Conversation with yourself is your inner dialogue. This conversation is influenced by the unconscious and reveals your thoughts, beliefs, questions and ideas.
Conversation with yourself can be both negative and positive. It can be encouraging, but it can also be disturbing. Much of the talking depends on the personality you have. If you are optimistic, talking to yourself can be more hopeful and positive.
Positive thinking and optimism can be effective stress management tools. In fact, having a more positive outlook on life can provide you with some health benefits. For example, a 2010 study shows that optimists have a better quality of life.
Why is it effective?
