Now, I’m more than aware that there’s conflicting research surrounding the use of positive affirmations. It’s not surprising that some of us react differently to positive statements, especially if you have a deep rooted belief that conflicts with what you are saying. My thoughts? Give them a try and if something feels uncomfortable then use that as a starting point to seek out an alternative healing therapy that feels right for you.

Clearly, spending much of your time living in fear also does a number on your emotions. Thoughts produce emotions. Any thought based on fear is going to produce a set of resultant emotions that will develop a foundation for stress and anxiety. When your emotions are taxed, it weighs heavily on your spirit, but also produces stress hormones that negatively affect your physiology. It suppressesyour digestive and reproductive systems along with reducing your immune system into shambles. Yet which cases of inner speech may be cases of thinking, then? Those that play a decisive role in processes that we deem paradigmatic processes of thinking, and which are thus not merely acts of inner speech (e.g., cases of auditory imagery) but inner speech acts (Roessler 2016; Wilkinson 2020). Interestingly, we often seem to engage in inner speaking during deliberation, problem-solving or similar cognitively demanding tasks. And inner speech is not a mere by-product or a convenient expedient in these cases. Rather, it seems that the yielding of antecedent thought processes to linguistic formulation itself enables us to engage in certain forms of complex deliberative reasoning. Frankish ( 2018) considers the example of wondering whether or not to go to a party to which he has been invited. He silently asks himself a question (“Do I want to go to the party?”), hears his own utterance and then his language comprehension system comes up with an interpretation that is broadcast to parts of his cognitive system. Further (partly autonomous) processes predict that Henry will be at the party. He silently utters these words, which give rise to another question (“Do I want to meet Henry?”). Further (again, partly autonomous) reasoning reveals that Henry will probably want to talk about the budget cuts, which results in the decision (which may be a sort of self-commitment) that he’d rather avoid meeting Henry and will thus not go to the party (Frankish 2018, p. 234). Did you know that the human mind processes anywhere between 50,000 to upwards of 70,000thoughts in any given day? Obviously, not all of those thoughts are conscious. And, not all of those thoughts are unique. Many of the thoughts are repeated and replayed in our subconscious minds. They stem from our deepest and most darkest fears. These are the what-if scenarios that we can’t seem to escape no matter what we do. Machery, E. 2005. You don’t know how you think: Introspection and Language of Thought. British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 56: 469–485. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjps/axi130. Inner speech is a familiar phenomenon, even if people differ in how much inner speech they report (Hurlburt et al. 2013, p. 1483). Many of us experience episodes of inner speech whilst thinking about a theoretical problem, rehearsing the shopping list, preparing a talk or recalling the row we had with our partner last night. Moreover, the mental life of many a fictional character is revealed to us as we are made privy to the character’s inner monologues and dialogues.

Martinez-Manrique, F., and A. Vicente. 2010. What the. .! The role of inner speech in conscious thought. Journal of Consciousness Studies 17: 141–167. and it, presumably, fulfils other functions as well; many, if not all, of which can also be fulfilled by overt or private speech (—the latter being a form of audible self-talk; cf. Diaz and Berg 2016; Winsler et al. 2009). From this angle, inner speech looks very much like a silent version of outer speech (Martinez-Manrique and Vicente 2010). Thus, one might wonder whether all these functions are equally served by inner and overt speech. If that were so, one could venture to guess that if we engage in silent self-talk, we do so merely for reasons of social etiquette, as audible self-talk is commonly frowned upon (cf. Hatzigeorgiadis et al. 2011 for a discussion of overt and covert self-talk in sports performance). If, on the other hand, some cognitive functions were better served by inner speech than by overt speech, this additional benefit had to accrue from differences between inner and overt speech or from the manner in which inner speech transforms our cognitive infrastructure in ontogeny (or maybe did so in phylogeny). Engesser, S., A. R. Ridley, and S. Townsend. 2016. Meaningful call combinations and compositional processing in the southern pied babbler. Pnas 113 (21): 5976–5981.Tomasello, M. 2003. Constructing a language: a usage-based theory of language acquisition. Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press. It's in those quiet moments of reconnection that we believe lies the power to live a calm and more mindful life. One where your days are filled with more harmony than hustle and where making time for yourself becomes a natural part of your day. Together with our mindfully created collection of natural aromatherapy products, we want to help you to rediscover those moments of pause in your day. You may then use compulsions to try to cope with these worries. This could include ruminating about whether you have OCD, or seeking reassurance from others. Or you might research OCD on the internet, or stop your treatment to test whether your symptoms get worse. This can have a big impact on recovery. This in itself can seem discouraging – how can I possibly stay pure in my thought life, when many of those thoughts are involuntary? Paul gives us a clue when he writes “… in me (that is in my flesh) nothing good dwells … For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice … I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.”Romans 7:18-21. From this it is clear that there is a difference between the “me” that is my flesh, and the “me” that is my mind, or will to serve God. Then I can ask: who is the real “me?” Carruthers, P. 2002.

I use it as part of my morning and evening rituals but you should find what works well for you. Here are a few times when you’ll find it particularly effective… Inner speaking and thinking are more intimately intertwined. Inner speaking is, occasionally, a form of thinking; no independent, prior act of propositional thought is required. Footnote 8 And, conversely, some paradigmatic cases of thinking are cases of inner speaking.You might feel like you have to continue doing the compulsion until your distress or doubt goes away and things feel right again.
