You Live In A World Of Your Thoughts

You live in the world of your thoughts. A large portion of that world involves the conversations that you are engaged in with yourself.

Throughout the day you engage in self-talk. You comment to yourself about what you are experiencing now, what you’ve experienced in the past, and what you might experience in the future.

There are patterns of self-talk that can create needless and excessive distress, anxiety, anger, fear, and worry. By recognizing the patterns of thoughts that make you feel bad and limit you, you become aware of the negative patterns that you need to reduce.

On the other hand, there are patterns of self-talk that create appreciation and gratitude, happiness and joy, positive character traits and attributes, kindness and compassion, hope and encouragement.

-- Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

You can talk yourself into a better frame of mind, and into a more motivated state. Realize the power of your self talk. Choose to move yourself to a better place, by what you say to yourself every day.
