Reducing Negative Self-Talk

When negative events or mistakes happen, positive self-talk seeks to bring the positive out of the negative to help you do better, go further, or just keep moving forward.  The practice of positive self-talk is often the process that allows you to discover the obscured optimism, hope, and joy in any given situation. 

TIP: Try the following exercise.  Write down some of the negative messages inside your mind. Now, take a moment to intentionally counteract those negative messages with positive truths in your life.  Don’t give up if you don’t find them quickly.  For every negative message, there is a positive truth that will override the weight of despair.  These truths always exist; keep looking until you find them.
