Jim Kwik: How to End Negative Self-Talk


[Music]
the goal is not to stop it completely
a little self-criticism can be a good
thing give you a reality check that
motivates you to be a better person but
there is a big difference between I need
to read more and saying things like I’m
not that smart I am not good enough I
have a horrible memory so studies show
that negative self-talk is associated
with everything from higher levels of
stress to depression so what do you do
with your negative self-talk
first here’s two things you do not want
to do you don’t fight them and you don’t
fight for them what do I mean about
don’t fight them what I mean by that is
don’t try to resist doing these things
because as you know what you resist
persists if I ask you not to think of a
big purple giraffe don’t think of a big
purple giraffe don’t think of a big
purple draft what do you do you see that
big purple giraffe in front of you right
so don’t resist it don’t fight them and
the other thing is don’t fight for them
don’t fight for them a lot of people
they’re always fighting for their
limitations they’re talking about how
they can’t remember things they can’t
remember names they’re so overloaded
they can’t keep up and here’s the thing
if you fight for your limitations you
get to keep them if you argue for your
limits you get to keep them so how do
you stop beating yourself up and replace
this negative self-talk you could do so
using the magical words Abra Cadabra
Abra Cadabra you know the word
abracadabra is derived from an aromatic
phrase that means I create as I speak in
the Hebrew language this phrase
translates into it came to pass as it
was spoken you know words indeed have
power as a memory aid I want you to
remember the first four letters Abra a b
r a
the a stands for acknowledge acknowledge
that it’s there don’t resist it remember
what you resist persists the be in Abra
stands for breathe breathe take a breath
now control breathing not only keeps
your mind your body functioning at their
best you could also lower your blood
pressure promote feelings of calm and
relax ation and help us to be able to
de-stress breathe in what you want and
then the third step is the our is
release release what you do not want you
can’t lead a positive life with a
negative mind so you want to as you
exhale exhale that breath out and let go
of the limitations let go of the hurt
let go of the helplessness and finally
the last a is aligned aligned use your
imagination and create a new phrase or a
new belief that is more aligned with
really who you are and what you really
want it might be something like I have a
great memory I learned things quickly
and easily my focus is my gift I really
do have a quick brain the magic trick is
to go beyond just saying it you really
want to experience it you want to go in
and see it step into this new belief and
see how it really feels so again when
you want to replace the negative
self-talk that holds you back remember
abra acknowledged breathe release and
align to what you really want do this
and you only SH the magic of your quick brain
