Most of us have a voice in our heads that dictates information to us. It may be the voice that prompts you to say something during a conversation, or the voice that tells you what you really want in a given situation. It is the voice that tells you how you look when you look in the mirror or the voice that speaks to you in terms of your self-esteem. It can be both positive and negative.

This type of self-talk, when negative, can create a significant amount of mental clutter in our head. When you tell yourself that a specific goal you are trying to achieve is impossible, it can end up actualizing a situation in which you end up failing.

On the other hand, if you can cultivate positive self-talk, the results are much more likely to end up being the opposite. Instead of failing, you succeed. Negative self-talk ends up creating a negative mental environment that affects all aspects of our lives.
