Does life have you on an emotional roller coaster? Up one day and down the next? If so, what are you telling yourself and why? Your thoughts not only control how you feel but also how you behave, which ultimately leads to the overall direction of your life. For example, if your self-talk is negative, you could be experiencing low self-worth, lack a sense of purpose, confusion, hopelessness, fear and so on. Sally H. Hall is no stranger to the battle of self-talk. She’s allowed her emotions to dictate her thoughts, decisions, and the direction of her life because the emotional characters in her head were always there talking, pushing, directing, and reminding. Often, her self-talk propelled her forward, and even more often held her back, down, and beat her up! Frightening is the fact that so much of what she told herself and believed over the years was wrong. It’s for this reason that Sally gets gut-level honest with you and will be sharing some of the most painful and damaging self-talk that invaded her thoughts for years. It’s also why she shares how she learned to evaluate and change her self-talk.

Using a workbook format, Self-Talk can help you look for answers to questions you might never have dared to ask. As you reach definitive conclusions, you’ll develop and test your reasoning and decision-making skills and find the tools you’ll need to mentally manage the emotional ups, downs, twists, and turns of life.

Much like a roller coaster, my life has been a wild ride of ups, downs, twists, and turns. Negative words, shattered dreams, acts of rejection, betrayal, failures as well as broken and lost relationships-all of it, has shaped my thinking and trained my mind. The wild ride has brought me joy, messed me up and taken me higher and lower than I ever imagined. Can you relate? Whether riding up or down, my self-talk became what I believed about myself, others, my life, and the world in general. My basis for making decisions was whatever felt right, was comfortable or made me happy. Of course, whatever felt right, was comfortable or made me happy could change from day today! Honestly, my wild ride in this crazy world was like being on the biggest, most scary roller coaster ride in the dark with no strong bar to grip! It wasn't until I was in her 40's that I discovered God in His Word had much to say about this world in which we live, the people in it and why the ride is so wild. When I finally got my grip on the strong bar of God's Word, my first thoughts were "Had I only known sooner!" and "Why didn't someone tell me? Whether serving in ministry leadership positions, writing Bible studies or speaking at numerous retreats, seminars or conferences, my driving passion, heart's desire, and life's mission is to help others discover and embrace God's Word as absolute truth-sooner rather than later! Because I know what it's like to have a messed-up thought life, and no idea how to make things better, my heart aches for people to understand the Bible is our manual for life that's meant to be explored, enjoyed, treasured, and lived out!
