What is Negative Self-Talk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Negative self-talk is the way we communicate with ourselves about our thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be positive or negative, but negative self-talk is often critical, judgmental, and harsh. It can focus on past mistakes, present flaws, or future fears, and can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Challenging these thoughts with positive affirmations and self-compassion can improve our mental health and overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
