We’re talking self-talk today on SelfWork; What is it? And what can you do about it? A lot of people tell me they kinda “know” what it is, but haven’t a clue how to change it. It feels as if it’s too elusive. How could you possibly rein in what your mind is telling you about something?
Today, in this episode sponsored by Athletic Greens, I’ll offer six steps for this process. But I want to stress that it takes practice. And lots of it. So please be patient with yourself. The rewards can be incredible, but often you’re trying to undo years of self-criticism that whispers almost constantly.
Our listener email from today is from someone who’s not getting over a divorce and links it with not having access to his emotions. So how do you access your emotions when it doesn’t come easily for you?
