What is Negative Self-Talk?
Negative self-talk can be called worry in its most basic form. A significant amount of worry is based on the question beginning with the words "what if...?" What if I locked my keys in my car? What if I forgot to turn off the oven? What if I forgot the lines to my speech? Negative self-talk can only aggravate the physical symptoms of anxiety which will then produce even more negative self-talk leading to a vicious cycle that could potentially produce panic. In her research, author Jennifer Allen discovered that the majority of our thoughts per day are negative---a full 70% (Allen, Get Out of Your Head, 2020). This negative self-talk can stem from underlying mistaken beliefs regarding oneself, others and a clouded world perspective. If an individual truly believes that life is always a struggle, then they will think that something is wrong if they start to feel better or more at peace. To overcome negative self-talk, make an appointment today to begin the process!

MENTAL HEALTH BASICS
Four areas that are of primary concern when you are struggling with either anxiety or depression are the following:
​
-
SLEEP
-
DIET & NUTRITION
-
EXERCISE
-
SOCIAL INTERACTION
​
​Proper self-care is important to your physical health but also stabilizes your emotional balance and strength. Focus on these four areas and you will be able to build resilience when mood disorders occur.​
If the strategies that you are currently using to combat your situation are not effective you may be missing out on fulfilling relationships, work, freedom, and a physically active life. Prepare the way for something new.
