What to Say When you Talk To Yourself
Last night’s Super Bowl game was one for the record books!
All told, 24 Super Bowl records were topped and seven were tied.
“Most games played” to Tom Brady…
“Most games coached” to Bill Belichick…
“First Super Bowl won in overtime” to the Patriots… to name a few.
Before the game got interesting, I heard Joe Buck and the TV crew mention that no team in Super Bowl history had ever overcome a deficit of more than 10 points. I thought that was pretty lame! A 10-point lead can’t be overcome?! “Well, maybe tonight…The Patriots’ record-breaking comeback highlights an important truth about investing more time in the "'Truth-talk"' we listen to.
I remember the day I received a vivid lesson on the subtle power of what we hear. A friend of mine and I were enjoying a great time of fellowship over lunch. We were talking about "'Truth-Talk"' and the benefits we receive for listening to it on a daily basis. We sat there for over an hour totally caught up in our conversation with each other. Background music was softly being played.
As we walked out to our cars later, we both started signing the chorus to the song we recently heard. We hadn't even really listened to the song, yet it had penetrated our spirits and was now lingering in our cousciousness. Our mouths automatically started speaking what had been sown in our hearts through the gateway of our ears.
That's why you need to be so selective about what type of conversation you permit yourself to hear. Stop hanging around with people that constantly talk about their doubt and fears. You can't do it without being adversely affected. You may say, "oh , I just let those thoughts go in one ear and out the other." But that's impossible! Just as we ended up singing that song, you'll end up signing you friend's song of doubt and fear when times get tough.
You simply must guard your ears. The words you habitually listen to will become what you believe!!!
This "'Truth-Talk"' Video was inspired by Dr. Shad Helmstetter, who without dieting lost 38 lbs in 10 and a half weeks! In his book "What to say When You Talk To Yourself" he compares our mind to a computer and that it's programmed in a very similar way.
