Self-talk assessment

How healthy is your self-talk?

We all have an inner voice in our heads. It’s like a running commentary on its favorite subject: you.

All day long, your inner voice is giving you positive messages (“Nice work!”) or negative ones (“Terrible!”) about what you’re doing, what you’ve done and what you can (or can’t) do. These messages can make you feel good – or bad – about your looks, abilities, decisions and relationships.

Positive self-talk focuses on your strengths. Negative self-talk focuses on your weaknesses. How much positive or negative self-talk do you give yourself? Find out in the quiz below.
