Self Talk

23 Jul, 2024

Interestingly, today I came across the concept of self-talk.

We all do it, every single day, in small and big decisions. One big difference that lies between what we do and the effective self-talk is consciousness and truly questioning your perspectives, without any bias.

Every decision that we take in our lives, either trivial or crucial, is driven by a thought process clouded with bias. This not only limits us in our capabilities, but also in our view of pathways ahead of us.

Bias fuelled self-talk:

• Limits objectivity
• Blurs long term vision
• Infects one more with the same outlooks

Profound take by the author who wrote about this. Of course, I have paraphrased a bit here, as I am writing from my memory. Regardless, I will apply this and see how it works.
