Negative self-talk is biological. It’s part of the human experience. That critical voice inside your head is actually healthy. It generates the initial anxiety within us to activate our stress response to help us take quick action and adapt in critical situations.

The good news is that there are things we can do about it. Start by trying methods you’ll find here and see what works for you.
