Seeing Growth Is Not An Option, It Is Necessary
Words Matter We have to step up and be the person to encourage ourselves. The one that pushes us to be more, do more, and not quit. What we feed ourselves, we do eat! So let’s be more aware of how we talk to ourselves and what we actually say. I have to admit that I have many occasions even now when I catch myself be unkind to me. This has to stop and I…

More Than Enough We need to hype ourselves up! No comparisons to others but to who you used to be or who you want to be. Celebrate when you look at who you used to be and who you are now. Look forward to taking a step every day toward that person you are working hard to be. Celebrate every small step forward. We have to talk to ourselves! Tell yourself who you are and…

This is between you and you! When you tell yourself that you are more than able…more talented or good enough to accomplish the job, it is not a dig at anyone else.

Self talk…For Real You can either produce positive or negative self talk…periodttttt. That negative self talk will tear you down, make you feel less than human. Why would you want to sit around and talk sh*t to yourself? Honestly, when I am talking to myself in a negative tone, it feels like bullying. I wouldn’t let anyone else talk to me like that so why do I tolerate it from myself? It is a challenge…

Yes, I talk to myself! It is true! I do, even more so since the pandemic. One thing that I have learned in all this chatter is that the way that I talk to myself is actually the way I see myself. When I really paid attention to what I was saying to myself, I saw what I was doing to my confidence. We can either build our confidence or completely break ourselves down with…
