The power of suggestion is often overlooked and undervalued, and it can have a significant positive impact on one’s health, ability to learn, and performance in accomplishing tasks. One way of utilizing this tool is through self-talk. This presentation emphasizes the importance of constructive self-talk and its role in personal development. Research that has found promising uses of self-talk and suggestion, ranging from the facilitation of the medicinal effects to the reduction of implicit bias, will be discussed. An explanation as to why many people’s attempts to engage in self-talk are often unsuccessful and sometimes detrimental will be presented. Finally, strategies for engaging in effective self-talk to improve one’s quality of life will be provided.
