Transforming Inner Dialogue: The Journey from Negative to Positive Self-Talk

The dialogue within our minds is very important in the huge expanse of our inner world. However, those who hold conversations internally most times complain that these are full of pessimism, self-questions, and blame. Our self-image, belief, and general health can be destroyed by the endless stream of weepy tales we keep telling ourselves.

Fear, insecurity, or past experiences often lead to negative self-talk. It is often a constant flow of judgmental thoughts about oneself, which make one believe that he/she is not worthy. The latter breeds a sense of insufficiency because such things like berating ourselves for previous errors, questioning our competence and even comparing ourselves with others unfavourably have become part of the force that retards our development and happiness.
