About Toolbox Quizzes

Simply being aware of some aspects which drive and influence our daily lives is a powerful first step to turning inward with curiosity and care, and which may initiate further ideas/choices.

Quizzes can be conducted with or without a support person, and are useful for individuals to:

  • Build better awareness of how they see themselves.
  • Explore their inner world with curiosity, not judgment.
  • Support emotional wellbeing, creative expression, and personal growth.

And for professionals to:

  • Aid counsellors and psychologists to use these tools at their own discretion.
  • Coach and educate to foster metacognition and reflective learning.
  • Further narrative therapy, dialogical therapy, and cognitive-behavioural approaches.

Quizzes may additionally prove beneficial for user selected third parties (IE in a pre-employment assessment situation, sports coaching, or professional counselling environment).

Internal Dialogue

Talking to yourself has never felt better

What might be the result of a lifetime of negative internal dialogue or dirty self-chatter? What might our kids pick up on? What if they exhibit similar tendencies? Should we care? Damn straight we should!  While answers are not scientifically concluded, it appears our self-talk at least plays a role in supporting various outcomes – whether positive toward their successful achievement, or negative toward the opposite. Internal dialogue or self-chatter refers to the words or conversation (thoughts or those spoken verbally) which play out through our daily lives. We all do it, and almost all the time. How we think about ourselves and speak to ourselves may have more of an influence than we think – on both short term and lifetime outcomes. It’s been said that simply changing one’s aspect and respect to self-chatter leads to ‘I didn’t realise I could fix myself, and just this component has been ‘the best self-help around’. For others, they advise a step in this direction is the first big step to start better connecting with your subconscious.

Negative self-chatter examples include, “Oh, you really are an idiot. You do this to yourself all the time. This always happens to me! I’m always making mistakes. I’m just hopeless, just like my mum”. Regardless of how flippant or incidental these statements might appear, when repeated often enough they act as an affirmation, automatically. Even unintended dialogue may well lead to someone’s reality. Having personally seen this paradigm in action and later becoming aware of some of the fuel involved, it can be a slippery slope. Much like the good old frog in the pot on the stove unaware of the risk of rising temperature, it’s useful for us all to keep a keen eye on the fundamentals at play. A little bit like a Le Mans driver going flat stick while unaware of being under a caution, the opposite to what might be logically considered a successful race could result.

Internal Dialogue – Real Deep Dive

We can slant our self-chatter negatively, positively, or anywhere in between. Most of us aren’t even aware when we do it, and less so again of the influence over time. Even singing associative phrases forms part of our internal dialogue. Further, there is mounting evidence to suggest that matters on which we focus can and do become our reality. Undertaking a self-audit here can simply involve asking this question: ‘Am I happy to accept this as being my reality?’ It’s really that simple.
