The things you tell yourself can raise or lower your confidence. Your internal dialogue can even change your body chemistry. You can create illness and disease by repeatedly telling yourself you are always sick. Doctors routinely record miraculous recoveries after patients disclose that they know they will get better.
At any time, you can change your mental, emotional, and physical levels of health. It comes from self-belief, and that begins with self-talk. Tell yourself that you can succeed in an endeavor, and you begin a process that creates confidence. It improves your ability as well. This is why some people with unlimited skills succeed, whereas more talented and capable people fail because they lack confidence.
When Sugar Pills Are Better Than Medicine
Have you heard of the placebo effect? This is the result of applying a false treatment with no active properties to physical or mental health issues. Even though the treatment might be nothing more than a sugar pill or some other ineffectual application, the patient recovers.
This is because they are told that the treatment they will receive is proven to be effective. It's virtually guaranteed to deliver the desired effect. It has no medicine or curative powers and is sometimes just a saline solution.
The patient recovers because he believes the placebo has amazing healing powers.
This miraculous transformation has been recorded for centuries. It works because of the incredible power of the subconscious mind to turn beliefs into physical realities. There are cases where placebos work better than traditional medicines or therapies to help a patient heal and recover.
Your Subconscious Mind Doesn't Care What You Tell It
Your subconscious has no opinion. It only believes what you tell it regularly. If your self-talk is positive and self-assured, your conscious actions will move toward competence and confidence. That's because the subconscious part of your mind controls about 95% of everything you do.
Most of the time, what you think and do is directed by your subconscious beliefs. Where do those beliefs come from? Your self-talk generates them. This is true even if there is evidence that what you tell yourself isn't currently valid.
Your Self-Talk Creates Your Reality
If your subconscious mind doesn't care what you tell it, and it leads to your conscious behaviors and actions, start saying positive things. Build yourself up; don't tear yourself down. Your actions are what create your reality. So, create a confident and self-assured existence by telling yourself that's the type of person you are.
