Truth Be Told With Lucinda Bassett- WHAT IS COMPASSIONATE SELF-TALK?
WHAT IS COMPASSIONATE SELF-TALK?
Compassionate self-talk is any kind of message or dialogue with yourself or someone else that makes you feel good, strong, happy, confident, relaxed, capable, loving, energetic, peaceful, or motivated. The technique can give you energy when you think you have none, a natural high, and the strength to achieve great things. Positive self-talk can make you feel like running that mile, taking that trip, writing that report, or speaking in front of several hundred people when only ten minutes before you were certain you absolutely couldn’t pull it off.
These are some of the purposes of learning compassionate self-talk:
- To empower and motivate ourselves and others.
- To calm ourselves in a difficult situation.
- To reassure ourselves when we are feeling anxious or depressed.
- To have compassion for ourselves and our friends.
- To talk to ourselves in ways that reinforce our strength and courage rather than our fear.
- To praise ourselves, to mean it and believe it.
- To talk ourselves out of a panic attack.
- To give ourselves encouragement when we think we’ve done something wrong.
- To make ourselves feel good.
