Negative self-talk can be detrimental to our mental wellbeing and can hinder our progress in any aspect of life, including our journey with amyloidosis. Here are some tips on how to stop negative self-talk and improve your outlook and results: 1. Awareness: The first step in stopping negative self-talk is to become aware of it. Notice when you are being self-critical or using negative language towards yourself. 2. Challenge negative thoughts: Once you are aware of negative self-talk, challenge those thoughts. Ask yourself if they are true or if they are just a result of negative thinking patterns. 3. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones: Whenever you catch yourself thinking negatively, replace those thoughts with positive affirmations. Focus on your strengths and accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. 4. Surround yourself with positivity: Surround yourself with positive people who support and encourage you. Avoid negative influences that bring you down. 5. Practice self-care: Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally.
