#2171 What To Say When You Talk to Yourself by Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.

Your self-talk is shaping your life—on autopilot.

Today’s book: What to Say When You Talk to Yourself by Dr. Shad Helmstetter—a powerful reminder that your thoughts—and especially your self-talk—are programming your mind, habits, and destiny every single day.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Your brain believes your self-talk. Whether helpful or harmful, repeated messages shape your beliefs and behaviors.
  • Most self-talk is negative—and unconscious. You’ve been programmed by past voices. It’s time to rewrite the script.
  • You can choose your programming. Speak to yourself with intention, clarity, and consistency to install new beliefs.
  • Use affirmations with purpose. Repeat positive statements in the present tense—and back them up with action.
  • Repetition builds reality. Like physical reps in the gym, mental reps create new neural pathways.

Your mind is always listening. What message will you give it today?
