If you’ve ever found yourself mumbling about what you’re doing in the pantry or asking yourself why you walked into the garage and flipped on the lights, then you’re probably well-versed in the art of talking to yourself. The science behind it is obvious: As we vocalize our thoughts out loud, we help our brains process better. So, what if we applied this truth to our spiritual lives and began “talking back” to the lies our brains try to sell us sometimes? This exact practice of preaching truth to myself—out loud—is one that has served me well over 20 years of marriage and parenting. And I think it could help you too! Listen in as I give you concrete examples of what this looks like for me and how you too can benefit from talking yourself off of an emotional ledge before you ever tell anyone else something you might regret.
