Are you constantly feeling like you are not worthy? Do you beat yourself up and think there is no good in you at all? These are signs of negative self-talk.  Miya Yamanouchi, motivational author and counsellor said, “The way you choose to think and speak about yourself (to yourself and others), IS A CHOICE! You may have spent your whole life talking about yourself in a negative way, but that doesn't mean you have to continue that path.”  Negative self-talk isn't constructive, and it rarely motivates us to make any changes.
