Self-Talk and The Drill Sgt.

Posted by Cedric on November 29, 2010 Sometimes as we get caught up in the day-to-day busyness of life it is so easy to forget that the Drill Sgt. even exists. We’re so used to him running the show it just feels like “us.” So we may not even notice the criticism or the feelings of frustration, resentment, hopelessness, despair, loathing and disgust that may be a part of the Drill Sgt’s “motivation through criticism.” It is important to commit to a few minutes each day when you’ll invite yourself to be conscious of your self-talk. Just a few minutes to try the techniques we’ve been exploring will make a huge difference in your use of food to cope and your life overall.

The Way You Talk to Yourself is Powerful

Posted by Cedric on November 23, 2010 The Authentic Self is the part of you that houses your feelings and your true essence. It is the real you. It is the one who is speaking when you are answering a question authentically about what you feel or what you need at any given time. It has the potential to be confident, courageous, secure and internally motivated. And it has the potential to be insecure, meek, fearful and a procrastinator. It all depends on how much trust your Authentic Self has in its worth and its right to have what it wants: to be peaceful and be happy. That’s why the communication you offer yourself internally is so important. You alone have the power to instantly change your world, simply by changing the way you communicate with yourself. That is a lot of power, and it is definitely worth learning how to access and utilize it.
