037 | 5 Tips on How To Talk To Yourself

WORTHY with Sandra Chuma

One of the things that we do subconsciously without even realizing it, is our habits of thinking. Most people have never really thought about the fact that your thoughts are habits. When I talk about habits, most of the time people think about going to the gym or eating healthy. Rarely do we ever think about the fact that our thinking is a habit. It all comes from how we think, and also from something even smaller than that – it is the things that we say to ourselves. I read that we think roughly about 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day, and of those thoughts, the majority are habitual thoughts. What's even sadder is that the majority of things we think are negative thoughts, and the majority of things that we think in our minds is our self talk the way we speak to ourselves. In this episode, I talk about the 5 levels of Self-talk according to Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s book ‘Nonviolent Communication’, and share 5 Tips when it comes to talking to yourself, why it is immensely valuable, and how to do it.
