Internal dialogue is part of our daily lives and gives us the ability to reflect about situations. We pay attention more to it than we do to others, in which we apply logic to what is happening here and now. We humans are like a sponge, we absorb emotions. When you are happy it makes you smile, but when you are exposed to negative language with unhappy thoughts it can have an effect on your mood. When you are able to have a positive internal dialogue it can help you feel more optimistic and improve your mood. Hence the saying “think positive thoughts”. When your internal thoughts are always thinking about positive things and not letting the little things upset you, you will be able to manage your mental well-being. Becoming aware of your internal dialogue you must first need to become more aware of it.
Once you become aware of your internal dialogue and the kind of patterns your thoughts, you can now make your first step toward changing them. Coming back to “thinking positively and not negatively” it is easy to fall into the pit of criticizing yourself all the time. There is always room for improvement, but failure should not stop you from achieving success. One way to consciously change negative thoughts, is by focusing on something positive instead. When we fail, do not think about what you have done wrong. Instead think about what you can do differently next time or what you have learned about your failure. We all tend to focus on the past and the future. Try to live and focus in the present. This quiets your internal dialogue a bit and allows you to concentrate on what is happening now. Lastly another way to help to be more positive is to think what you have to be grateful for.
