Conquer Negative Self-Talk Using This 1 Transformative Strategy

0:01
The most formidable obstacle
0:02
to your success is intangible.
0:05
It is faceless, soundless, odourless.
0:09
Yet it is compelling.
0:11
It is a voice inside your own mind.

Hi I’m Cath Chan
0:17
and I am a Confidence Coach.
0:18
I help transformed
0:20
doubters into winners
0:21
one powerful conversation at a time.
0:24
If you’ve been struggling with self-doubt
0:27
and feeling held back
0:29
by the weight of negative self-talk,
0:31
join me as we delve into
0:33
one of life’s most significant battles.
0:43
We’ve all been there.
0:45
That nagging voice in our heads
0:47
that keep telling us that
0:49
we are not good enough,
0:50
we’re not smart enough,
0:52
we’re not capable enough.
0:54
The truth is, your mind
0:56
is the real battlefield.
0:57
And it is often the only thing
1:00
that is standing
1:01
between you and your dreams.
1:03
Those voices in your head,
1:05
they aren’t always telling the truth.
1:07
Often, they speak out of fear,
1:10
of insecurity,
1:12
or self-doubts.
1:14
It’s like having an overly cautious
1:16
GPS in your head
1:18
that keeps recalculating your route
1:20
when you know you’re already
1:22
on the right path.
1:24
The thing is
1:25
these voices are not your true self.
1:27
They are echoes of your past experiences,
1:31
the opinions of others
1:33
or societal pressures.
1:35
They’re like that friend who believes
1:37
in conspiracy theories that defy all logic.
1:41
You can respect
1:42
their right to their opinions
1:44
but you do not have to
1:45
let it shape your reality.
1:47
The first step to overcoming
1:49
negative self-talk is to recognise that
1:52
these voices are not the real you.
1:55
They are just conditioned responses
1:57
that you have.
1:59
You have the power to guard your mind
2:01
against the toxic influence.
2:04
And when they creep in
2:06
acknowledge them but remember,
2:08
they are just thoughts and not facts.
2:11
To share my personal story,
2:13
I used to doubt my abilities constantly.
2:17
Especially when I’m starting
2:19
to do videos for social media.
2:21
I would think about whether
2:23
the contents are good enough,
2:24
and if anybody would listen to me.
2:27
But I challenge those thoughts.
2:29
And look, here we are,
2:32
connecting through this video.
2:34
The most compelling part of
2:36
overcoming negative self-talk
2:37
is the vision you have for your life.
2:40
Imagine yourself achieving those goals
2:44
and living your dreams.
2:46
Let the vision you have for your life
2:48
silence those unhelpful thoughts.
2:51
Remember, every successful person
2:54
has their own doubts
2:56
but they did not let it stop them.
2:59
So how do you guard your mind
3:01
against negative self-talk?
3:03
Challenge those thoughts!
3:05
Ask yourself:
3:06
Are those thoughts that you have
3:08
based on assumptions or facts?
3:12
What evidence do you have
3:14
that you cannot do it?
3:16
Have you achieved something similar in the past?
3:20
What is the worst that can happen?
3:23
These questions will help you see
3:25
the irrationality of your negative self-talk.
3:29
Negative self-talk can be the real obstacle
3:32
on your path to your success.
3:34
The thing is,
3:35
you have the power to control it,
3:38
to challenge it,
3:39
to silence it.
3:41
Guard your mind and
3:43
keep that vision of success in your heart.
3:46
You’re stronger than you think
3:47
and I believe you can do this.
