Are you a good friend to yourself?
Would you talk to your best friend the same way you speak to yourself? We’re all much kinder, more helpful and supportive when we speak to others, then when we self-talk.
We may have become more attune to bullying from others, but in reality, too often we bully ourselves. We can be overly critical, berating and questioning ourselves, self-judging who we are and what we do through a negative lens. Just being plain mean.
For example, how often do you discount the positive, downplaying positive experiences and successful achievements by telling yourself that they don’t count. If you do a good job, you reason that anyone else on the team could have done just as well, so what does it even matter?
Becoming more aware of your self-talk opens up a window in your mind, blowing away the dark clouds. Letting the warmth and light in.
I teach you techniques to block the bully and become your own best friend. Imagine the relief.
