My self talk was terrible for years. Any time I made a mistake, or failed to live up to my own ridiculously high standards, the voice in my head would destroy me. "You're worthless" "You can't do anything right" "You're such a [insert expletive here]." I'm happy to say that through a combination of affirmations and therapy, I've greatly improved it over the last 10 years, but I'm still always on the lookout for new techniques. Today, I want to share one of the best ones I've ever found. Dr. Peter Attia (Author of Outlive) shared a method on the Modern Wisdom podcast that he says completely fixed his negative self talk. It's simple: 1. Notice when you're about to speak to yourself negatively. 2. Rather than engaging with it, pull out your phone and record a voice memo of what you would say to a friend if they had just made the same mistake as you. For example, if you get a poor performance review at work, rather than berating yourself for it—pull out your phone and record what you would say to a friend who had just gone through the same thing. Attia says that after doing this 3-5 times per day for a few months, the negative voice in his head had almost completely disappeared. He even says that it's "The single greatest example of neuroplasticity I have ever witnessed." Give this a try, and let me know how it goes. ——— ♻️ Repost this if you've struggled with your self talk.
