A bookreview of What to Say When You Talk to Yourself.

What to Say When You Talk to Your Self

By Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.

This book was recommended to me and for several weeks I thought about buying it and didn’t. Finally, needing a decent book to read I bought it thinking it would be another book I would start, find too pop psychology-ish and put on the shelf to collect dust.

Not so. Not even close. The principle behind the book is those subtle and not so subtle messages we give and receive that are holding us back. The messages are often negative and filled with why we can’t do, achieve or acquire something we want. These messages undermine our confidence and our belief in ourselves. Before you know it, daily tasks are filled with negative thoughts or phrases. A case in point: if I drop the mail coming back from the mailbox I’m likely to say to myself “Well, that was dumb!” With no positive force to counter this negative energy we believe the negative image is who we are.

Shad Helmstetter gives the reader clear and concise instructions on how to get through the negative talk; turning years of faulty images into positive, confidant ones. He describes in detail how the brain works and why, if we are to reach our true potential, we must learn to be a well spring of positive energy.

Once you begin reading the book, you’ll begin to notice how often our ideas are phrased in a negative context and you’ll stop, often mid-thought, to rephrase the idea in a positive way.

This book is eye-opening and life changing. It has allowed me to begin the transformation process of not believing I was worth what I wanted out of life into being fully aware of the positivity needed to attract those things I want for myself and my loved ones. Beyond the “stuff”, there’s a whole world of well-being, joy and abundance just waiting for each of us.
