Positive Self Talk Affirmations to Help You Embody Your Best Self & Build a Life You Love
Positive self-talk is a technique that works by practicing replacing negative thoughts with encouraging, optimistic ones.
This internal dialogue involves using affirmations and encouraging words during challenging situations. Think of it as choosing to listen to your inner coach vs. inner critic!
At Brave Thinking Institute, we teach a simple results formula. Your thoughts impact your feelings, your feelings impact your actions, and your actions determine your results. That means, if you want to change your results, you begin with your thoughts.
Positive self-talk acts as a form of cognitive restructuring, influencing our emotions and behavior by shaping how we interpret events and perceive ourselves, which has a direct impact on mental health and personal growth (source).

Do positive self talk statements work?
Studies in positive psychology have highlighted the benefits of positive self-talk. Changing the thoughts in your mind improves confidence and self-esteem, resilience, and overall well-being.
For instance, one study investigated the impact of self-talk on individuals facing stress. Researchers discovered an association between positive self-talk and lower levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) and increased emotional resilience.
Another study explored the use of positive self-talk to make changes in health habits among adults. This study found that positive self-talk techniques led to behavior changes and consistency, especially when related to the desired goal.
Reframing negative self talk can build self-confidence, decrease stress, and create a more optimistic outlook on life.

I found the self-talks very inspiring. 50 plus years ago I cured myself from a deep depression with positive self-talks.. It was a difficult self-assignment but I persevered & succeeded to make it my life’s assignment. But recentluy some devastating circumkstances caused me to fight depression again after 50 plus years but I remembered the solution. I am totally in tune with your self-talks.
