SENZON | Shifting your Internal Dialogue
|
Internal dialogue is something many people seem to overlook. Yet, internal dialogue is one of the most important aspects of experiencing growth and working toward your goals. Recently, I’ve noticed my internal dialogue seems to have been defaulted to a negative thought process — I tend to be extra harsh on myself, especially when under pressure in unideal situations. I’m beginning to realize how important it is to shift your internal dialogue when you find yourself in these hyper-pressurized situations. This negative internal dialogue, generally speaking, sounds something like: “Why can’t I handle this?” and “I can’t do this.”
Though, in the moment these urges to put myself down seem out of my control, or simply unimportant, they have major implications on the way we approach roadblocks and shortcomings in our lives.
