Rising Above: A Guide to Overcoming Negative Self-Talk and Growing Bigger Than Your Thoughts

Negative self-talk is a common phenomenon in which we speak to ourselves in a critical or negative manner. It's a habit that many of us have developed over time and it can have a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being. Research has shown that negative self-talk can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as decreased self-esteem and motivation. Unfortunately, conventional approaches to combating negative self-talk often don't work. Simply telling ourselves to "stop thinking negative thoughts" is unlikely to be effective because our thoughts are not easily controlled. Instead, what is needed is a new approach that addresses the root causes of negative self-talk and provides a roadmap for change. In this book, we will explore a new approach to challenging negative self-talk. Our goal is not to erase negative thoughts, but rather to grow bigger than they are and improve our mental and emotional life along the way. The author will decipher the latest research in psychology and neuroscience to help disempower and conquer self-sabotaging thoughts with specific and actionable steps. By the end of this book, the reader will have a new understanding of negative self-talk and a set of habits to practice in order to overcome it
