What Are You Really Telling Yourself?

I tend to lean mostly to those books one would consider as "spiritual" but this is a book I have no qualms in recommending to those who may not be that enthusiastic about the "spiritual side" of life even though I know in my heart that all things - regardless of what they may look like - are spiritual at the deepest level of things.

This was a book I got when I was desperately looking for things to get me out of the hole I had dug for myself. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was responsible for my life. I could no longer blame my parents, or my teachers, or former priests or preachers...I was responsible for me. How scary! How intimidating! How freeing! How liberating! The first thing I had to come face to face with was how I was relating to myself because how we relate to ourselves is usually the same way we relate to the world and I became painfully aware that I was relating to myself in a not so friendly of a manner.

I thought I was a loser, a disappointment, a failure. I thought I was a mistake, an accident, God's screw-up. It's terrible the things we call ourselves. But then I looked at my world and it seemed as though I had every right to call myself these things because my world reflected these thoughts. I had no idea that there was a direct correlation between my inner thoughts and my outer world. We can keep nothing a "secret" to the universe because the universe will always gladly reproduce our deepest beliefs. "Oh, you think you are a loser?" BAM "Here's something to make you think the way..." "Oh, you feel like a dissapointment?" WHAM "How's this for disappointing?" Of course, the reverse of this is also true and that's not because the universe is neither positive or negative but is always completely neutral and whatever it is that we believe about ourselves, about others, about life in general is exactly what we will receive. The basic law of life is just as Jesus the Christ said, "It is done unto you AS you believe..."

99.9% of our overall beliefs are formed by what we are saying to ourselves about ourselves. Even if we are calling someone else "an idiot" it's not really a reflection of the other person as much as it is a reflection of what we believe about ourselves.

I read this book thoughtfully and willing to change some of my "inner scripts" and I thought at first that I was lying to myself by saying these positive things about myself and my life but I continued these things to myself and I actually began to slowly believe a few of those things and what was really strange was that my life was beginning to change in the same direction as my thoughts. The more tolerance I showed myself, the more tolerance I showed to my world. The more I told myself that I was smart enough or capable enough or strong enough, the more my world would give me these experiences to prove that these things were indeed, true.

We never have any reason to call ourselves ugly or fat or stupid or dumb. We must remember that we were created out of Love, of Light, of Life itself. You are not an accident or a mistake, you are here to give of the good that is within you now and the only way you can ever know that this good exists is to recognize it within yourself first and foremost because if you're waiting for someone on the outside to tell you first, you're gonna wait a long, long time.

Believe in your best self. Bring it forth. Be happy with your life because I promise you this, after you're gone, there will never be another person just like you. You are beautiful now and forever.

Peace and Blessings.

Work miracles with this book! And cure insomnia

The day before yesterday I used this book to create a self-talk tape about finishing my Masters thesis. By the next afternoon (yesterday), a MAJOR obstacle to finishing my thesis, suddenly disappeared! The obstacle was not even something I was doing, it wasn't something under my control. It was my advisor. For months I have been telling him I don't think the program he wants me to use to analyze my data, is going to work, and I've been saying we should use a certain other program. Suddenly yesterday, out of the blue, he says the first program won't work and we should use the other program. A small miracle!

Even if miracles don't immediately happen, I bet if you use Helmstetter's book, you will experience the other thing that happened since I created my self-talk tape two days ago: I had been feeling depressed and panicked about my thesis and how it was stalled. I was getting paralyzed with negative thinking, feeling steeped in stress, despair, disgust at myself, etc. contaminating every minute and every aspect of my life. Very counter-productive. As soon as I created my self-talk tape I felt all of this dark cloud lift off me, and I have felt happy, hopeful and energized, ever since.

I believe the way I have adapted Helmstetter's method turbo-charges its effectiveness. I urge everyone to buy his book. And I suggest the two adaptations I use.

How I use Helmstetter's method: 1.) Use Julia Cameron's (from her book "The Artist's Way") method of writing "blurts," to identify negative self-talk that's holding me back. Reverse all the blurts into positive statements. Ex: Blurt - "I'm such a procrastinator, I'll never get this done." Reverse - "You have received a lot of praise over the years for being incredibly focused and hardworking and completing huge, difficult projects by the deadline no matter what it takes." 2.) Believe that the Universe (a.k.a. God) is helping me. This is effective in the way prayer/meditation/visualization is. Excerpt from my self-talk tape: "The Universe wants you to finish your Thesis, so it is helping you in many ways, to finish it quickly and easily. The magic of the Universe is making your thesis exceptionally excellent. The outcome of your thesis is going to be great. The Universe is taking care of that. When you are on the right path and the Universe is helping you, you NEVER need to worry. You feel deeply happy and at peace as your thesis flows smoothly to completion."

I write "You" in my scripts because they feel more powerful than "I." I record my scripts with New Agey spa music in the background because music has a powerful effect on emotions and the subconscious (just ask Hallmark's ad agency). Also, after I finish speaking the script, I let the tape recorder and music run to the end. Then, when I listen to the tape, it finishes with the music. This is especially great at night when I fall asleep to the tape. Self-talk tapes help me relax and fall asleep!

It's very simple to record and you don't need to be a high-tech perfectionist about it. Just put on a CD, put the tape recorder on a table a couple feet in front of the music, turn on the music, press record, let the music play about 20 seconds, speak the script (repeating each sentence three times), then let the recorder and music run until one or the other finishes.

Listen to your tape every morning while getting dressed, drinking coffee etc., every day while washing dishes, every night as you fall asleep, in your car on the way to work...

Using this book will immediately help you feel wonderful and energized. It will quickly change your life. And it may even work a miracle or two for you.

Self talk

I think this book is excellent. Very insightful in how our thought patterns affects our behavior. Great suggestions and examples on how we can reverse those negative thoughts to produce more positive and effective thought patterns. I would recommend this book to anyone who understands how powerful the messages that we send our brain and accepts the idea that we do have control to change the way we think.

The Power of Positive Self Talk

Most people are unaware of their thoughts or how t hey talk to themselves. Few still are aware of the destructive affects of negative self talk. In this grounbreaking work, Dr. Helmstetter tells us What To Say When You Talk To Yourself.

Dr. Helmstetter explains that no thought of any kind, at any time can dwell in our minds without our permission. That we all have talents, skills and abilities and how to discover new talents all the time. Why what we believe in ourselves is what we become and t herefore why it is critical to believe in the best for ourselves.

Dr. Helmstetters book is 23 chapters encompassing 260 pages. It is an easy read and delivers fast, easy results. Several self talk scripts are offered on how to help from everything from stopping worry, stop smoking, taking responsibility to believing in the incredible you.

Sounds awesome doesn't it? And indeed it is. Self talk works. In addition to the techniques in this book, I have used the scripts from Dr. Helmstetters books American Victory and Network of Champions, two books about Amway in particular but appropiate for any network marketing or home based business. I adapted the scripts to meet my opportunity andboy did I get results. So I am a big believer in self talk. It works.

Thank you Dr. Helmstetter.

A great book for keeping a positive state of mind.

I liken this book to a good friend who inspires by saying just the right words. The author teaches you how to become that friend you always wanted. I didn't realized just how negative self talk can lead to low selfesteem and other psychological shortcomings until I read this book. The book outlines a very reasonable battle plan for tackling those moments when you wish you were someone else. Its easier to learn to stop putting yourself down when you know what to say when you talk to yourself. The book is filled with many excercises and methods for you to choose from.
