Book Preview:

#1 Self-talk is your internal use of speech and language. It appears in the form of thoughts that you can hear with the auditory part of your brain. It can also include speaking to yourself out loud, which is normal. But it can be a sign of hallucinations if you’re experiencing them.

#2 Self-talk is a feedback loop. What you put into it determines what comes out, and your reaction to that determines what you put into it the next time around. If you break a negative feedback loop by giving it a positive input, it will spin into a positive feedback loop.

#3 Pay attention to your inner speech. It’s best to do this while you’re not engaged in something else. Simply listen to your internal dialogue and don’t try to change it. With time, you’ll notice your self-talk patterns automatically.
