Lewis Howes argues that cutting negative self-talk matters more than building positive thoughts. Research shows reducing the internal critic, the voice that doubts and demotivates you, delivers more real change than chasing positivity alone.
I will ask crowds this: which do you think is more important, more positive thinking or less negative thinking? Which is more important? Where do you get the most mileage, more positive thinking or less negative thinking? And the studies are unequivocal. It's less negative thinking. Really? Positive thinking is important. You keep it up, keep it high. But if you want to get your real mileage, just cut down on the negative thinking. Cut it down, cut it down, cut it down. That's the villain voice. That's the critic in your head. That's the demotivator, that's the discounter, that's the one that raises the doubts, and you can shut it up.
