“You will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head. Be kind to yourself.” ~Unknown
Here are some examples of creating the space for nurturing self-talk:
- Choosing myself, even if it means upsetting others
- Giving my body the rest, exercise and comfort it needs to the best of my ability
- Appreciating myself as a whole person
- Making time to do whatever I love, without worrying about wasting time
- Learning to set boundaries that nurture my relationship with myself and others
- Complimenting myself without feeling guilty, arrogant or entitled (owning my inner and outer beauty)
- Allowing myself to make mistakes and not berating myself for making them
- Loving and accepting myself even when I fail
And by speaking to myself more kindly, I am bringing clarity and harmony to my internal world. The more time I take to nurture myself with these loving words, the more peaceful and grounded I feel.
