Words are powerful. They can lift you up and motivate your forward or tear you down and create non-starter moments. Negative self-talk can have a powerful effect not only on mental wellness, but also on how you show up and perform in life. Unfortunately, negative self talk comes all too easily, but there are ways to catch yourself from this type of talk without missing a beat.
Learn how to make simple changes in your language in this episode of Mindful Life Changes Podcast (formerly known as the Mindful Career Change podcast), with host Valerie Mekki. She provides examples of the most common negative self-talk prompts, and how a simple change of words can make an impactful and positive difference to your mindset and how you can take action in your career changing journey. She also shares a positive self-talk affirmation to help remind you to speak kinder to yourself with love and encouragement so those negative self-talk prompts begin to slowly fade away from your everyday language.
