The way you talk to yourself matters. Be a friend, not a bully.
Negative self-talk can be damaging to our sense of self and our overall happiness. And contrary to popular belief, it wonβt motivate you to do or be βbetterβ.
Here are three self-talk tips:
π
Get familiar with the tone of your internal commentary and how it makes you feel.
π
Try speaking to yourself in the third person, or using your name to get some emotional distance from your thoughts.
π
Be kind. If you wouldnβt say it to a friend, donβt say it to yourself.
