Hey guys, what is up? It's Michaela J from Michaela J.com. I have a blog podcast, Travel Planning Business,

and I'm now a retreat host. How are you? Happy Tuesday. I'm really excited for this week's theme,

and it's all about positive self-talk. And we'll dive into that in a minute, but I just want to ask you

really quick to subscribe to this podcast on iTunes, write, and review for me. It really helps

get the word out. It helps bring cool people to the podcast. And yeah, if you could do that,

I would love you forever. right let's do this today is

our Tuesday talks where I just talk about a topic teach you let you know why it's important and then

Friday we'll get to a story time Saturday we'll do strategies and then we'll start it all again

next week so this week's theme is

positive self-talk. We're going to talk about what is positive self-talk, why it's important

in our day-to-day lives, and how we sometimes fall short and how that's really affecting

the outcomes of the things that we're doing. So positive self-talk, what is it? Obviously, it's talking to yourself positively,

but on a more internal level, positive self-talk is what you're saying in your mind when you look

at yourself in the mirror. When you put something on, it's like the thoughts

you think then. It's after you accomplish something or you don't accomplish something. It's the

things that you're thinking. It's all of the thoughts that go on in your mind, which is kind of scary

to think about that we're always thinking things and that we have control over these thoughts.

And I've mentioned this on my blog before that sometimes knowing we can create our reality

is scary because we become responsible for everything that we're doing and saying.

And so positive self-talk is the same.

It kind of becomes a scary thing where you're like,

oh, shit, I'm actually responsible for this and that just because of the way I'm talking to myself.
