Self talk refers to the dialogue that goes on inside your head when faced with conflict or life challenges or even simple day-to-day concerns.
Self talk is mental talking: the things that an individual says to himself or herself mentally. Self talk also takes the form of pictures and concepts.
Self talk is a running commentary about everything you do. It never lets anything go by with out some comment, remark or evaluation.
Self talk is a stream of thoughts you think within yourself on a daily basis.
Self talk refers to patterns of negative or positive inner thoughts. Awareness of self-talk often start in childhood, however, the emotions of self talk begin in the mother’s womb. Usually, the self-talk habit is one that has colored our thinking for years, and can affect us in many ways. Any time can be a good time to change it! Here are steps you can follow to stop yourself from using negative self-talk.
Pr. 23:7 reads, “As he thinks in his heart, so is he”. Your thoughts equal your reality. In Mt. 9:21 a woman with an issue of blood said within herself…”if I may but touch the hem of his garment, I shall be whole”. Out of everyone present that day, who also touched Jesus, this sick woman was healed after over a decade of being so sick that her doctor’s could do nothing else for her.
