First, you need to identify and listen to your inner dialogue. Catch yourself out. What is the tone of your self-talk? Does it tell you that you can achieve what you want? Or is it filling you with thoughts of self-doubt? It’s probably a message that has been repeated for many years. It’s that voice that tells us what we can and what we can’t do or achieve. This internal chatter often tells you what you should and what you shouldn’t do. Record your thoughts in a journal and check for patterns of negative inner dialogue. Your written records could provide clues or themes of self-talk that reappear in your thinking. If your self-talk is negative, your confidence is being eroded and stunted. This translates into toxic thoughts that are stopping you from moving forward. Here’s the challenge – if you want to manifest change, you need to reprogram this inner dialogue.
