Negative self-talk increases stress, limits potential and
causes negative effects to the brain. It actually creates a vibration that
destroys brain cells. Crazy! I’ve been trying to be conscious of my negative
self-talk recently. It’s quite alarming how often I’m guilty of it.
Any negative thoughts stimulate the release of destructive
neurochemicals. Even saying something flippant like, “I’m an idiot” when I get
home from the grocery store & realize I forgot something I needed is
something to note. The more we engage in negativity, the more difficult it
becomes to stop.
So, if you are prone to beating yourself up (like I am), you
have some work to do. Join me and give yourself a break and focus on the
positives. Once we do, we can enjoy the benefits of: less stress, better
health, increased confidence, more happiness, and better coping skills—among
other things. Sounds worth the effort, doesn’t it? :)
