For the month of April several of us are taking on the “30-Day Conversation Coach4aday Challenge“. Today’s post is on the importance of having a conversation with your SELF.

This post marks one of the final discussions on conversations, with a focus on self-dialogue. Exploring this topic, an article on WebMD highlights a survey indicating that a staggering 96% of individuals engage in self-talk. Interestingly, within this majority, 25% choose to vocalize their thoughts aloud.

April Conversation Challenge

The overarching aim for the 30-Day Conversation Coach4aday Challenge is to engage or to repeat conversations and disseminate them. Whether these conversations hold valuable lessons, shareable insights, or are simply a mishmash of thoughts, the goal remains to foster connection and potential learning experiences for all involved.

Rules of the Challenge

First brevity is the key. Second it is not necessary to fully identify the parties involved but writing it like a script might be helpful. Third the conversations being shared can come from personal experiences, books, films, TV shows, or are imaginations.

April 29th-Self Talk

Having a conversation with yourself can be a productive exercise for self-reflection and decision-making.

Here’s how to make the most out of it:

  1. Think about what you are thinking. Determine if the conversations are positive or negative
  2. Challenge those negative thoughts. If you are not successful at something instead of telling yourself you suck reframe it to say I’m not fantastic yet.
  3. Practice mindfulness several times a day. Stay in the moment. Thinking about the past often results in guilt. Thinking of the future creates anxiety.
