Part Four: Positive self talk

7 ways of overcoming negative self image Part 4

Self Talk. This is your inner voice.

Self-talk is what you are telling yourself in moments of silence, moments when you are alone. The thoughts you have crossing your mind and sometimes you simply ignore or acknowledge them intentionally or unintentionally.

Self-talk is the internal narrative you hold about yourself. It’s your inner voice and you may or may not have spent much time thinking about it or giving it any attention.

The truth is, our self-talk has the largest influence on the way we see ourselves, and the world around us more than we realise.

Self-talk occurs from conscious and unconscious beliefs and biases that we hold about ourselves and the world generally.

Self-talk can be positive or negative – and which ever thoughts you pay most attention to will be the result of your reality.
