You Deserve Better Than the Story You’re Telling Yourself

Your words matter

The words you use to describe who you are, have a lot to do with how you live your life.

What’s the story you’re telling yourself ?

  • I’m lazy.
  • I’m not good at writing.
  • I have no money.
  • I suck at small talk.

When you believe the stories you tell yourself, you become those stories.

The daily messages on repeat or the particular phrases in certain situations impact how you perceive yourself. You live into the messages. Whether they’re true or not doesn't matter.

As my mom always says: Mind your tongue.

She’s right.

When speaking to or about yourself take notice of the words you use. If you don’t have anything nice to say, think of something. You deserve it!
