It can improve and enhance performance of our physical wellbeing (Taha Tinana). Research shows that self-talk can help athletes with performance. It may support with endurance or to power through a set of heavyweights.
Self-talk can also improve our mental & emotional wellbeing (Taha Hinengaro). Self-talk can help students and workers by doing their work or completing their work. Your thoughts are the cause of your emotions and mood. The communications you have with yourself can be destructive or beneficial. They determine how you feel about yourself and how you react to situations in your life. People are becoming more conscious that positive self-talk is a powerful tool for developing your self-confidence and restraining negative emotions.
