My first thought was to lock my doors. I thought, “Is this guy going to rob me?”
Reducing Negative Self-Talk
If the voices in your head are saying anything but positive messages to you, then this is the show for you.
Negative inner dialogue can prevent you from almost everything you want to do in life. So many opportunities will be missed, all because you listened to a voice that is likely misleading you to believing you are something less than you are.
