“If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang around with that person?” - Rob Bremer

Great point in Mr. Bremer’s quotation, n’est pas?

Directing your self-talk is an important part of your pursuit of excellence.

Why? Because you communicate more with yourself throughout each and everyday than you do anyone or anything else – computer/internet included.

One of the main emphases in todays communication training is that we only communicate 7% through the words we use, 38% via tonality, tempo, pitch etc and 55% through body language. That’s true – when communicating with others.

However the words we say to ourselves are taken literally, 100%, no interpretation whatsoever. Our brain doesn’t try to figure out what we meant. It (the brain) processes our words directly.

Here’s a simple example: when someone asks us, “How’re you doing?” and we respond, “Not bad.” a few things occur.

First, the message transmitted to the person asking the question is dependent on the factors mentioned above. Could be good, could be otherwise.  Next, and more importantly to the person responding, “Not bad,” is the message sent to the 70 trillion cells in the body. The message is that the person is bad, just not overly bad.

In other words the cellular email blast to your army of 100 trillion cells contains negative programming that will not move you in the direction you desire. Combined with emotional intensity the results can be disastrous.

Now, the good news is that if it can work against you, it can also work for you.

Pay attention for to your language for the next 30 days. If you catch yourself using disempowering language, stop, take a deep breath, say “Cancel”, and then make an empowering statement. The easy way to determine what would be an empowering statement is simply the opposite of the disempowering one.

It’s your communication with yourself that is the platform from which you can launch major changes in your life immediately.

It’s your life, isn’t it worth living on your terms?

The best is yet to come!
