Shortcast : Self-talk

14 minutes

We all experience self-talk in one situation or another. Sometimes, it is easy to ignore; at other times, it is not. How do you counter your inner critic?

In this show, we explore self-talk and inner dialogues or narratives, where they come from and what strategies you can use to minimise the impact.

I am in week three of the money experiment last week I explored my inner GPS or compass. It is about being the observer in life and watching, seeing what feels light or dark. I noticed that I was crap-talking myself, and I thought I was past all that.

It is amazing how unkind we can be to ourselves, and we are often not even aware that we are doing it. Negative self-talk is the subconscious mind trying to protect us, using powerful characters from our past. It is looking for options to stop your progress as it perceives a threat.

My inner voice is often my own, but it can be my mother or other significant people from the last 50-plus years. While observing myself this week, I noticed that there is quite a narrative going on at different times. Some of it is positive, and sometimes it is just unhelpful.

In this show, we explore some of the solutions that I use to counter this inner critic. From simple mindful thinking to having a dialogue with the voice.

The bigger point here is awareness. When we are aware, we can take action and make a change. Part of the process this week was looking for lightness and fun, as that is where all sorts of magic can happen.

But first, we need to silence the decent.
