People with a good self esteem and confidence have positive self talk. On the other hand, people with low self esteem put themselves down with negative self talk . I once heard: "When the mind talks, the body listen and acts accordingly". How do we handle this ?.

If your have a self-defeating thought you can say: "Thank you for sharing" and move on with another one. Or you can say: "Stop it" and move on with a more positive.

The only way to have a positive self talk is becoming aware that you are having this negative thought. Have you ever found yourself making a mistake and thinking: "I am a stupid. I will never get this right, there is no sense in keep trying".

If you have a healthy self-esteem the first thing you would do is to become aware that you are having the negative thought. You can change your negative self talk with awareness. Listen to what you are saying. Change your self talk and start to recognize your negative dialog, develop the habit of positive self talk.

Then, you will either stop it and move on or you could talk back to that part of you that is defeating you. "Thank you for sharing, I know that I made a mistake, however, this is a good way to learn. Now that I know what I have done wrong I can try it again. To make a mistake does not mean that I am a mistake".

Having a positive self talk helps building self esteem and improve your confidence. Your self esteem and confidence is influenced by the way you talk to yourself. Start to talk to yourself in a positive way.

It is crucial that get into the habit of not tolerating negative thinking. The dialogue that goes on inside your head all day has a commentary about everything you do and most of the time is negative.

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up. Deepak Chopra.

The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue. Carlos Castaneda.

We talk to ourselves incessantly about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk. And we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves and our world. The world is always as it should be. Carlos Castaneda.
