#6. Self-Talk? What that?
‘Mind Chatter’ is often just below the surface of our conscious thought. Sometimes, this chatter can be self-destructive, or it can be building good health. Sometimes, it’s a mater of catching the false and negative and rebuilding in the positive thoughts. The Bible called it ‘Renewing the Mind’.
Some of this internal dialogue is true … but most negative self-talk is false and distorted, often ruining the good mental health we all need. Remember what we think about life will influence our Emotions – which in turn will influence our behavior. If I think I am not worth other people’s time, how will I behave? If I think I am unattractive, how will I behave?
Although we all began this self-talk as children, it greatly shapes our world today. If I believe those – false – comments made by my neighbor about my size and face shape when I was 10 years old, those words can still echo into what I think of myself now. Parents, siblings and the views of peers are very important to children – but many of their comments were not true.
How do we overcome this self-rejecting and often self crippling inner voice? Can we be free to see ourselves the way our Creator made us to be? The answers are in this FREE ‘Self-Talk? What is that?” eBook. Learn to catch the thinking – emotions – behavior cycles.
