Let's be kind to ourselves! Manage the inner thoughts that are not being very nice!

We often aren’t very kind to ourselves, and most of the time, we're not even aware of what our inner dialogue sounds like. This tool is designed to help you start paying attention to what you're saying to yourself. One simple step is to begin speaking to yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would offer to a partner or a friend. As you shift the tone in your mind, you might start to notice a shift in how you feel. This week, try doing something kind for yourself, on purpose. For example, when I "date" myself, I might buy myself flowers—and then thank myself for doing it! I also love to sing love songs to myself in the car on my way to work (it always makes me laugh). Even when I'm folding laundry, washing dishes, or cooking, I thank myself for everything I do and remind myself how much I love me. It might sound a little strange, but I promise, it works! I never expect my clients to just believe me—I want you to try something new and see what resonates with you. Ready to give it a try?
