Easier said than done, but I am just not allowing myself to talk this way.
That doesn’t mean that I can necessarily control it from happening in the first place, but what I can do is notice it as soon as possible, recognize it for what it is, put it aside, and replace it with something better, more optimistic, factual.
It’s that constant vigilance thing again. Oh, to live the observed life!

Through the practice in meditation of observing, accepting and puttting aside without judgement my thoughts that pop up while meditating, I am lessening my negative self-talk.
I am finding that what I am learning and practicing through meditation is gradually becoming habit in my life. I want to encourage this.
My busy brain is enjoying the rest. (This is amusing to me in a way, since my brain is so resistant to giving up its constant stream of judgment.)
