What if we were spending 25% of our waking life in self-talk?

Research suggests the average adult spends 4 hours a day in self-talk.
Thatโ€™s 25% of our waking hours each day!

Sounds familiar?

๐Ÿ“ข Yes, this is the little voice in our heads that yells for our attention all day.

The same voice with an opinion on our experiences, decisions, and events in our lives.

Over time, we feel overwhelmed by these repeated playbacks of the worst outcomes, our fears and past mistakes.

This can lead to self-sabotaging habits such as chasing perfection, self-judgement, procrastination and the fear of starting something new.

The first step is to recognize our thought patterns.

If you are โ€ฆ

โ†’ย  in constant negative thoughts about past mistakes
โ†’ย  having overwhelmingly negative self-talk
โ†’ย  frequently distracted by your thoughts
โ†’ย  stuck in a loop of overthinking
โ†’ย  avoiding new tasks

But our self-talk isnโ€™t necessarily always negative.

We can turn this inner voice into a source of motivation to remind us of our strengths and encourage us to push through obstacles or uncertainties.

โ‡ Hereโ€™s how I can help when you are ready:

Creating personalized reframing strategies that:

transform your self-talk from a voice that drains you
โ†’ย to a force that empowers you with confidence.

Our self-talk is the most important narrative in our lives.

When we control our narratives, we can control our lives.

And yes, you can.ย ๐Ÿ™Œ
