Mind your Language – Turn your Self-Talk into your Superpower

Why what you say to yourself matters, and how to turn your self-talk into your super power
Of the estimated 60,000 thoughts we have each day, 95% are the same as the previous day and 80% are regarded as negative.
We all have that little voice inside our heads that can judge, compare and complain, yet the same voice can also encourage, be compassionate and offer perspective.
Limiting beliefs, motivation, confidence, resilience, mindset, and of course mental health are all experienced inside our heads. Getting curious about our self-talk offers us a key to unlocking our super powers.
This session explores ways in which we can create greater awareness of the words that we use in the privacy of our thoughts, how to identify limiting language and then challenge and change it.
