Talking to Yourself in the Mirror: Weird or Not

Talking to yourself in the mirror, you find out what your current state is and how you think about the future. If we only understood the importance of our inner conversations, we could change our future very quickly. We could also stop ourselves from being too hard on ourselves and talk to ourselves in a better way.

When we talk to ourselves in the mirror, we often wonder if this is normal? Because we cannot know if others are doing it or not. Every person in this world has internal conversations and we are probably not aware of it because it is so natural to us, and all that is natural to us, we do not pay attention to it.



Of course, it is normal for us to talk to ourselves in the mirror or without the mirror because we do it while walking down the street, standing in line at the grocery store, driving the car, while cooking lunch, when we go to bed before falling asleep, probably commenting on the whole day or the most memorable part that happened to us.


Now that you know this is normal and that all people talk to themselves, you wonder what internal conversations bring us?

When we talk to ourselves, we affirm this reality and the lifestyle we live in. Because we are constantly affirming something that is already a fact, we are constantly experiencing it again and every day is the same as our previous one.


If we want to make a big change in our lives and the way we live, then we need to focus on a different way of thinking about ourselves and our future than we think about it now.

Observe what you are saying to yourself

Observe what you say to yourself when standing in front of a mirror. Whether you speak words that boost your self-esteem or humiliate you and say anything you do not like on yourself.


Do you know that this way of talking only harms you and does not bring you good either the current situation or a better future?

Imagine what you do every day when you see yourself in front of a mirror?

If you humiliate yourself and insult yourself even if you have high self-esteem, it will drop to very low levels over time because you humiliate yourself daily.


So you need to be aware of what you are saying from moment to moment. whether you want to raise your self-esteem and be appreciated by others or you want to be disrespected by other people because you have become accustomed to this kind of conversation through the constant belittling you do daily.


The things we do daily are natural to us and we no longer pay attention to them, because they are an integral part of us, and we do it automatically as we talk and walk without having to practice it every day.


So to change the way we think about ourselves, we have to start exercising daily to think differently about ourselves. Only by persistently repeating different thoughts about ourselves will we bring a different way of thinking about ourselves.


It may seem like a lie to ourselves, but if we repeat new words after a while, it will become our new way of thinking. Don't bother with how long this will take.


It may seem difficult at first and it will be so you know when we learn new things then we have to work harder until we master them, so it is with this exercise.


Just working on ourselves will create a new program that we carry within ourselves that determines what we think about ourselves and the people around us.


When we want to think in a new, more positive way, it will seem to us that we are lying, and maybe it will be until we really think that way and then we will no longer bother to change our minds because it will become our automatic response and a natural part of us.

We are made to talk to ourselves all the time

We are made that way. Just as a computer is made to do the task you set out to do in the same way, we are behaving with a learned program from childhood till now.

All we think today is a set of ways of thinking from childhood to the present day. We always do this way of thinking and talking with ourselves, and it helps us to understand better whether we are on the path to a positive and desired goal or to confirm that nothing is going as we want.

You see, we can be together at a party and it can be nice for me and bad for you or vice versa. Depending on whether we like parties, do we like crowds, do we like music, do we come up with the idea that we want to have a good time or not... We decide at the beginning whether to have a good time or a bad time.


It's not about the fun, it's about our thinking about how we are going to be entertained and what our current state and mood are. It all depends on us and sometimes when we allow unfamiliar events around us they can pleasantly surprise us.

It's not uncommon to talk to yourself

It’s not uncommon to talk to yourself in front of a mirror or anywhere else because everyone does. That's part of us. One is aware and others are not. Many think that these are just thoughts and do not realize that we are talking to ourselves about various topics that are bothering us or making us happy.


Anyone who is not aware of this will say that he or she is not doing it and simply does not need to contradict them because they are not aware. Who is aware will be able to work on themselves and their conversations by improving them in the direction they want the conversations to go. It all depends on what goal you have for yourself.


You may be dissatisfied with your current situation and now want to change something about yourself, such as a way of thinking about yourself and confidence. You may think it's time to give up the hard words you make when you do something wrong. Think at a time when something is not going right for what you are saying at that moment. Are you saying everything will be fine or are you saying how you could have done such a stupid thing?

Recognize your thoughts and conversations through the everyday things you do. Do you still want to talk to yourself like this or do you want a new opportunity to move on?

It all depends on our persistence and will for wanting a better life. How much we are willing to adapt to new thoughts and how persistent we are in our intention to change and to start thinking in a new way depends only on us.


It depends on how satisfied we are with our lifestyle so far. People make drastic changes only when they can no longer live their current lifestyle and realize that it is time for real change.

All successful people recognize that success is thanks to a new mindset

The way we think about ourselves is very important because it is reflected through the conversation we have with ourselves. At any moment we think about something. Successful people think of themselves through a multitude of positive thoughts that drive them to go forward and when they do not yet see the changes around them. Everyone who starts a business must be guided by the belief that the job will succeed. They need to know that at least success is possible. Something gives them hope that they can work even when the results are not showing.


That talk they have about their business and themselves reflects on all the further ventures they make and the decisions they make regarding the business.


Every successful person, consciously or unconsciously, believes in himself and knows that he is capable enough and can make his idea successful. For success, we need faith that things may go in our favor.

Conclusion on talking to yourself in the mirror:

Any conversation we have in front of a mirror or while sitting in an office or another job becomes our confirmation that things are going or not going in our favor. After thousands of hours of talking to ourselves, we become convinced enough to take certain actions or not to take them. It all depends on whether we tell ourselves we are capable of success or we tell ourselves to leave it because we will never be able to do it properly.


Nothing will change overnight. Just working hard on yourself through many conversations with yourself will help you in any future decisions our future holds.
