Fire Your Inner Critic
Take a moment to listen, and record some of your self-talk below. What do you hear your inner voice say about you?
Write down two negative things you say to yourself, that you'd never dream of saying to a friend. How does it make you feel to hear that?
Now let's replace it. What could you say instead? How would that make you feel? When I’m doing this activity with the kids we write the old negative ones down on postick notes, and talk about how all that makes them feel, when they are stuck on them like that. It’s a good visual. Then we shred them, or put them on a campfire to signal the letting go. Once you have some positive ones to replace them put them on postick notes around the house, on the bathroom mirror, reminders everywhere to be kind to ourselves and each other. THIS is a powerful cultural shift for everyone at home.
Commit to replacing the negative talk, with your new inner voice for 30 days. This investment in your own thoughts - which then shape your feelings and your actions - is SO worth it!
