It's a one on one chat with Ginny this week. And it's a good one! This week is all about diving into how we think about and talk to ourselves.

Do you engage in negative self-talk? Well, data shows that we have up to 60,000 thoughts per day and up 80% -- EIGHT PERCENT -- of those thoughts are negative.

Imagine the changes you can create when you start doing this one thing?! When you start speaking to and treating yourself with more kindness. Imagine the transformation you can cultivate for yourself. This is one thing that we have so much control over, but we have to be completely honest with ourselves in order to be able to make this shift and see the impact it can have on our lives.

It's time to start building yourself up and stop beating yourself up. Our thoughts create our feelings, our feelings shape our mood and our mood creates our reality. Woah!

Ginny is offering newsletter subscribers and podcast listeners first access to a new downloadable that can help you make this shift.

It's called The KindKey Mindshift Workbook and you can download it here. https://www.ginnypriem.com/products/p/o6tpaa4kkrbceecmb7usmq2oht549y

It's a 14-page workbook that provides context and data to support this concept as well as a quick quiz to provide you with a baseline. You'll also learn how to make this shift in an easy to follow step-by-step guide. There are monthly, weekly and other meaningful worksheets that you can print out as many times as you'd like so you can track your progress and see what you're proud of in changing your old thoughts into new thoughts.

She shares the 4 main types of negative self-talk according to Mayo Clinic -- catastrophizing, personalizing, filtering and polarizing -- with examples and how you can shift these to more positive thoughts in an easy to follow 3-step process.

We can't change the past or our previous thoughts, but we can cultivate the future ones starting right now. It's not just about downloading the workbook. You have to commit to doing the work and unlocking your secret power that you already have within you: The KindKey.

Positive self-talk and thoughts can help you improve longevity, decrease stress, improve overall well-being and much more, according to Mayo Clinic.

Think about your life and reality today. And then think about if tomorrow, next week, next month, next year -- do you want your life to be the same, worse or better. If you said better, the KindKey Mindshift Workbook will help you track your progress and how your thoughts, feelings and mood contribute to your overall wellbeing. Download it today and get started.
