Thoughts for the Week
“As you’re building awareness of your internal monologue and self-destructive thought patterns, pay attention to two factors: how you feel and what you say aloud.”
- Angela Watson
All of us (adults and students) need to build “awareness” of our own internal monologue. After all, we have more conversations with ourselves than we do with anyone else. That voice inside of our mind is constantly talking to us and dictating how we feel and also what we say aloud. It is our choice to think about things that are positive, uplifting, proactive, kind, loving, etc., or to think about things that are negative, defeating, failing, reactive, envious, hateful, etc. The essential question we have to ask ourselves is, “Do we want to get better?” or “Do we want to find the best version of ourselves?”
