It is important for us to be mindful of the words we speak to ourselves. Self-talk is often extremely negative and negatively impacts us.

Here are some ways that negative self-talk can impact us, from causing despair to having an impact on our feelings and thoughts.

1. Negative self-talk tends to be repetitive and can cause overthinking since intrusive negative ideas impact us and exacerbate our feelings.

2.  Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be influenced by our inner voice and the dialogue we have with ourselves. 

3. When we speak negatively to ourselves on a regular basis, we begin to accept those thoughts as true. 

4.When we tell ourselves that we are unworthy or that nothing positive can ever happen to us, we begin to attract the same things into our life.

5.  Persistently talking to ourselves negatively can cause us to doubt our skills and abilities.
