Generally it is negative self talk, unfortunately. I call myself an idiot often during the day if I don’t like something I feel I have done that isn’t correct.
@Lauren63 I have negative self talk sometimes and I ask myself "How will this talk help or hinder me?"
@soulsings
My self-talk completely changed during the last years; it's much more comforting. Right now it's telling me, "Enough for today—movie time." It's not pushing but rather guiding me to something healthy.
@soulsings
I have learnt to be kind and gentle with myself 💛
And patient 💙
And to truly see, healing can I cut , even after years of being told awful things, it takes consistency to rewire the messages you tell yourself 🥰
@Amanda84 it is a gradual process so patience is definitely a help.
@soulsings
I'm usually very pessimistic. But my friend gave me a positive pep talk yesterday on my birthday and it makes me feel hopeful. I'm trying to remain positive and work on improving my self critic self.
@trueconfidant123 good and hope you learned how to give yourself a pep talk
@soulsings
- What kind of self talk is in your mind right now? My self-talk goes thru phases. At the moment it is a bit negative and I want to scream. I have issues with people not paying attention or listening completely. I ask myself how I am communicating that a person is willing to screw things up so badly before asking me a question. My partner doing things that I cannot imagine how they do not see how much it will tick me off ..........then act as if " they did not know" ...... if I had a dollar for each of those excuses, I would be richer than Bill Gates. So, now my self-talk is questioning if I am not clear enough with others or i am not able to practice understanding of their inability to follow simple instructions.
- How do you generally talk to yourself? I try to empathize with others not listening for understanding. To tell myself to not let small things build to where I want to explode. Having to explain over and over makes me question my effectiveness in communication or my ability to accept that others do not value my time by acting clueless.
@toughTiger6481 it is not easy but try to not give into anger or its other appearances. It can only destroy positive energy.
@soulsings
- What kind of self talk is in your mind right now? - the self talk is positive and more about self-confidence
- How do you generally talk to yourself? - very low self-compassion somtimes
@soulsings
I tend to speak to people who are not there at all, a habit I took from having to prepare speeches.
@Fradiga your audience! I have an active imagination too.
@soulsings
self talk is so important, we are often so busy trying to help others that we dont pay attention to what we are telling ourselves
@caringWhisper82 that is a very good point.
I am tired and it is okay to rest.
My general self-talk is self-criticism.
