• Self-talk is not accidental or monkey mind, self-talk is purposeful in its desire to hold your attention.
• Self-talk will jump to whatever will keep you engaged, because its one goal is to have your energy, focus, and time to itself.
• Self-talk keeps your energy, focus, and time by always presenting an ego issue that you struggle with in the past, present, or future.
• Self-talk is like that person you know who never stops talking or like that person you know who always has to have the last word and be right especially when they are in the wrong.
• Ever wonder why you cannot forget about something? Look closely and you will see that self-talk is making that issue or memory about what and who you are in competing and conflicting ways.
