Welcome to today’s episode of ‘The BraveHearted Woman’ Podcast with your host and braveheart coach, Dawn Damon where your heart meets your life’s vision. This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.
In this timely episode, let me delve into the power of self-talk and its influence on our lives. Through the experience of a Japanese scientist, Dr. Masary Emoto, we’ll see how positive and negative words can impact our daily lives.
But first, what self-talk is?
Self-talk is the inner dialogue or the way we talk with ourselves in our minds. It includes the thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes we hold about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Self-talk can either be positive or negative, and it can have a significant impact on our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.
So as I urge you, listeners, to be mindful of our self-talk to emphasize the power of positive words and affirmations in renewing and growing our souls, in addition to taking control of the spirit. Also, that positive mindset improves our self-esteem.
If you want to know what my 5 tips for empowering women to change their self-talk are, tune in to this week’s episode and start speaking life today!
And remember, being aware of our self-talk and learning to replace negative thoughts with positive ones can help us improve our mental health and achieve our goals.

Quotations:
“God created us to be spiritual people, He put us in a body. So we're having a human experience in this body. But he also gave us a soul ~ a soul that needs to minister to a soul that needs to grow, stretch, and be renewed your soul is your mind and your will and your emotions.”
“Words matter ~ they produce life, or they produce death.”
“Your brain is eavesdropping on what's coming out of your mouth, and then it acts accordingly. You're literally giving orders to your brain.”
“Your life is meant to be a masterpiece. But maybe your self-talk script is average. It's not an alignment with a masterpiece. Don't let that happen to you who don't have an average storyline. Your life is meant to be a page-turner. Yes! So start speaking life.”
“... the two phrases, growth mindset, and fixed mindset. A growth mindset understands that it's elastic, it's plastic, it can stretch, it can grow, it can change it can learn. A fixed mindset has the belief that everything that I know up until this point is fixed.”
“Don't just have a great day. Make it a great day yet it's within your power to do so.”
