Self-Talk: Our Love/Hate Relationship

S2E2:  Self-Talk: Our Love/Hate Relationship

In this week’s #LISGD episode, Our hosts are filled with ideas on how to combat negative self-talk, talking at length about how our attitudes and future behaviors are affected by what we are thinking about alone in our minds! As they obsess about  @justJenSav ’s athleisure confusion and @honestlyHannah’s pottery passion, they spend some quality time with their “Ask Our Man” guest, Justin, who shares his insights into keeping communications consistently strong with your partner.

• @honestlyHannah shares why she is never divorcing pottery because it gives her the chance to unplug from her cell and just focus on one thing - making special pottery gifts for all her friends.
• When @honestlyHannah mentions her desire to divorce athleisure, Jen talks about her recent trip to ATL where every woman was wearing Lululemons and she looked out of place “dressed up” in real clothes. Even Jen and her goddaughter went shopping at Lululemon and supported the ATL athleisure movement!
• As they jump into self-talk analysis, both agree women and men have different self-talk patterns and wonder why women’s self-talk tends to be more negative. They would never talk to their friends the way they talk to themselves, so remember this the next time you are negative about yourself. 
• @honestlyHannah and  @justJenSav recommend reaching out for a friend so you can try to hear the positive things about yourself and not get bogged down in all the self-shaming.  @justJenSav also recommended what she has done in the past - talk to yourself in the third person - she says it helps you remain in the facts and less negative.
• Justin comes back to the show so we can “Ask Our Man” about how he and his wife have learned how to communicate effectively over their 26 years of marriage. Justin believes most people focus on the negative parts of their life, and if he did that all the time he would be very disappointed. Being positive about our life and our partner is important. Justin says he works on being self-aware, but wants to be there for his partner and support her in the ways she needs it rather than just thinking about himself.
