Negative self-talk 
is any inner dialogue you have with yourself that may be limiting your ability to believe in yourself and your own abilities, and to reach your potential. It is any thought that diminishes your ability to make positive changes in your life or your confidence in yourself .

When you recognize your negative self talk, don't let it go unchallenged:

  • Challenge your inner voice.
  • Test your negative self talk against reality. 
  • Consider alternative options
  • Put things in perspective.

A common cold, exhaustion, stress, hunger, sleep deprivation, even allergies can make you depressed, which leads to negative thoughts. In many cases, depression can be caused by negative thinking, itself. To combat negative thinking, it is important to understand it.
