Health and Exercise

Most people tend to put themselves down. We do this without knowing it. This is bad for self esteem and confidence. In order to improve our health and well being, we have to improve our relationship with ourselves. That seems like a strange thing to say but we do have a real relationship with ourselves. We constantly talk to ourselves. We may not talk to ourselves out loud but we do it mentally. I will help you understand what self talk is and how you can use it to improve your self esteem and confidence. A high self esteem is beneficial in so many ways. It can give you the drive to do anything you want. The feeling of confidence starts from within and people with high confidence often describe that they feel “invincible”.

When you read a book or an article, we self-internalize the words that are being read. It helps reinforce what we just read. It is the same with your thoughts and emotions. When you have a problem, we tend to size up the situation with the thoughts of, “can” or “can not.” It is a natural process and understanding this is the key to self-improvement. This all starts with a few steps. Here are some advices on how to do just that.

When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, what do you say to yourself? Usually, it is either something good or something that puts yourself down. It is important to understand what happens at this point. Many people put themselves down. People tend to look at their flaws and pick out any imperfections they see or believe about themselves and blow it out of proportion. We are the worst critic we have.

We must understand that there is a big difference between being humble and being critical. It’s important to be humble in public but this is private. This is your mind. Try this. Every day while looking at that bathroom mirror, instead of calling yourself, “Fat, ugly” or whatever, say, “I’m hot!” or “I look good!” Do it every day. Every day. I can’t stress that enough. This is repetition. The key to this exercise is to say it often enough, you will start to believe it. It’s true anyways! You are hot! You are sexy! See how that can pick up your day? If you feel it inside, you will eventually externalize it.

With a little positive self-talk it will eventually change your attitude and views on yourself. You’ll will feel more happier and vibrant, just more confident. You will start to believe in yourself more and peoples’ opinion on you would start to have less and less value to you especially anything negative. “You are ugly,” or “fat,” whatever, what other people would say will not matter much any more because you know what they say is not true because of your self-talk. People talk down on you do not know what they are talking about. Cockiness is a good thing. The reason people frown on cocky people is because they want what you have, self-confidence, power, drive, and self-control. I describe this feeling as the realization of the truth. I am hot and that is the truth. The truth will always be true no matter what. This is the level you want to achieve.

Just remember people, stay positive. It more difficult than it may seem. Improving your self-talk will improve your confidence, self-esteem, drive, self-control, and your personal health. These little things add up and will make large improvements in your life. Start small and work your way up and repeat the positive comments to yourself because saying them once is not enough. Say, “I’m hot!” and repeat it a thousand times and soon it will manifest itself. Good luck to you all.
