Types of self-talk. There are three types of self-talk. Let's start with the first one.

Positive self-talk. This includes affirming and encouraging words or thoughts that help us lift our mood, build self-confidence, and reduce stress. Positive self-talk can help us change our thought patterns and focus on achieving our goals. The second type of self-talk is neutral self-talk. This refers to the rational and objective thoughts we use to process information and make decisions. Neutral self-talk can help increase the clarity and effectiveness of our thought processes. The third type is negative self-talk. This includes self-critical, discouraging or limiting thoughts that can affect our mood and performance. Negative self-talk can weaken the power of our thoughts and lead to self-doubt, anxiety or depression. To make the most of the power of thought through self-talk, it is important to be aware of the nature of self-talk and, when appropriate, use strategies to identify and reverse negative thought patterns. One such strategy is cognitive restructuring, in which we learn to recognize inappropriate or irrational thoughts and replace them with more realistic and helpful thoughts. This allows us to harness the power of our thoughts to promote emotional well-being, self-confidence, and personal success. In the next step, let's take a look at which biochemical processes play an important role in this and which brain areas are involved?
