The Impact of Mental Chatter on Well-being
Mental chatter, defined as negative inner dialogue, can significantly affect well-being. While inner dialogue itself can be beneficial, mental chatter, like worry and self-criticism, can be detrimental. Recognizing and controlling mental chatter can improve performance and well-being. Strategies like distance self-talk, using third person language, can help individuals be kinder to themselves and enhance overall mental well-being.
