4A2 Lesson - Investigating and Controlling our Self-Talk


We must exercise caution in order to control ill-natured thoughts that we have about indulgences, complaints, frustrations, sadness, and other potent emotions. Without guidance to understand unhealthy and unproductive thoughts, we become susceptible to thoughts that can adversely affect us. When we pay closer attention to what we are thinking and telling ourselves (and know what distortions to look for), we can develop a better understanding about the need to qualify our thinking and make healthy adjustments.


Please note: This lesson was placed on line earlier than anticipated. The Motivational Stress-Calming Self-Talk Handbook that we expected to place on line with it is in production, but not yet ready to be released. Sorry for the delay!
