It's easier to deal with strange looks when we know the advantages of talking to ourselves, isn't it? Thanks for the link, David, and for coming by, Chelle.

Some of us are more conscious than others about this natural process that occurs similar to breathing. By becoming conscious, we increase awareness about our soul and our surroundings. Great post as usual. Do not forget to visit my site when time permits. Thanks Shilpan Jean,

I'm surprised that I had been forgetting to do it. It's such a simple and powerful thing. :) Glad you have more sense than I was having. Gloria, Good for you for keeping your self-talk positive. A lot of people have trouble with that. And you bring up a great point--often we don't know what we really believe unless we write our thoughts down or say them out loud. Then another part of us listens and asks, "Do I really believe that?" I think the human mind is fascinating. Robert,

I find that when I talk out loud, and only my dog hears me, I can really say it how I feel it, and then I'll know whether it's my truth or I'm just trying to create a reality. Over many years, even before it became 'in' to have positive self-talk, I would action the premise: "If I can't say anything nice, best not to say anything at all." I applied that to myself as well as to others. Not only do I sing a lot when I am alone, I also dance a lot. Love the articles.
