How you talk to and about yourself matters.
Self talk is powerful. Not just on you, but on the way it impacts people around you.
Realistically, you cannot instantly unwire a lifetime of feeling criticized, people-pleasing, or whatever other kinds of damage to your self esteem and self image you’ve experienced in your lifetime.
But what you can change is the way that you speak to and about yourself now.
You can choose to put a halt to a constant barrage of negative language and imposter syndrome vibes you cast towards yourself. It does not benefit you to believe or speak into the world that you are not worthy, smart, attractive, deserving of great things, etc. It’s more hurtful to yourself than you likely realize.
Shut down the bully that’s renting space in your head.
Stop being on a mission in this life to convince you and everyone else that for whatever reason, you aren’t good enough. You. Are. Good. Enough.
“Speak to yourself with the same grace and gentleness that you’d extend to a good friend.”
Speak to yourself with the same grace and gentleness that you’d extend to a great friend. There’s a reason that you speak to your friends in a more positive, uplifting light, and that same reason is why it matters to do with yourself as well.
This impacts others, not just you.
Modeling self love by speaking about yourself positively may change the way someone else thinks and talks about themselves too. We are all flawed, it’s not boastful or arrogant to simply love and appreciate yourself, imperfections and all.
Speaking about ourselves with love encourages those around us to do the same for themselves. You never know who’s experience of themselves might change as a result of hearing you speak about you.
Whether that is a child or younger person, or someone who is just more easily influenced or has a challenging self image, make an impact on someone else by setting an example of healthy self talk.
Stop casting yourself down and using your words to cast negative spells.
Words are powerful, use yours for good to plant seeds of positivity within and around you. The effect this behavior will have on you and your life is significant. Be awesome to yourself.
