We start talking to ourselves out loud at around 2 to 3 years of age. After another two to three years, the self-talk becomes internal. And that internal chatter goes on for the rest of our lives.

We need to learn to relate to this inner talk in a way that helps us - not in a way that hinders us. We'll talk about ways to do this in this Zoom event on 10th November.

Your inner voice shapes your world

As we have all come to know, this stream of thoughts, judgments, and reactions can shape our mood and our sense of self-worth. So we need to be aware of these endless internal conversations and to direct them to our benefit.

Easier said than done but …

Easier said than done? Absolutely. But still, we can make our self talk work for us to a greater extent than if we just let it rattle along. That is a pillar of CBT, of mindfulness, and of other approaches to mental health

Not the only one

There are many other methods. The key, to my mind, is to accept that "the thoughts I am having now are not the only thoughts I could have.” We can change them, put a better thought in their place, question them, and so on. Once you realise that, you are set fair to shape your thinking to be a tool not a tyrant.

This will all be the topic of my monthly zoom event on Tuesday 10th of November from 7 to 8 pm. You’ll find more information on Eventbrite at the link below.
