So much of the time we act out what we are thinking. One day I was having an incredibly rough day and I found myself turning my day around by my inner chatter. I was practicing my positive self talk. So, as all good twitter participants do, I tweeted my thoughts. One day became two, two became four and then, I think, I stopped. I had worked my way out of my own funk.
Then, @MatthewTForrest tweeted me and suggested I make it a daily ritual. I cannot exactly quote him, but he said something like “I need to get better at this.” That was enough for me to make the commitment that I would do my best to share my positive self talk dialogue on a daily basis.
This list is ever growing. Share your positive self talk messages below.
