#5 Talking to Yourself
Self-talk
Do you often engage in self-talk?
I do. I happened to find a YouTube post about self-talk, and that made me think about effects of talking to myself.
While staying in Canada, I am sometimes alone. As you know, there are plenty of the time to engage in self-talk, like "what am I do today" or "I'm hangry, let me think what kind of dishes can I make?".
I'm sure that most people engage in self-talk every single day, but I guess there are few people to notice the importance of talking to yourself. These days, after watching the movie on YouTube, I realize why self-talk is so important for us.
Self-talk generate worth reflection
Talking to myself allows me to think the past choices or behaviour. Sometimes, it made me feel depressed and even haunted me for a long time. But, these past reflections help me make future decisions. That's why I'm sure that engaging in self-talk is worthy.
While there are some beneficial aspects of self-talk, thinking deeply sometimes harms you. Repeated negative reflection causes you lose your life.
It is really challenging to manage our self-talk, but if you learn how to manage it properly, it will bring you better life.
