During this discussion Dave, highlights the importance of learning to communicate with ourselves in a positive and nurturing way to benefit our physical and psychological well-being.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We often develop negative self-talk through the interactions that we have in childhood.
- By removing ourselves from our day-to-day environment it can give us space to discover things about ourselves.
- Once you have recognised the loop of negative self-talk you can do something to change it.
- Negative self-talk can cause psychological and physical ailments.
- When you begin to like yourself, it helps your confidence to grow.
- It can be useful to observe your thoughts and make a note of the themes within them.
- The mind is incredibly powerful in giving us what it thinks we want or need.
BEST MOMENTS
- “You probably won't meet anyone as joyful and happy as me today.”
- “I grew up in a quite an unusual environment. It was very negative. I was always told that I was never going to be able to attain anything. I was stupid. So, I grew up, basically believing this about myself, which does not help in life.”
- “I went to an ashram for six months in India, away from everything, you know. I mean, this was back in 1999, so we didn't really have social media like we have now. But it was just fantastic to go to this place, and it was like a dream come true, I was meditating every day, and I was doing yoga. I met some incredible people. And I was really able to spend that time to go within myself.”
- “Everyone's different, you know, everyone's individual.”
- “Now you've come to a realisation that you do have choice within situations. How do you get yourself to that point where you recognise that? You know what? It's because my epiphany told me that all of this was illusionary, right?”
- “And once you've broken that loop and you've got that awareness of this, then you have choice.”
- But I have to say, you know, one of the most helpful things that's really helped me along my journey, is positive self-talk and recognizing negative self-talk. I do believe this is a bit of a pandemic in the world today. I believe it's responsible in some shape or form for all psychological and physical ailments. I truly believe it's very overlooked and not talked about enough, which is why I want to talk about it.”
