One of the most overlooked topics in our society is self talk. Are we talking to kids about self talk? I didn't even give the term "self-talk" any consideration until I became a Father at 27 years old. Today, I ask my kids all the time, "How do you feel about yourself today?". Almost on the daily, I am opening the discussion about their thoughts about themselves. I never paid attention to this concept until I was in my 20's talking to my first psychologist right after I graduated from college at 22 years old.

For the last 13 years I have been focused on trying to improve the quality of my life. In this quest I have learned amazing lessons about self-talk and how it impacts our lives. I have learned that self talk is the fuel that goes into your motor. If you put bad fuel into your motor it is likely your motor will compromise performance. This same concept is true for the mind. Jim Kwik says your brain is a super computer and your self talk is the operating system. I have found that to be very true through my own experiences. 

We must show children at an early age the qualities of self talk and the benefits of creating positive thoughts about yourself. When digging into the idea of self talk I have found that Jim Kwik has some of the best content. Below is a link to his interview with Tom Bilyeu.
