The most important, influential, life-changing, mood affecting conversations you will ever have, are the ones you have with your self at each moment of every day. Ultimately, your self-talk creates the lens through which you see yourself and the world, and this lens changes everything. After all, it’s not what happens in your life that is important, instead, it's how you interpret what happens and how you respond that makes the difference. If you want to change your life, start by changing your internal dialogue.
