What You’ll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength
Our internal dialogue plays a huge role in our mental health. And our mental health affects our internal dialogue. Fortunately, everyone can choose to work on improving their self-talk. When you do, your mental health might improve. Therapists often help people choose different stories they tell themselves. They help people see themselves, other people, and the world in a different light. Sometimes, choosing different stories helps people develop the mental strength they need to feel their best.
Quotes From Kindra
“As we behave, we’re doing it with these stories in mind, whether we know it or not. And so these stories can either move you forward or keep you where you are in someplace, [and] bring you backward.““We’re not going back to try to pretend that that didn’t happen, but we can choose how we see that story.““Anytime you’re procrastinating, there are probably some stories there that are keeping you from taking action.”
