2. Your parents have such an affect on you that their words can become buried in your brain and phrases echo around your head. Sometimes you hear your father's comments in a situation you've experienced before only this time you're telling yourself the same thing!
3. If you hear the same negative comments too often you may believe them and tell yourself what others think is true. negative thinking - find out how to beat it.
4. Excuses not to try something risky. But if you always stay with what's safe and never take a risk you will never reach your potential to succeed big time. You will turn away opportunities before you even think about them.

The power of self talk

Thoughts precede moods so if you think unhappy thoughts you feel unhappy. Self talk is your thoughts making themselves known to you. Hearing somebody else talking negatively is bad enough so imagine how much more hearing your own inner voice is. If you tell yourself you are a failure, guess what, you will be! If you tell yourself you can succeed then you have a much improved chance of succeeding.

Negative self talk can lead to low self esteem, no confidence or even depression and this leads to more negative thought. A vicious circle.
