What do you tell yourself about yourself? What do you say when you look at yourself in the mirror? Are you kind?

Our thoughts about ourselves, the story we tell ourselves about ourselves is who we are. Do you get that?

This is powerful. I know this to be true. What I tell myself about who I am determines how I show up. .
So why the hell do we SELF-LOATH? Why do we say we aren’t good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, funny enough?

We indulge in self-loathing. Like we deserve it. We hate ourselves so much we think we couldn’t possibly deserve to tell ourselves anything good.

I’m too fat, I hate my body, I wish I didn’t have such a big nose, I could never be like her, all my friends are prettier than me, if I were different someone would want me, I can’t start a business, there is no way I could ever make a lot of money, I’m not very smart, I’m stupid, I hate who I am.

Shit, just typing all that makes me want to cry, brings up all those emotions of hate. And that, I am not willing to do to myself. Not anymore. Been there done that.

Insert your hate talk, your self loathing... ya know, you probably don’t even know you do it. They can be the most sneaky little thoughts that are so deeply programmed into our brain that we have no idea how horribly they are effecting us.

All the thoughts you have about yourself are practiced, they are a choice, it’s all a story. So why not make it a great one. You can love yourself, all of you, all the time, did you know that?

It just takes practice. Practice thoughts that serve you, that build you up, make you feel amazing, beautiful, fun, kind, ambitious, loving, talented, excited, happy...all of the feels!!!

Go look in the mirror, right now! Tell yourself 1 thing you truly love about yourself. Just one little thing. Is this hard for you to do? It can be so telling of your self confidence if it is...

Can you come up with 2,3,4 things you love or appreciate about you?! Try it. Write it down. Practice thinking it every day.

Tell me in the comments below, what is 1 thing you love about yourself?

With Love,
