I just told a client a few weeks ago: Your inner voice narrates all that you do.
Your inner voice is:
- Not always right.
- Just a moment in a long story that we tell ourselves about ourselves.
- Created by all that comes at you in life.
- Beautiful, no matter what it says.
What does yours say?
Recently my inner voice has been a bitchy little critic. (CLICK TO TWEET)
I keep telling her to STFU. But she doesn't listen.
I speak to myself SO DIFFERENTLY than I speak to anyone else.
I talk to my kids with (mostly) sweetness. My husband. . .well, I try.
With my clients I am firm, yet kind. My friends and family come to me to be talked though things. To be LISTENED TO.
My intention is to work on the conversations I have with myself in my head. Conversations about feelings and thoughts and worthwhileness and overwhelm and incapacity. The funny thing is when these things come aloud, I don't even believe them.
I know I am not what the voice says I am. But now, to sweeten the voice. To add fullness and honey.
Learning to take care of myself. Learning to care for myself with how I talk to myself.
