5 Steps to Stop the Negative Self Talk

Today, let’s talk a little about negative self talk and how it sabotages our lives. We’d like to share 5 steps you can take to stop the negative self talk and create a new reality!

“I’m not good enough.”

“I could never do that”

“I am not smart enough, clever enough, confident enough, skinny enough…”

“What would other people think or say?”

Have you ever caught yourself saying these things to yourself? If you can relate to this, you are not alone. 

It is said over 95% of people struggle with feelings of unworthiness, not feeling good enough, or fearing other people’s judgments. Isn’t that mind-boggling?

The fact is when we live out of lack, anxiety, limitation, self-doubt, or fear, how can we ever create the life we truly desire? Ask yourself – Where will I be in a year, 5 or 10 years from now if I continue to operate from these thoughts and beliefs. Often people will say ‘the same place’ when in reality you will most likely be in a worse place. 

However, the good news is, that we have the power and ability to reprogram our thoughts to live a more aligned, happier, and fulfilling life. Phew! 

Here are quick 5 steps to stop negative self talk:

Step #1. Become Aware

Catch yourself, the next time you get into the negative thought loop. Awareness is the first step to change.

Step #2. Say Stop

Simply create a stop word or stop phrase that you say or repeat in your mind right away when a self-limiting thought comes up. Or use my favorite: ‘I release this thought that no longer serves me. I am surely not going down that road again.’

Hence, this will disrupt that train of thought before it gets bigger and more powerful.

Step #3. Remind Yourself What This Will Lead To Over The Next Year Or More

After you have said stop, remind yourself of the cost of engaging in these negative thought patterns. In your mind see the cost of thinking these limiting thoughts and how they will affect you. Then go even further – 5 years into the future – and see in your mind how it will have an impact not only on your life but also on the lives of the people closest to you.

Step #4. Consciously Choose To Stop Engaging In These Thoughts

You can consciously decide you are no longer going to believe these thoughts. Give yourself permission to let go of the stuff that is no longer serving you. You deserve better!

Step #5. Be Intentional About Building New Empowering Thoughts

Each time you catch yourself in a negative spiral, be brave and replace that thought by building up new ones. You are literally rewiring your brain through conscious repetition. Don’t give up. Just keep reframing your thought. Each day. Everyday. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Your new thoughts are one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
