Negative Self Talk

We all talk to ourselves.  The question is what are the words like that you are saying to yourself?  Are you being honest and reasonable in your self talk?  Or are you tending to beat yourself up or criticize yourself unfairly?  

Sadly, for too many of us, the negative self talk which permeates our days is so common that it goes unchecked which is not accurate or fair.  

Addressing negative self talk in your life requires a daily adjustment. The first step is to acknowledge and recognize that the words you're saying to yourself are negative.  Once you have realized it then you can work on how to address it.  I liked the information that is provided in this website on how to address negative self talk.  It points out great strategies like reality checking, considering alternate stories, shifting perspectives, and focusing on your goals are all important and valuable steps to shift your negative self talk.

Remember, if you find yourself struggling with negative self talk, I am here and would love to be able to talk to you about it so that together we can work on strategies that can work well for you.
