or to your physiology. Of the
four ways, between 65% to 75% of all emotions are created because of
your self-talk and the mental images inside of your mind.

So what are you doing to change and control that self-talk? Self-talk
is just a brainwave function. Negativity, negative thinking, positive
thinking, positive attitudes are all the result of your thinking
processes. 65% to 75% of all emotions are created by what you're
thinking. So when you get a handle on what you're thinking, it makes a
gigantic difference on how you feel. You can rewrite those thinking
patterns anytime fast.

All you have to do is begin to watch that internal dialogue. When you
catch that upset thinking pattern, when it's getting negative, you have
to turn it around. You have to do something about it. You have to
make that voice inside of your head go back to the path where you
wanted. You've got to send it back down the road that works for you
because that negative thinking will get in your way and take away from
the fun, the pleasure, the excitement, the good stuff in your life.
Your success is inhibited by that negativity.

Positive thinking, positive thoughts, positive attitude are all about
focusing on what you can do something about. It makes a giant
difference. Every single day of positive focus can make a difference
in what you do, have and become.

Taking just a couple of minutes to get more control of your thinking
patterns can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your life.

The Best of Success to You.
