One of the major areas
that life coaching helps you to become even more
aware of is your self talk. Self–talk refers to
the dialogue that goes on inside your head when
faced with conflict or life challenges or even
simple day-to-day concerns. This aspect of
yourself has a running commentary about
everything you do. It never lets anything go by
with out some comment, remark or evaluation.
Self-talk can be positive or negative. More
often than not, it is negative, causing
unnecessary stress and making life a misery.
Becoming aware of this process is the first step
in taking charge of this self-sabotaging part of
yourself that can cause
unbelievable amounts of stress. The
automatic reactions you have to this constant
barrage of negative thoughts, judgments and
evaluations can keep you feeling stressed and
less able to meet life’s challenges. It can also
compromise your immune system, leading to a host
of minor symptoms and ultimately, if left
unchecked, to serious health problems of one
sort or another.
