I must state that I am guilty of negative self talk Personally,I think with most folks,that was programmed into them.That was also from supposedly well meaning family members and teachers.I think as you get older and you think about that,it has fermented due to them telling you those things that they wanted you to see as advice.Some adults have even stated that the best way to get a child to learn is by telling them that they are stupid and will never amount to anything.Anyone with a good state of mind knows that it only severs the self esteem if a child and it directs them to engage in negative and destructive behaviors.Learninf to diffuse that negative and destructive self talk really helps.
