3 Steps to Stop Negative Self-Talk

"To forever extinguish negativity

is not the goal;

negative self talk is, like all pain,

useful information.

It awakens in us the desire to change.

Thus, the goal is not perfect positivity,

it is understanding, humility and incremental growth."

-Tj Meagher

RECOGNIZING SELF-TALK

“I could never do that. Don’t even try. You’ll make a fool of yourself.”

“Why can’t you just get it right the first time? What’s wrong with me? I’m so stupid.”

“Don’t bother. They don’t even like you. Just let them be.”

“I don’t deserve happiness. Just look at what I’ve done.”
