Changing Your Self Talk: Want to see real results? Change how you talk to yourself. We’re often our harshest critic and fall into a trap of negative self-talk. This will leave us unmotivated, with lower self-esteem and fear of trying new things. Switch your self-talk from criticism to self-compassion. In this blog post, I discuss the benefits of positive compassionate self talk and give examples of how to switch your self-talk.
Do you struggle with feeling like you are not good enough? Perfectionists and people with unrealistically high standards can often get stuck in a trap of never feeling like what they do is enough. This can have bad consequences for our mental health and well being. You can recalibrate your internal compass of success so you have more realistic and flexible standards that still allow you to be your best while also feeling much more confident. Read today’s post to learn how to readjust your internal compass of success and believe: You are Enough.
How do we stop this natural habit of making social comparisons especially when they hurt our self esteem and confidence? I write about what the role of social comparisons are, how these comparisons are harmful unrealistic traps, and how we can shift the negative spiral into new habits that are more helpful and build self acceptance.
