Today's topic - The other side of Self-Talk

Everyone talks to themselves

We can have entire conversations in seconds

We talk about

• Our bodies - Appearance - Unusual Feature - Colourations
• Our thought patterns - why did I think that?
• Personal qualities - Compassion
• Events - Life - Families / Friends - Relationships
• Other people's opinions and values

Negative part - we focus on the negative - it is how we evolve

Let's turn the negative around

• Remind your mind about the things you well
• Remind that I volunteer a lot
• What do other people see in you - qualities

“The future is a fantasy, the past is just a rumor. This moment is a gift, which is why it’s called the present.”
