If someone spoke to you in the same way you speak to yourself, how long would you tolerate it?
Self talk is a crucial part of mental health.
Just remember the ABC’s:
A – AWARENESS is key. Notice when you speak to yourself in a negative manner.
B – BREATHE. No need for comments like, “There I go again.” It only flames the negative fire.
C – CHANGE COURSE, change the channel. Choose to speak in a positive and supportive way.
Be mindful of the conversations you have with yourself. Who needs discouraging and negative people in their lives?
