What to Say When You Talk to Your Self by Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.

BATB score: 5/10 ❤️‍🩹

second time reading this book and still 50-50 love/hate this book; Shad Helmstetter - truly reaping the goodie passive income of this book since 1986 (before I was born) and then upselling with his self-talk plus app with a monthly subscription of $19.99, payment via his own website to bypass Apple Store and Google Play store 30% transactions fee; you ahh, business man much

Best to: there’s many ways to self-hype: silent self-talk (voices in your brain), self-speak (voice it out), self-conversation (act it out split into two person having a convo - I love doing this), self-write (cue cards), recorded self-talk (read out your script and replay that audio every day)

BATB lingering thought: you missed out SELF-SING-ALONG-SONG, I strongly recommend “Self Love” by Shanin Blake as your morning good vibe soundtrack

Best for: you have to be your own cheerleader, you talk to yourself the most

Best as: you must self-hypnotize “I smile a lot. I am happy on the inside and I am happy on the outside. I am positive. I am confident. I radiate good things. I am full of life. I like life and I’m glad to be alive.”

Best quotes: “seventy-seven percent of everything we think is negative, counterproductive, and works against us”

“We are too busy staying alive to figure out how to live.”
