Before I started monitoring my own thoughts, I would have been mortified if my internal conversations were broadcasted for the world to hear. I used to find myself saying really cruel things about my body, life or financial situation. So much so, over time, they did not seem harsh or negative. I believed them to be true! I was so unaware this habit was blocking any chance of creating a kinder relationship with myself.
Words have the power to build others up or tear them down. But the way we talk to ourselves has the biggest impact on our own life and how we experience the world. Learning to speak to ourselves kindly, is the only way to break negative beliefs, behaviours and insecurities that can cripple our daily lives.
Each and every minute of the day, we are having conversations with ourselves – whether we pay attention to it or not. Internal conversations about what’s happening and what it means. Influencing our emotions about what we believe to be true about ourselves and then acting according to these belief’s.
