Yes, I'm Talking To Myself

And Why You Might Want to Experiment With It Too

Hey there!

If you see me talking to myself in my car or while running you can just go right on your way. I’m okay, promise.

I’m just talking to myself.

I haven’t lost it. Yet.

It’s just one of the ways I process information and uncover what’s behind some of the things I’m feeling.

We’ve talked before about how feelings are good information.

❝

Talking to yourself about your feelings (or someone else or journaling), helps you break down the emotions you’re experiencing to access the information they’re trying to communicate.

It helps you get to the useful data to inform your future thoughts and actions.

When I’m talking to myself, I’m usually asking questions like:

What is the real feeling? Is it actually ‘mad’ or is it something else like frustration, embarrassment, or shame?
Why is that coming up for me?
What’s behind it?

The beautiful part is, when I answer these questions, I can move through the emotion - instead of ignoring it, letting it get stuck and start festering. I can release those feelings. And move the heck on.

So go on and try it. I promise not to judge.

Always Talking,
Lauren

Supporting you to train your mind like you train your body.™️

BTW: It’s usually the emotions that feel the biggest that I let fester longest. And I always end up wishing I’d had a little talk with myself earlier. Do better than I do! Don’t be afraid to reach out if you need some help talking through them.
