Self-talk is anything that we think. We all talk to ourselves. We can’t stop our thoughts; they are running all the time.

Stop negative self-talk typed on old retro typewriter.

Most of the time we are not aware of our thoughts.


Our thoughts affect our emotions. If we have negative self-talk after some time, we will start feeling bad about ourselves.


How many times its happened that you want to start or try something new and suddenly that negative voice in your head said, STOP! I can’t do that! I am not good enough! Or anything similar.


And all coming from our unconscious mind. Our unconscious mind saves every single second of our life. We don’t remember but our unconscious mind does.


Most of our self-talks are damaging:

  • I am not good enough

  • I can’t do anything right

  • Nothing goes my way

  • I am not worthy

These are all negative thoughts that limit us from being confident. Not be assertive. But we can change that by changing our thoughts.


You have to look at yourself. Understand how you see yourself. That means looking at who you are, and what you believe about yourself.


If we want to change some of our negative statements. We start to talk differently. We start using positive affirmations. Positive affirmation must be with a clear statement, always in the present tense, and followed up with emotions. If you can believe for all these years that you are not good enough; you can also start to believe that You are good enough by repeating a positive affirmation, being gentle with yourself and your thoughts, stop sabotaging yourself.


You can love yourself every day a little bit more.
