We all do it. It can be very easy for us to get stuck in negative thought patterns and internal dialogue. This negative chatter inside our heads can do all kinds of damage to our lives, often without us even being aware of it.

So what's the solution? Reshaping your thinking is perfectly possible, but it requires a bit of commitment and self-awareness. Here are five TED talks that offer simple and useful tools that anyone can use to stop that negative internal dialogue and replace it with positive thinking.
