What To Say When You Talk To Your Self

1. The first ingredient is: in order to work, and keep working, the new idea (or message) has to become physically wired into your brain. Unless the new messages or directions are actually wired into your brain’s neural networks, even the best of the ideas will work only temporarily. 2. The second ingredient for creating lasting, positive mental changes is: understanding how your brain gets wired, and the role you play in the wiring process. An understanding of how your brain gets programmed puts you in direct control of the process of creating the change and making it last. 3. The third ingredient for creating positive personal change––which always begins with mental change––is: a new, word-far-word set of directions, new programming to both your conscious and subconscious minds. That means a specific “programming vocabulary” which is worded in a specific way, that anyone can use at any time, to replace the old negative programming with positive, productive new directions. The only solution that includes all three of the essential ingredients that create lasting change in the brain, is “self-talk.”
