Positive internal thinking Continued

Last topic we talked about the thought process and internal thinking we do on the daily bases. Well today lets look more into that negative side that comes up so unconsciously and how it affects us. We tend to think our thoughts are just thoughts, but they are not and have been shown to affect our brain chemistry. That is why research has found that optimists, who have a positive self-talk and belief in themselves, have better physical and psychological health than those of us that tend to be pessimistic with a negative self-talk. 

Very often the quality of our self-talk has been influenced by our parents, friends, peers, media, school, etc., when we were younger. We can get into a loop especially with chronic stress in which the self-talk is mainly hypercritical of ourselves. It can influence our self-esteem, levels of confidence and our relationships. Our self-talk is influenced by our beliefs about ourselves, other people and the world in general.

Some of our negative self-talk can be in the form of Automatic Negative Thoughts. These ANTs can just pop into our heads and can also be just below our conscious level. Usually when we are not stressed we have a ratio of 2:1 positive to negative thoughts, however when we are under chronic stress our thinking becomes more negative and, while these negative thoughts would help us to deal with a physical threat to our well-being thousands of years ago, they are absolutely unhelpful when dealing with the psychosocial stressors we encounter in our modern world. In fact the type of negative thinking that the fight/flight response triggers makes complex problem solving more difficult.

To help to reduce our stress it is important to identify these Automatic Negative Thoughts, and take action to deal with them. 

We will continue this conversation and thought reviewing another post. Give feedback and tell me how this topic makes you feel.

Positive Internal Thinking

Sometimes our thoughts are what drives us. To keep going, to remember and sometimes even to give up. When we think about our life and review everything that has occurred this is all a mental process. When we decided that we will not continue doing something its all a internal thought process. Our thought process determines how are life goes so if you want a prosperous life u better start thinking good. According to (Dr Alice Domar PhD, Clinical Psychologist) he believes We have about 50,000 thoughts a day most of which are automatic. Our internal self-talk will be a mixture of positive, negative and neutral thoughts, (healthy self-talk ratio is around 2 positive thoughts to every 1 negative thought); it is important to understand that this internal dialogue can influence our feelings and behaviours. If our self-talk is mainly negative, harsh and unrealistic it can exacerbate any stress we are under. In this silent self-talk we are often our own judge, jury and executioner with no right of appeal and no extenuating circumstances. We can call ourselves useless, worthless, stupid, a failure, horrible and this is a form of psychologically beating ourselves up, it is literally a form of psychological torture. Someone once wrote: "If we talked to our friends in the same way that we talk to ourselves we would not have any friends."

The problem with our self-talk is that we never question what we say to ourselves to check it's accuracy, we just listen to the negative statements day in, day out and like the drip, drip of water on stone, if we keep up excessive, negative internal self-talk saying negative things for long enough, we begin to believe it even if it's not correct. We just accept it as being true when often it is not, or when it is true, we blow it out of proportion. How do you feel about Positive thinking? TO BE CONTINUED...... 

A New Instrument

Well I would like to say I have discovered a new so called instrument on social media. His name is Kenny Muhmmad.

Kenny Muhammad (born December 3, 1968) is an Beatboxer occasionally referred to as The Human Orchestra, a moniker he affirmed by performing David Eaton's composition.

Kenny is known for using a technique called the "wind technique", which heavily utilizes breathing as an element of the beatbox routine. This creates a unique effect of audibly inhaling and exhaling while simultaneously creating percussion sounds with the mouth.

In 1992 Kenny toured globally with a cappella singing group Rockapella as a vocal percussionist for their 1992 tour. Kenny told the group that he preferred to be introduced for his vocal percussion solos as Kenny X. Since then, he has worked with many other artists, a large proportion from outside the hip hop genre, including Public Enemy, Mindless Self Indulgence, Matisyahu, Squarepusher, The X-Ecutioners, Regina Belle, The Gap Band, Maxwell, Angie Stone, Stevie Wonder, Vernon Reid, GEN.EX, D.A. Smart and Take 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anlZc0T8rfo What does this do for music? And where Can This take  Us
