THE POSITIVITY ISSUE

THE POWER OF POSITIVE TALK

OUR INNER VOICE SHOULD BE OUR BIGGEST FAN , BUT OFTEN IT ’ S OUR BIGGEST CRITIC . HERE ’ S HOW TO GIVE YOURS A POSITIVITY BOOST .

Can selftalk be too positive ?

While positive self-talk is great , it can be very hard to work with someone who believes in themselves a bit too much .
Overconfidence can sometimes be a sign that someone is overcompensating ; perhaps they are actually feeling insecure or worried about something .
If you ’ re dealing with someone who is overconfident , don ’ t let them undermine you . Listen to them and give constructive feedback so they know they ’ ve been heard . Set some boundaries too ; let them know if there are certain situations they must ask for help or guidance before acting .
