What'd You Say?!
 You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. |
But All of that Aside… |
When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living soul. This is unfortunate. It's time to step back. Part of walking this path is adjusting your self-talk (or inner dialog). Make a practice of never saying to yourself something you could not say to your best friend. After all, shouldn't you at least be as important as they are in your life? If you don't think this really matters, then consider this: A constant stream of negativity will impact how you think, feel and act. It affects your ability to be creative, and your physical health too. It really is in your best interests to pay attention to what you tell yourself. |
Regardless… |
You don’t have to be in the PeaceWalker Evolution course to start paying attention how you are talking to yourself. Are you encouraging yourself or do you commonly have darker thoughts? Are you feeding yourself positive or negative reinforcement? If you’re not careful you could very well begin hand grenading your own success and well being. Before you know it, you’re part of the problem! So, when you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, stop, relax, breathe. refocus yourself, find something positive to tell yourself. No, it doesn’t need to be Pollyanna, or disingenuous, but stop being so negative and look at some of the positive things! |

Dialing Things In… |
Learning to protecting yourself, deal with conflict and lead a more powerful Life can be counter intuitive in many ways. Rather than going at it alone, it’s better if you have a path to follow and people to help share the journey. So, I invite you to… Join us on our Free PeaceWalker Network. It’s a place where you can connect more deeply to this community and get some unique training opportunities (online and Live) on how to protect yourself and those you care about. Why?! Because, learning how to protect yourself (and others) is more than buying a gun or taking martial arts. You’ll need more than that to keep yourself (and those you care about) safe, healthy and happy in today’s day and age. If your curious, then follow the link below to get access to our free content and community. https://peacewalker.mn.co/ |
Keep Going, ~Craig |
