Primal Primer 10 (Mentality)
Thousands of years ago, the world was incredibly dangerous, and our ancestors found safety in banding together. However, during solitary moments of reprieve, sapiens engaged in inner dialogue. Fully leveraging the cognitive and survival benefits of evolved and complex linguistic capabilities, our brains act as powerful organs with the ability to shape existence. What we say to ourselves in inner dialogue profoundly influences our external actions, as an undeniably strong reciprocal relationship exists between this axis.
Problem Solving & Planning – Inner dialogue allows individuals to explore new dimensions for approaching problems. Early humans used this strategy to plan hunting ventures, tool-making, or navigation. Creativity and problem-solving stimulate innovative solutions, empowering individuals to skillfully navigate a world of challenge.
Memory Enhancement – Verbalizing thoughts and repeating information through inner dialogue reinforces memory; particularly helpful for remembering locations of resources or steps involved in tool creation.
Emotional Regulation – Managing emotions through inner dialogue aids in processing and coping with stressors such as fear, frustration, and sadness. Our ancestors were constantly troubled by forces of nature, competitive tribes, and internal hierarchical challenges, making emotional regulation a crucial survival skill. Speaking to oneself in an affirmative manner, powerfully alters disposition and generates confident action.
Behavioral Control – By verbalizing rules, instructions, intentions, and shared histories, individuals better control actions and impulses. Our internal thought life and words we say to ourselves day in and day out carve courses of direction.
Enhancing creativity – Inner dialogue can stimulate creative thinking, allowing individuals to explore different perspectives and ideas, leading to innovative solutions to challenges encountered in novel environments. Positive, affirming inner dialogue leads to self-actualizing outcomes.
Talk to yourself in affirmative manners. Positive and productive internal dialogue is fuel to the mind, and determines direction of path. Take control of direction by first taking control of your inner dialogue. By harnessing the power of inner dialogue, we shape reality and set sails toward achieving the heights of our potential – Supreme Being.
