Ever catch yourself muttering to your keys? Or having a full-blown debate in your head while in the shower? Don't worry, you're not going crazy—you're just using the most powerful and misunderstood tool you own: your self-talk. In this episode, we're diving into the science of your inner monologue. We'll explore why talking to yourself is a completely normal—and vital—part of being human. You'll discover how the right kind of positive self-talk can boost your focus and performance, and how a simple trick called distanced self-talk can instantly dial down your anxiety. But there's a dark side. We're also confronting the relentless inner critic—that voice of negative self-talk that fuels anxiety and depression. We'll unpack how therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) give you the power to challenge and rewrite that toxic inner script. Stick with us to the very end for a simple, two-word phrase you can use to instantly interrupt your negative inner critic and take back control of the conversation in your head. It's time to become the narrator you deserve. Subscribe, share this with anyone who's a little too hard on themselves, and join the conversation about mastering your mind.
