Have you ever paused to listen to the conversations you have with yourself? It's quite interesting to think about how our inner dialogue, something we all experience, can affect our emotional state. When we engage in self-talk—the internal monologue we all have throughout the day—we're essentially having a chat with ourselves. The words we choose in these moments can really impact our mood, our stress levels, and even our physical health.
Negative self-talk, such as telling ourselves that we're not good enough, can activate the body's stress response, flooding us with cortisol and other stress hormones that can have a range of adverse effects over time. Conversely, a positive and self-affirming inner dialogue can help counteract stress's effects and improve our well-being.
So, let's start a conversation about this. How do you talk to yourself? Are you your cheerleader, or do you find that you're often your own worst critic? Please share your experiences with self-talk in the comments below, and let's discuss ways to cultivate a more positive and empowering inner dialogue. Remember, the way we speak to ourselves matters. Let's learn to be kinder to the person we talk to the most – ourselves.
Will Smith and Johnny Depp are the reminder to all men, that you can have good looks, have all the fame in the world, and enough money to last 1000 lives, but if you don't have a good wife as a life partner, your life will be miserable.
A good woman is worth more than all the gold in the world. If you found one, consider yourself rich.❤️

We all have feelings of anxiety, worry and fear sometimes. These can be normal responses to certain situations. For example, you might worry about a job interview, or about paying a bill on time. These feelings can give you an awareness of risks and what you need to do in a difficult or dangerous situation. This reaction is known as ‘fight or flight’. Your brain responds to a threat or danger by releasing stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. Even if the danger is not real, these hormones cause the physical symptoms of anxiety.
Once the threatening situation has stopped, your body will usually return to normal. But if you have an anxiety disorder these feelings of fear and danger can be ongoing and interrupt your daily routine long after the threat has gone.
They can make you feel as though things are worse than they actually are. Everyone’s experience of anxiety disorders is different. Not everyone who has an anxiety disorder will experience the same symptoms.
Mental symptoms of anxiety can include:
• racing thoughts,
• uncontrollable over-thinking,
• difficulties concentrating,
• feelings of dread, panic or ‘impending doom’,
• feeling irritable,
• heightened alertness,
• problems with sleep,
• changes in appetite,
• wanting to escape from the situation you are in,
• dissociation.
If you dissociate you might feel like you are not connected to your own body. Or like you are watching things happen around you, without feeling it. Physical symptoms of anxiety can include:
• sweating,
• heavy and fast breathing,
• hot flushes or blushing,
• dry mouth,
• shaking,
• hair loss,
• fast heartbeat,
• extreme tiredness or lack of energy
• dizziness and fainting,
• stomach aches and sickness. Anxiety can lead to depression if left untreated.
