POSITIVE SELF TALK

Today's topic is an oldie but a goodie - self talk. We all do it. Do you ever think about those messages you send yourself, such as: I could never do that; That's too hard; That's beyond me; No one wants to see me doing that!

A lot of our self talk has to do with OLD MESSAGES. These old messages are tapes that run through our minds - old ways of thinking and old ways of doing things. A lot of self talk also has to do with things we hear other people say. It's a hard task sometimes, but we need to learn to filter them out.

So, how do we filter out those old and unnecessary messages? By writing new ones! Try to think of five old messages that are just weighing you down and rewrite them with new ones. Good luck!
