Speaking to yourself out loud in an environment where there are people observing might be considered to be a dangerous, if not out of place trait. Those who catch you uttering exclamations to yourself might wonder if you have not taken leave of your senses. But it is a well known approach to engender self esteem and a positive state of mind to speak to oneself in a tone that is encouraging and up building. Positive reinforcement is a powerful strategy for strengthening ones mind, especially in a period of crisis when things are not going the way we planned them.
Psychological research has shown that it is the positive minded people who make headway in their chosen obligations. Such people are known to be so strong minded that no matter what people say about them they are not discouraged .They may not be able to control the environment they operate in all the time, but where they cannot get it under control, the adjust their thoughts and indeed actions to make headway and ultimately get close to the outcome that they desire in the course of things.
The process is a logical flow. Our thoughts determine our actions, our actions in turn out to get us to where we want to be or far away from our desired destination. There are very few actions taken by an individual that are not thought about first. If our thoughts help determine our actions, then those of us who want to succeed at what we do, ought to think about progress, success and all the positive thoughts we can muster to aid us in spurring ourselves into possibilities and progress we never imagined was possible. (Of course, that is not true) You imagined it and that is part of what helped bring it to pass! Remember the powerful thoughts are only part of the process. We have to back it up with action.
Therefore if you want a considerable change to occur in your life, begin by talking about what you want to happen to yourself and see what moves you can make that would take you closer to what you are talking about!
