“I’m not good enough”, “I’m not smart”, “life is hard”, “I’m not loved”, “What if I fail?”, we all have those kind of voices in our head running constantly throughout our life.
The problem with them, is it’s impossible to stop them, no matter how you try, the more you do, the more they become stronger.

You may be saying that it’s impossible to dispel those nagging voices, but that’s the problem of what most people do.
Instead of doing that, I’m going to share 3 powerful strategies that I do every single day to cope with negative self-talk, to always have a sense of control of my life.

One of the ways to cope with negative self-talk, is to nurture a positive view of the world around you.

3.Change your social environment
Look, you can’t live a positive life, and hanging out, or being around with negative people. It doesn’t go together.
Most people are blaming how life sucks, how the government sucks, throwing all excuses around, contaminating other people, and if you still close to them, you will be contaminated too.
And what does, they start conforming that all the negative thoughts are real, so they start becoming bigger, crippling you from living the kind of life you want to live.
