“How you communicate to yourself, and others has profound consequences. It’s not just about what you say but how you say it. The words you choose can either lead you closer to your goals or push them further out of reach. We all understand that how we speak to others matters. If you want someone to listen, you know intuitively that phrasing something positively makes a difference.
Yet, many of us fail to apply the same principle when speaking to ourselves. This oversight comes at a steep cost, one that most people never realize until it’s too late. Speaking positively is about more than optimism; it’s about directing your mind and actions toward success. When you say, ‘Don’t spill your drink,’ what happens? The brain, in its effort to process the instruction, must imagine the very thing you don’t want.
It must imagine or represent spilling the drink. This principle is simple yet profound. Language creates mental imagery, and the images you create become the blueprint for your actions. If you keep telling yourself, ‘Don’t fail,’ your mind focuses on failure. If you’re constantly thinking, ‘I don’t want to be late,’ your brain latches onto ‘late.’ This is how unintentional thoughts lead to undesired outcomes.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
Consider this in the context of children. If you tell a child, ‘Don’t forget your homework,’ their brain first pictures forgetting. Contrast this with saying, ‘Remember your homework,’ which focuses their attention on the positive action. The same principle applies to you, every day, in every situation. Your brain follows the instructions you give it. If those instructions are negative, you end up working against yourself.
The cost of not learning to communicate positively, both with others and within your own mind, can be devastating. Negative self-talk leads to self-doubt, procrastination, and even failure. Over time, it fosters a mindset rooted in fear and limitation. You tell yourself, ‘I’ll never be able to do that,’ or ‘This is just too hard,’ and soon, those thoughts become self-fulfilling prophecies.
Research in cognitive behavioral therapy has shown that negative self-talk reinforces neural pathways associated with stress and anxiety, making it harder to break free from unproductive patterns. The cost isn’t just mental, it’s emotional, physical, spiritual, relational and financial. You lose time, miss opportunities, and sabotage your own happiness and success. Understand this. You are consciously preventing success.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
People say they self-sabotage which in itself, by saying it is affirming it. Subconsciously you cannot sabotage yourself. Your brain can ONLY DO what it has learned to do. That means it is fulfilling patterns and habits it wired in while you were growing up. SO, you cannot unconsciously sabotage yourself. However, you can thwart your progress by the decisions you make, the word choices and imagery you use and your actions or inaction.
Wouldn’t you prefer to become aligned and congruent with happiness and success? You can by learning to speak positively, with the guidance of a skilled coach. You can transform. When you practice phrasing things in the affirmative, such as, ‘I am capable,’ ‘I will succeed,’ or ‘I can handle this’, you train your brain to focus on what’s possible. You strengthen the neural pathways associated with confidence, optimism, and resilience.
Research has demonstrated that the brain is incredibly adaptable. With consistent practice, you can literally rewire your thinking to support your goals and aspirations. Imagine having a coach who helps you master this skill, who guides you step by step to replace self-doubt with self-assurance, and who holds you accountable for the way you speak to yourself. Working with a qualified coach accelerates your progress.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
You’re provided feedback, tools, and strategies you might not discover on your own. You learn to recognize and interrupt negative thought patterns before they take root. You begin to cultivate a mindset that expects success, and because you expect it, you achieve it. The benefits are immense. When you learn to speak positively and focus on what you want, you unlock your potential.
You become more productive, creative, and motivated. Problems that once seemed insurmountable become manageable, even exciting challenges. Positive communication improves your relationships, your career, and your overall quality of life. You find yourself acting toward your goals with confidence and ease, rather than hesitation and fear. The cost of not acting now is immense.
Every day spent in negative thought is a day lost to stress, worry, and missed opportunities. You risk staying stuck in the same cycles, year after year, wondering why things never seem to change. But the moment you decide to invest in yourself and take control of your mindset, everything changes. You open the door to new possibilities, opportunities, and outcomes.
