Inner Reflection
| Who do you see when you look in the mirror? How do you talk to yourself? A science experiment was conducted regarding plant growth depending of the tone of speech spoken to the plant. Plants that were spoken to positively showed greener leaves as well as more growth. Plants that were spoken to negatively displayed stunted growth as well as withering leaves in places. Looking at that science experiment and comparing it to emotional growth in a human, we found positive communication verses negative communication has a tremendous impact on emotional health overall wellbeing. It is important to understand the concept that you can not control the words anyone else says, however, you can most certainly control what you say to yourself. The concept of self talk can play a pivotal role in self-perception and can be directly linked to self esteem. Everyone has a love tank inside of them. Our words have the ability to either fill it or deplete it. In life, utilizing meaningful language is similar to making a bank deposit. The more deposits you make, the more your money grows. We develop ways to teach people how to positively self talk to increase positive emotional growth. Perspective is something that makes a huge difference in outlook. It’s your perspective that determines if something is positive or negative. Learning strategies to look at things that appear negative and turning them into growth opportunities supports positive self talk. Another example of this is when you are playing a game that we all refer to as “life”. Just when you think your ahead, that feeling of dread and defeat can wash over you indicating that you can’t win. Next, the whispers of regret start playing in your head that won’t let you forget past failures. We help by providing strategies to support putting negative self talk at rest and utilizing paths to use self talk as a building block to self love and goal achieving pathways. Next time you look in the mirror utilizing positive self talk, you will see yourself evolving into the best version of you! |
