Change your thoughts & change your self talk

what you say becomes reality. One of the most powerful ways of changing your life is to change the way you think about it. Today, I'll discuss three common self-talk patterns that are counterproductive and how to replace them with more constructive thoughts. .The first self-talk pattern I want to discuss is worry. Worry is a thought process that tries to foresee, plan for, and solve future problems or difficulties.

It keeps us from living in the present moment and taking care of our present needs so we'll be prepared for disasters that may or may not happen in the future. The second self-talk pattern I want to discuss is comparing. Comparing is when we try to escape into a fantasy world where things are perfect and everything falls into place just as we need it to. Comparing also makes us feel better because we're not being responsible for our current situation and it's easy to gloss over the bad stuff.
