Power of Positive Self Talk

In brief:
Intrapersonal communication is a strong part of self understanding and positive self talk. Intrapersonal involves the self or mind and communication is the flow of information. So intrapersonal communication is essentially self talk. If you are like most people, you'd be thinking that self talk is for those who get taken away by people in white clothes and get put in padded rooms. But then again, if you are like most people you'd be having the same poor results in your relationships. Successful people are the ones who achieve their dreams and desires, the ‘looney ones’ that talk to themselves.

Imagine What It Would Be Like

Do you know what intrapersonal communications is? Many have not even heard of the word, yet it can be one of your most valuable tools to achieving your goals. Many ask, "Isn't that like interpersonal?" No.

Intra means self, getting personal with your self. And I mean intellectually. Intrapersonal communications is your thoughts and conversations with yourself. And the ones that can benefit you the most are the ones that use all of your senses. You see when you tell your self what you desire and see the image in your mind, you are bring clarity to your desire. When you add in your other senses, of what it feel, smell, taste like etc, you are then reinforcing the importance to yourself.

I think that in today's society we are taught not to talk to ourselves. There is almost a stigmatism that you are some how not ok if you do. Yet, the irony is that, the successful people in the world, the ones that succeed and achieve their dreams and desires, the ones that are the movers and the shakers, talk to themselves. And they do it daily.

They are:
Encouraging themselves when things get challenging. They know that it can be easy to slide into fear, worry or negativity and that it is important to stay positive. They understand it's important to look for solutions and be open to ideas to realize that all things are possible. You can't do this if you are bemoaning what is happening to you. They also understand that it is through failures that we learn the best and the fastest. They see the challenges as stepping-stones to the next level and they remind themselves of that factor. As well, they are asking themselves:

I have heard from many of them that they will go one-step further and even meditate on the questions they have until they answers or solutions come to them. And sometimes, when they see a solution, they think forward and ask, "And then what? What else do I need to know and do to succeed?"

This is one of the reasons that their success is almost assured. They know what they want and they know how they are going to get it. Their communication skills with themselves, are practiced and followed through on.

I have also noticed that people who don't speak with themselves, will just quickly make a new years resolution and then forget about it. There is no clarity or details on what it is or how it will happen. There is no emotion or desire driving them towards it. Then another year goes by and they sit and wonder why hasn't anything changed.

My desire for you is to choose to make 2006, the year that you make a difference. The year that you discover the value and benefits of Intrapersonal Communication. Choose now to find out who you really are. Start talking with yourself today and really get to know yourself on a more personal level.

haha. Glad to hear it helped you so much Lana.

Here's something you might find interesting. You always did talk to yourself. You can't not talk to yourself. It's just a matter of making it work for you through positive talk instead negative talk.

hi, i just wanted to chime in on this subject. i have had social anxiety disorder for many yrs, and this is one of the things i started doing to get rid of my old anxiety-provoking, irrational thoughts, and replace them with rational, positive thinking. i have been doing "self-talk" and it has dramatically improved my life in so many ways, and i will never stop doing it, it only works to improve yourself.
theres nothing wrong with visualizing what you want (and need) in your life, and i hope other people can realize this, so everyone can reach their potential in life.
