Have you ever noticed your internal dialogue? Do you aware that this internal dialogue shapes your self-image? Essentially, you become your beliefs.

Think brave and strong, and you will be. However, if you convince yourself you're weak and insignificant, you'll create that reality. Amazing, right?

Tips to stop negative internal chatter
There are many exercises that might help you focus on your “mind chatter” behaviours and reduce negative internal talk.

Exercise 1: take notes
This activity is best done when you're calm and available. Maybe you can't calm down, so do it anyway. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes throughout the day.

Note your internal dialogue every hour. Stop what you're doing, use your memory, and write down everything you said in the last two hours. Writing with greater detail is preferable.

If you like taking notes spontaneously as you talk to yourself, write down everything you say about your appearance, abilities, intelligence, dreams, memories, sorrows, health, etc.

Exercise 2: self-image
Perform this workout in bed at night. As an example: Imagine that the next day you have to attend a professional meeting with key clients, your employer, or your superiors, who will be watching you and listening to everything you say.

Imagine yourself in this position. To succeed in this activity, you must relax and honestly analyse what messages are being sent back to you.

If you visualise the meeting and focus on yourself, you will definitely notice some ideas or notions.

Note as much as you can of this internal debate.

Exercise 3: reread notes
The next day, reread what you wrote in the two prior activities to find commonalities or a thread. What are any repeating elements? Please list them separately and in writing.

Fourth exercise: identify and qualify your internal dialogue tone.

What is the tone of your inner dialogue after examining your notes? Consider yourself optimistic? Do you know your strengths? You flattering yourself? Do you think negatively and tend to devalue yourself?

Try to determine if you exaggerate or are realistic.

Five: What Kind of Self-Friend Are You?
Reread your first two exercises' writings. Based on your daily self-talk, what type of buddy are you?

Never forget that you chat to yourself daily.

Imagine someone whispering these phrases in your ear. How would you feel? What's your daily vibe? Do you promote harmony, joy, and well-being or the opposite? Does internal discourse affect your inner self?

These activities aim to make you conscious of your internal dialogue at all times.

If you want to work on yourself and examine messages that can impair your emotional, mental, or physical health, establish your inner dialogue.

Continue calmly towards an interior transformation.
