Research has shown majority of our self-talk is negative therefore our thoughts are working against us rather than for us (Helmstetter, 1982<sup>2<\/sup>; Stranulis & Manning, 2002<sup>3<\/sup>). These negative thoughts create feelings of anger, irritation, frustration, hopelessness, and disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does Everyone experience an internal dialogue?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyday life is said to be filled with a constant stream of self-talk, which we define as inner speech that is self-directed and\/or self-referential (Brinthaupt, Hein, & Kramer, 2009)<sup>4<\/sup>. Ninety-six percent of adult\u2019s report engaging in an ongoing internal dialogue (Winsler, Feder, Way, & Manfra, 2006)<sup>5<\/sup>, and self-talk is reported in over 25% of sampled moments (Heavey & Hurlburt, 2008)<sup>6.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does self-talk improve performance<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the principle that what people say to themselves affects the way they behave (Ellis, 1976)<sup>7<\/sup>, sport research regarding the use and effectiveness of self-talk has received considerable attention in recent years and has found that in some way does affect our performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Self-Image<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a 2013 study<sup> 8<\/sup>, scientists studied anorexic women as they walked through their labs \u2014the ladies turned their bodies sideways upon entering doorways, as if they were overweight and could not fit through the door. This is because the way we view ourselves \u2014 and the nature of our self-talk \u2014 can shape the entire physiology of our self-image and perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Self-Talk & Anxiety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conroy and Metzler (2004)<sup>9 <\/sup>explored the ways self-talk impacts cognitive anxiety in sports performance. They looked at state-specific self-talk- meaning the way athletes spoke to themselves. They measured these alongside expressions of situation-specific trait performance anxiety: fear of failure, fear of success and sport anxiety. They found the strongest results for self-talk associated with fear of failure and sports anxiety, essentially the athletes experienced higher anxiety when using negative self-talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning Improvements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrisberg (1993)<sup>10<\/sup> found that self-talk can help to improve learning performance, by assisting with the concept of \u2018chunking\u2019 complex information, which has been proven in aiding recall, and carrying out complex tasks accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Changed Behaviors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todd, Oliver, and Harvey (2011)<sup>11<\/sup> carried out a review of the literature and research surrounding self-talk , they found that positive self-talk interventions are effective in mediating cognitive and behavioral change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improved self-confidence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approaching life with a positive self-talk approach can help to boost your self-confidence. Individuals who score highly for optimism and positive self-esteem are more likely to achieve their goals, score good grades and recover quickly from surgery (Lyubormisky, 2008)<sup>12<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Negative self-talk & Depression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negative Self Talk has been widely linked with disorders such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, aggression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (Leung and Poon, 2001<sup>13<\/sup>, Owens and Chard, 2001)<sup>14.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While \u2018flipping\u2019 self-talk to positive has also been shown to mediate some really great results with young people diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (Kendall and Treadwell, 2007)<sup>15.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Negative thoughts causing your brain not to think?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers found that repetitive negative thinking may increase your risk for Alzheimer\u2019s disease<sup>16<\/sup>.\u00a0 Prolonged negative thinking diminishes your brain\u2019s ability to think, reason, and form memories. Essentially draining your brain\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not all negative thinking or self-talk is \u2018bad\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A growing body of research suggests that negative thinking is also good and if strategically pursued, has positive impact too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her Research, Norem, Julie. (2001)<sup>17<\/sup> found that Defensive Pessimism \u2013 is a strategy of imagining the worst-case scenario in any situation- can help individuals to do their best by preparing for the worst.\u00a0 Pessimists perform more poorly when forced to think positively, since negative thinking is often an effective strategy for managing anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research has shown that <em>defensive pessimist<\/em> performs just as well as strategic optimists, and both groups show performance decrements and increased anxiety when prevented to use their preferred strategies (Cantor, Norem 1989)<sup>18<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negativity encompasses things like critical thinking and caution, which heighten your senses and have the potential to improve your results. (Kashdan 2014)<sup>19<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some ways negative thoughts and emotions may be useful; according to Kashdan and Diener<sup>:<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Guilt <\/strong>is a powerful motivator for personal growth and improvement and helps individuals regulate their behaviour and behave in ways that are consistent with their moral compass.<\/li><li><strong>Fear<\/strong> provides needed restraint and protection when you are in a situation where physical or emotional harm are possible and helps you to avoid harm.<\/li><li><strong>Selfishness <\/strong>and <strong>narcissism<\/strong> promote bravery.<\/li><li><strong>Anger <\/strong>drives creativity and gets things done as well as giving you the courage to stick up for yourself and others.<\/li><li><strong>Self-doubt<\/strong> motivates increases in performance with improved practice.<\/li><li><strong>Boredom<\/strong> allows individuals to discover their interests and determine where to focus one\u2019s efforts.<\/li><li><strong>Frustration<\/strong> lets you know when you are making inadequate progress toward an important goal.<\/li><li><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> can be helpful because without it, small issues can develop into serious threats.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Todd B. Kashdan argues that in low in moderation, in the right situations, negative emotions (anger, guilt, and anxiety) can be tremendously beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can agree that as human\u2019s we experience both positive and negative thoughts, as well as emotions; and there needs to be a balance in our internal thoughts and emotions to make us \u2018whole\u2019. We can reach a balance between the thoughts of our minds, and the actions of our behavior ultimately aiding us to live more peacefully and knowing when to seek help when our \u2018thoughts\u2019 take over our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more articles follow me Tamara Al-Halaseh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">www.Ever-Journey.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>References :<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Bhikku T 1997 , Yamakavagga Paris, translated from Pali<\/li><li>What to Say When You Talk to Your Self Paperback \u2013 June 20, 2017 by Shad Helmstetter Ph.D<\/li><li>Stanulis, R.N., Manning, B.H.
