Positive Self Talk

The power of positive self talk cannot be overlooked when it comes to weight loss and weight loss motivation tips.



We all have scripts that run through our brain all day long. These scripts are thoughts that define who we are to ourselves. They are how we define who we are, and often these scripts are unfortunately negative and self-limiting.

The Effects of Negative Self Talk

Over time and after repeating the same behaviors we learn that we are not in charge of many aspects of our life. We are often late, or forgetful, or in bad relationships, disorganized, not good with money, unable to handle pressure, or unable to get in shape. It can go as far as not believing that we deserve love and to be in a good relationship.

Negative self talk can lead to:

  • Lack of self-esteem and low self-belief

  • Negative outlook about yourself and the world

  • Depression, cynicism, pessimism, self-pity, victim mentality

  • Inability to change circumstances

  • Worst of all…

  • Self-fulfillment prophecies cause you to act in ways that achieve negative outcomes in your life.

You literally have to reprogram your thinking. Now this is not a quick or easy task. It does not happen in a few days, but over time in the same manner that you will get in shape by working out, you can get your mind on a better and stronger path.
