Bipolar and Negative Self Talk

It's hard to gain that belief. I know. So the first thing you need to do is remove all negative words from your self talk. You can't say what you don't want. The subconscious only hears the words. If you say you don't want to be broke, you most definitely will stay broke. That was one of my most common self talk topics.

I would instead tell myself, "I'm doing the best I can and it's ridiculous to think otherwise." Or, "This is out of my hands right now so it's best that I focus on getting well." Or as my life really did begin to slowly improve, "It's all coming together and I am patient enough for it to work."

Verb tense is important. You have to phrase everything in the present tense as if it is taking place the way you want right now.

It's a little weird to talk to yourself in such a way but give it a try. It was a big step in getting my life back. I still have to do this from time to time but I don't fall into the trap anywhere near as much as I used to. But I stay on guard. I'm better, hugely so, but I still strive to continually upgrade my position in life.

So watch what you're telling yourself in your most vulnerable moments. If you tell a kid all his life that he is no good, chances are he will become a criminal. Your subconscious is your kid. Build your kid's personality the way a proper parent would.
