10. Negative Self-Talk

The ability to investigate what is going on in our heads, to get introspective, is an incredible power we possess as humans. All too often, we criticize and limit ourselves with our inner dialogue. Negative talk inside inevitably surfaces externally, affecting relationships with ourselves and the people around us, not to mention our mental and physical health. According to University of Michigan researchers, one way to turn your suppressive inner critic into a supportive coach is to speak to yourself as a friend. Replace “I” with your name, and be your own cheerleader. Their studies demonstrate that dealing with yourself from an “outside” perspective makes it easier to be kind to yourself.
