"Talking to yourself is fine, just know what to say!"

We're constantly engaged in inner-conversation and my approach as a life coach is to help people become aware of what they're saying to themselves and how it helps or hinders them. It takes awareness.

Personally, I use that awareness with the many hats I wear. In addition to being a life coach, I am a university professor and interfaith minister. I even use it as a husband, father, and grandfather.

And no, I don't constantly go around bugging folks about their self-talk. I'm not that guy! But opportunities do arise to remind people.
