What beliefs are you reinforcing every time you talk?
Yesterday I was talking to a guy about sleep and how our bodies use it to physically recover from what we put them through during the day.
He believed seven hours was his number. Anything less meant he did not get enough sleep. I understood because I used to have my own belief about sleep. There was a time when I was getting only two or three hours a night and convinced myself I was an insomniac. I said it enough that eventually my mind accepted it as part of who I was.
Then I started questioning the belief.
I realized there were days when I simply was not demanding enough from my body to require the recovery I thought I needed. Today I challenge my body throughout the day, and my sleep recovery is usually close to perfect. Do I sometimes wake up thinking I am tired? Absolutely. But I have learned to question whether my body is actually tired or whether my mind is repeating an old story.
And that made me realize something much bigger.
Your mind is always listening.
Not only when you talk to yourself, but when you talk to other people. Every time you say I cannot, life is hard, people cannot be trusted, I am terrible at this, or nothing ever works out for me, your mind hears it. Repeat it enough and you reinforce the belief behind it.
Your words are constantly teaching your mind what to believe.
So listen to yourself today. Listen to what you say internally and what you say out loud to others. Question the beliefs behind those words. Keep the ones that help you grow and replace the ones that limit you.
Become your greatest supporter instead of your greatest critic.
Because your mind is always listening.
