Self Compassion - Positive Self-Talk

Ok - so in the last post we learned about noticing that you're talking crap to yourself and using the visual image of a stop sign to stop the flow. This is consciously stopping the neural pathway. Now what?

Now you play in Opposite Land. You say the opposite of what you're telling yourself.

"I can't believe I did that. I'm so dumb."

Stopsign.

"I am brilliant." ____

"I am so lazy."

Stopsign.

"I am energetic and full of life." ____

"I can't do that."

Stopsign.

"I can do anything." ____

The key is to use these phrases:

  • I am

  • I can

  • I will

And use them with no negative words like not or n't - keep the phrase in the positive.

Being kind to yourself is one of the best gifts you can give. And talking kindly to yourself is a skill to learn. Start today.
