A great post. I particularly liked this section: We all have different forms of self-talk that we use as we go about our lives. People who are confident tend to use positive self-talk, empowering themselves to do their best and reassuring themselves when they face challenges. People who are anxious are more likely to use negative self-talk in which they confirm their lacks, anticipate their failures and berate their “pitiful” efforts. The way you engage in self-talk for anything tends to creep up in everything. That’s why it’s so important to maintain the habit of positive self-talk or work toward it as a habit. The good news is that even if you have a habit of engaging in negative self-talk, if you find one thing that you can build a more positive inner dialogue with, whether it’s a martial art or any other activity, it can empower your self-talk in all areas. Because it feels so much better, it just naturally starts to help you build confidence, replacing the negative self-talk in other spheres of your life. Conversely, negative self-talk can be toxic, so it’s important rewrite it when it creeps up so it doesn’t become a habit.
