The Power of Positive Self-Talk

What you think or say to yourself about everyday situations in your life will strongly influence how you feel and what you do. Negative self-talk can cause unpleasant emotions and self-defeating behaviors. Replacing automatic negative thoughts with positive self-talk can help you feel and act better.
