Self Talk

     Do you talk to yourself?  Some of you reading this are thinking, "No I don't think I do".  The fact is we all talk to ourselves and we have the ability to affect, in a positive or negative way, our attitudes, self-esteem, and how we approach our day to day activities.  Words are a powerful tool.  They trigger pictures which bring about emotions (feelings).  How do you use words?  Do they build or destroy?  The way you talk to yourself, the words you use, trigger pictures which result in an attitude about yourself (your self image).  This is why self-talk can be so important.

     Today, practice self-talk that is positive.  Don't let negative thoughts about yourself or outside events be the focus of your self-talk.  Give yourself a positive pep-talk and see if your attitude  doesn't improve.  What have you got to lose?
