Self-talk is what happens within us everyday. We live with our heart, brain and mind. We don’t live with just the present, but from our past. Since the day we are born we have memories instilled in us. The internal dialogue- have you not experienced it? 

Self-talk is your conversation within your heart and mind. This reveals your thoughts, beliefs, questions, and ideas. Self-talk can be both negative and positive. Positive when we begin to tell ourselves that ‘surely goodness and mercy will follow me all days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever’(Psalm 23:6, NIV), or else the negative of it. Your internal dialogue is influenced by your subconscious mind. It is something like- “I don’t love myself for who I am”, or the opposite of it. These dialogues will influence your memory even from ages past. Would you then agree on this issue that toxicity is the whole issue?

But, we have hope because we don’t have a broken or defective brain and neither is our mind a by-product of it. Our brain, in fact, can be rewired to make positive thoughts and feelings occur. And, Whatever we think about the most grows, because we are giving it energy. The Scripture says in 1 Corinthians 2:16 – ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.’ This compels us to make decisions because, if we don’t shape our lives, then our lives will shape us. We need to become aware and empowered to manage what we become aware of.

So, in the coming posts, you can see some ways how by making little daily changes, we can cumulatively make the biggest difference.
