Today I am sharing with you a tool that I wish I had known to use years ago! And it is as simple as talking to yourself. In today's episode, I will be teaching about recent research that I learned (and applied in life) on a self-regulation tool called third-person self-talk and the power it has to help you effortlessly emotionally regulate. We dive into how it has been helping me and the types of situations it may help you in your life to get you unstuck and more aligned with consciously creating your life. This type of self-talk is so easy to do and you will learn more about the studies behind why it is effortless, so you can learn if this might be the right tool for you to try the next time you need to get your emotions in check. This might be the exact thing you need to help you get out of bed to do the workout, push yourself further, rest when you need, or take the action that gets you one step closer to taking charge of your story.
