Words created the World. This is a profound belief of Christianity. I had a friend whose name meant “bad luck”. He was called “bad luck” 17 years into his life. Well, we’re not hear to talk about his life but our lives and how transforming self talk has been found to be a useful tool to change the situations around us. Faith in scriptures mean that we can confess what is not as if it were, for example, that we are healed, saved, protected, despite senses showing the negative. This is a powerful phenomenon firmly and freely rooted in the concept of the power of words. The words we tell our selves.

This short piece is about transforming self talk. The self talk that transforms you and me from one state of mind, heart and thought to another. If you for example arrive a new place, you can chose to tell yourself that you are scared of meeting new people or that you are excited to do so. If you chose that you can be excited, then you agree with yourself that while being cautious, you are happy to meet others. This is a simple example but more complex life threatening situations are when you loss a loved one, are engulfed in a personal crisis, sin, challenge or some form of a hard situation in a family or with friends or colleagues. We all face these times but I am here to say that the world not withstanding, is a great place and you have enough time to support yourself through a personal effort called Transforming Self Talk.

We have prepared a one page Transforming Self talk worksheet to help you gather ahead of a crisis, some important self talks that you can do to cope with a stressful moment or time.

We hope that this helps you in reducing depression, and promoting your mental health and a better life outcome from challenging times and situations. This will also boast your faith and prayers and medication as you regain your self.

Best.
