How often do you criticize yourself in a day? You know what I mean--the voice of that inner mean girl who finds fault with how you look or what you do. Maybe the voice reminds you that you “shouldn’t” be eating something, or that you’re too fat to wear skinny jeans. That you’ll never lose weight. That you’ll never find love. You have no self control. The list is endless. We all have an inner voice that chatters pretty much nonstop, and sometimes it can actually be helpful. For some people, however, it can be excessively negative. It can literally make you miserable and even depressed. If you are constantly berating yourself, it’s time to change that. Listen to learn how negative self-talk is physically and mentally unhealthy, and what you can do to quiet that voice, be happier and even drop those extra pounds!
