We tune into its endless chatter to look for guidance, ideas and wisdom. Except sometimes, this voice leads us down a rabbit hole of negative self-talk and endless rumination.These silent conversations are so powerful they can sink our mood, trip us up and even impact our health. How can we take back control?
