Who do you talk to the most?\xa0Maybe you\u2019re thinking: \u201cmy spouse, my kids, my friends, or my coworkers.\u201d This may surprise you but the answer is none of the above. On a daily basis, the person you talk to the most is, without question, yourself. We each have around\xa070,000 self-talk thoughts a day. And here\u2019s the problem\u201480% of them are negative. When we hear a steady barrage of negative words from the person we talk to by far the most, life becomes anything but simple. Disempowering thoughts (I\u2019m a bad mom, I\u2019m a mess, I\u2019m so overwhelmed, This day is terrible), especially when repeated often, drag us down and complicate our lives. These thoughts distract us from the present moment, keep us from meeting our goals and stop us from fully living our lives; however, what if we could apply the idea of decluttering to this area of life? Joining me today to encourage us as we \u2018declutter\u2019 negative self-talk is Julia Ubbenga, voice behind the popular social media account and blog, Rich in What Matters. Today Julia will take us through her process of forming better habits around the way we speak to ourselves.\xa0\n-------------------------------\nLinks Discussed in This Episode\n\nOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity\n\nMinimalist Resource: My Hygge Home by Meik Wiking\n\n\nDr. Amen\u2019s \u201cANT Catching\u201d tool: https://ahha.org/selfhelp-articles/ant-therapy/\n\n\nDr. Amen book\n\nArticle \u201cThree things to say to your child every day\u201d\n\n\nThe Hope Effect\n\nIG Live with Becker: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHLfG_AwlB/\n\n\nConnect with Julia:\n\nwebsite: https://richinwhatmatters.com/\n\n\ninstagram\n\n\ufeff\nShow Notes for EP252: Let's Declutter: Negative Self-Talk\nEnjoy this Podcast?\nPost a review and share it!\xa0If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
