The Construction of Self-Talk - Anteater

The texts for this week all in some way point to how we have learned to (and possibly must unlearn) speak to ourselves and the real life consequences of that self-talk. How do you see your "intrapersonal" rhetoric impacting your writing or other creative/communicative practice? What strategies have you tried to address struggles in communication? If you feel comfortable doing so, you can also share how you learned your specific self-talk or strategies for communication. (Communication here can mean reading, writing, speaking, listening, dancing, designing, texting, etc.)
