What’s going on in your head these days? Are you worried, anxious, or obsessive? I do my best thinking in the shower. Sometimes, I get so absorbed in thought I forget whether I rinsed the conditioner from my hair after shampooing! Being aware of our internal “talk” can be very helpful. What we tell ourselves about ourselves is powerful. For many people this self talk is very negative. ” What an idiot!” “That was stupid!” “I can’t believe I am so fat/ugly/out of shape”. How we view situations, both real and imagined, can affect our behavior. Sometimes, we can work ourselves into a state of anger or jealousy about an imagined situation based on our own understanding. Some folks even have conversations in their heads with others, forgetting that the actual conversation never happened! It is possible to change that inner monologue, being kinder to self and realizing that the perspective I have is possibly highly inaccurate.
