Negative Self Talk

“I’m ugly, I’m fat, I’m undesirable.”

Have you ever told yourself this?

Or maybe it’s, “I’m too thin, I hate my body, I hate my hair, my teeth, if only my legs weren’t so big, my arms, my forehead.”

Or maybe it’s not your body... maybe it’s , “I’m not good enough, no one will ever love me like that, I’m not smart enough, I can’t do what she did, I’m not fun to be around, I wish I were more like her.”

Any of these sound familiar? Yup, to me too. But now, those are my old friends. I don’t entertain them very much anymore. They always try to come over tho, ya know like the “Stacey” in your friend group, you always let her hang out but don’t even like her.

But really, why do we ever talk to ourselves like this? It is so common. You are not alone, most women I know have done this in some area. Self- loath, negative self talk, no confidence, little to no self love.

Are you tired of feeling this way? I was.

Now, I love my body, I am smart and capable of anything I put my mind to, I’m desirable, I am loved, I am fun, and I’m confident and very proud to say I’m a wonderful Life Coach.

It feels so good to say all those things and truly believe them. That is the key…believing them. Sometimes we tell ourselves things we think we need to like “I shouldn’t think this way, okay, what am I grateful for…my friends, family, job…”. We run, cover our insecurities with guilt. We get mad at ourselves for thinking negatively in the first place, hence the guilt, which spirals into more self- criticism…a vicious cycle.

Imagine if you really believed you were enough, can you? What would that feel like? What would you have to think to feel this way? Have you explored this idea? Do you want to?

So, what do you say? Ready to feel better? Ready to believe wonderful things about yourself?

Come coach with me, you won’t regret it.
