How Nice is Your Self-Talk?

How do you actually talk to yourself? Are you someone who has an overall negative talk or are you somewhat more positive? What does the voice inside your head really say about you? Let’s take a deeper dive into this and really notice not just exactly what we’re saying to ourselves but how we’re saying it.   When we’re in a good mood, positive self-talk can actually compound and make you feel better than you already do. However, if we’re in a bad mood, our negative talks might dominate our mind and then in turn our inner voice might spiral into a negative spin. It’s all connected.   Positive thoughts and beliefs often start with positive self-talk and a healthy dialogue with yourself. If we are more positive, we are able to be more resilient and cope with fear and the unknown much better.   One of the bad things about self talk is that we can often feel like the negative situation that we’re in is much worse than it actually is. We call this catastrophizing. We automatically anticipate the worst case scenario for the future and this intensifies anxiety and depression.   To get out of this, it’s important to catch it in the moment. Just thinking positive things might not completely get you out of the negative rut you’re in, but you can start small by appreciating one or two things about yourself. Try to create a pattern break so that you don’t continuously get stuck in a negative headspace.   Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
