There are numerous topics to address when it comes to the
topic of 'Thoughts.' However, in this post, I will just discuss 'Automatic
thoughts' and 'Self-talk,' both of which are fascinating topics.
What is the best way to describe 'Automatic thoughts'?
Thoughts are a fundamental element of human beings and
are continually flowing through our minds. We are usually thinking about
something purposefully, but other thoughts can emerge unexpectedly and without
our knowledge. These are pre-programmed ideas or 'Automatic thoughts'.
What is the best way to describe 'Self-talk'?
Self-talk is a continuous dialogue that most of us have
in our minds throughout the day. While we are awake or asleep, our ideas are always
flowing through our minds. These thoughts can take the form of reminding you
what needs to be done, giving yourself instructions, making decisions, making
mental notes while performing a specific activity, repeating certain
observations made in the environment or reciting specific positive or negative
statements to yourself.
How do automatic thoughts operate against us?
When we believe our automatic thoughts without
questioning their accuracy, they have the potential to quickly take over our
mental space. We have automatic thoughts that flash into our minds, and we
often believe them to be completely accurate. These thoughts, however, are
frequently unreasonable, harmful, or simply erroneous. For instance, I might
invite a friend to dinner. But for some reason, he did not arrive and did not
inform me. Now automatic thoughts enter my mind, thinking, "He must not
like me at all." I'm sure he's completely ignoring me right now. I'm not
up to par. If I believe these views, I will most likely feel horrible about
myself, whether consciously or unconsciously.
When we're feeling overwhelmed by unpleasant emotions,
our automatic thoughts tend to go wild. We can easily believe these emotions,
making us feel unworthy, unwanted, unimportant, or completely cut off from the
rest of the world.
The importance of ‘Self-talk’ and its impact on our
lives:
Self-talk is an interior conversation that we engage with
ourselves. The language we use to define ourselves has a significant impact on
our attitude, which in turn has an impact on our reality. It is important to
keep track of how we speak to ourselves since it has a significant impact on
our self-esteem and self-worth. The way we choose to define ourselves or the
experiences we face has a significant impact on how we feel about ourselves or
the event.
Self-talk is the continuous conversation you have with
yourself; it can be purposeful or random, internal or external; positive
self-talk almost always leads to excellent performance, whereas negative
self-talk almost always leads to poor performance.
Our internal narrative about ourselves is called
self-talk. It has a significant impact on our self-esteem. It's time to be
careful of and reflect on your self-talk if you don't think well of yourself or
don't feel good about yourself. If you pay attention to and monitor your
self-talk, you'll notice that it's a mix of conscious and subconscious thoughts
and beliefs that can come from your own life experiences or your parents'
language when you were a kid.
Negative self-talk can be harmful because it increases
our stress levels while lowering our self-esteem and self-worth because these
are the messages that are constantly given to our brain to learn the same.
Positive self-talk, according to several studies, lowers stress and anxiety
levels, makes us feel confident and good about ourselves, improves our ability
to cope with challenging situations, and helps us form positive and meaningful
relationships with others.
It is also true that when we don't understand where
certain things originate from, it is tough to change negative self-talk.
Understanding why we have negative self-talk makes it easier for us to make
positive changes.
