\u201cWe\u2019re finding the best in ourselves and making it true.\u201d \u2013Shad Helmstetter

Much of what we believe is programmed into us when we\u2019re young \u2013 and then it shows up in the things we say to ourselves. Statements like \u201cI\u2019m always late,\u201d or \u201cI just can\u2019t lose weight,\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019s my first year in the business; I can\u2019t achieve success,\u201d stem from these beliefs, which aren\u2019t often the truth.

 

In this episode, Brian Buffini shares one of his favorite interviews from the past \u2013 with Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D., author of What to Say When You Talk to Yourself. Dr. Helmstetter reveals his research findings and offers tips to help us turn negative self-talk into positive affirmations.

 

You\u2019ll learn about the five levels of self-talk, why the small decisions we make each day are determined by our automatic programming, and how not to absorb other people\u2019s negative programming. By the end of this episode, you\u2019ll have the tools you need to reprogram your self-talk.
