Self-talk is what we say to ourselves. It reveals our emotions and attitude towards our self, others, and life's experiences.

Self-talk allows us to place meaning or value on the knowledge and information we receive. It helps us explain and justify our feelings and behavior. It lets us define our motivation for doing, or not doing, something.

Self-talk gives us time to consider what actions should be taken and if the consequences will be good or bad. Thus, we are free to choose.
(see Helaman 14:31)

affect the way you talk to yourself?

How do you talk to yourself when things go wrong?

Commitment: I will talk kindly to myself.

Commitment Kept:
