What do you tell yourself about yourself?
Do you believe it?
And more importantly — is it holding you back?
We’d all love to believe we fill our minds with uplifting, powerful affirmations… but for most of us, that’s not the default. Instead, we whisper things to ourselves we’d never say to a friend:
- “You’re not good enough.”
- “You’ll never follow through.”
- “Why even try?”
These limiting beliefs feel real, but they’re not. They’re lies — quiet ones we’ve repeated so often they’ve become background noise.
Flip the Script
Every time you hear a harsh internal voice, stop it in its tracks.
Replace it with something kind, truthful, and helpful — the way you’d speak to someone you care about deeply. For example:
- “I’ve gotten through harder things before.”
- “I’m learning and growing every day.”
- “I deserve to feel proud of myself.”
Think about moments where you proved yourself:
- That time you got the promotion.
- The way your words lifted someone’s day.
- The energy and pride after completing a tough project.
You’ve done it before. You can do it again.
Practice the Positive
Yes, those negative self-comments might still pop up. That’s normal. You can’t always control what thoughts arrive — but you can control what you focus on.
So practice positive self-talk daily:
- Write kind words in a journal.
- Say them in the mirror.
- Share them with people who support you.
Remind yourself of what’s true. Speak powerfully to yourself — not to fake it, but to fuel it.
Building a foundation for a better life.
