Book 7: What To Say When You Talk To Yourself
Author: Shad Helmstetter
Recommended For: Anyone who wants to be in a positive state of mind all the time
This must one of the best book I have ever read in my whole life! I have read numerous number of motivational and informational books within these past 1 year and this books tops the list!
I got to know about this book when I heard it being recommend by one of the diamonds in one of the tape. I found this book by surprise at Sans Bookshop. There was only 1 copy. At that time we had to go buy books from outside. I was actually looking for Prosumer Power when I found this book. Of course I immediately bought it.
Dr Shad talks about how what we talk can effect the life we have now. You see, when we speak something, our brain immediately process it and made it come true. The brain does not recognize positive from negative so it mainly process it. The brain believes what you tell it most. So when you say, “I’m so stupid, I’m so clumsy” The brain actually takes these words and process it to make it true..so even when you are not clumsy, you keep saying you are clumsy, you will be clumsy one day.
Your brain is like your personal computer. If it is programmed negatively, you will end up negative. However when programmed positively, you will be positive. Its that simple. That’s why one of the 3 powers say: Power of spoken word. Every word that comes out from your mouth is like a prayer. Say it often enough it will become true. You might as well make it a positive one.
Often you see people complaining about everything in their lives, their job, their boss, their spouse..it probably wasn’t that way until they keep talking about it! Therefore, of whatever you are going to say is not going to benefit you or the person next to you, do not say it. Just smile.
I can talk forever about this phenomenal book so you gotta get this book right away. Some of the self talk sentences are so good that I typed it nicely and put it in my planner. In this case if I think things are not going so good, I just open it and read it aloud.
Some examples of things you can say to yourself:
I allow no one else, at any time, to assume control or responsibility over my life or over anything that I do. My responsibility to others is an extension of my own responsibility to myself.
I have learned to recognize that many problems carry with them benefits and potential opportunities which would not have presented themselves had the problem not occurred in the first place.
A must have for everyone.
