Positive Self Talk

Positive self-talk is a dialog Clowns can have with themselves, that focuses on positive aspects of themselves and sometimes reframes negative things into positive things.

It is a way to be kind to oneself and in that way promote Self Love Flow within oneself.

Positive self-talk can reduce stress, boost resilience, and build confidence. Positive self-talk also leads to many health benefits, such as living longer, boosted immune system, increasing serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins in your body, increased vitality, greater life satisfaction, reduced pain, better cardiovascular health, and better physical well-being. 

Positive self-talk can overcome negative self-talk, with realistic beliefs about positive outcomes you want in your life, for instance, decreased negative emotions and increased positive emotions.

Examples might be “I am a good Clown, a nice Clown”, “I Love and I am Loved”, and Micko’s favorite: “I can learn from all the dumb mistakes I always make”.

With practice, positive self-talk leads to new habits and also new neural pathways in your brain. In effect, you can retrain your brain!

Eventually, your new ways of thinking about yourself will become automatic, in the same way that your old negative self-talk was automatic before!! Instead of ANTS (automatic negative thoughts) you will have APTS (automatic positive thoughts)!

This is also a good way to cultivate optimism.

See dispute negative thinking for more about this.
