How To Master Your Self-Talk

In this episode of the Changing Minds podcast, I discuss the critical role of our inner voice in shaping our reality and self-perception. Exploring the concept of the inner voice, not just as an inner critic but as a multitude of voices that affect our feelings and behaviors. Emphasizing the importance of becoming a 'producer' of our self-talk rather than just a 'consumer.' I’ll introduce you to techniques and strategies to change how you communicate with yourself, aiming to transform negative self-talk into empowering inner dialogue. I’ll also cover the psychological underpinnings of our inner voice, the impact of labeling and narrating our experiences, and practical techniques for mastering self-talk, including meta mantras, questioning methods, tone change, and electing a 'boss voice' to take charge of internal dialogues.
