Ever found yourself stuck in a loop of negative self-talk, feeling its crushing impact on your self-confidence and personal growth? That’s what we, your hosts Debbie and Greg, are picking apart in this episode. We explore how these self-deprecating narratives, often ingrained so deeply that we fail to recognize them, can trigger anxiety, depression and stress. We share personal experiences and examples to help you understand this self-defeating dialogue and introduce ways to steer it towards positivity.
Remember that time when you weren’t kind to yourself? We dive deeper into this, highlighting how our environments and even social media can fuel this destructive cycle. It's not all doom and gloom though, because we also discuss the power of positive self-talk—its potential for building self-esteem and helping you reach your goals. Debbie shares a personal anecdote from her first job, emphasizing how our choice of words can shape our self-perception and experiences.
Finally, we highlight the importance of combating negative self-talk with practices of gratitude, positive affirmations, and self-encouragement. Making mistakes is human, and there's immense growth in taking risks. We discuss how setting small, achievable goals and acknowledging your strengths and positive qualities can help you break free from the hold of harmful self-talk. So, join us on this journey of transformation and let's work together to cultivate healthier inner dialogues. After all, you are not alone!
