Today, Diane talks about negative self- talk and gives strategies and tips to help you overcome your inner critic. You need to select your thoughts the way you select your clothes. Disputing your negative self-talk means challenging the negative or unhelpful aspects. And doing this enables you to feel better and to respond to situations in a more helpful way. Learning to dispute negative thoughts takes time and practice, but it’s worth the effort.
