The way you talk to yourself matters. Please don’t bully yourself.

________________________

Negative self-talk doesn’t motivate us to be or do “better”. It can actually damage our sense of self and our wellbeing. Try this instead:

💙 If you wouldn’t say it to a friend, don’t say it to yourself

💙 Try speaking to yourself in the third person to get emotional distance from your thoughts

💙 Question your inner critic (is it really true?)
