Life Coaching Intentions eCourse Day 17
Hmm…Is it soft or wimpy to speak nicely to yourself? No! It is responsible, compassionate and effective if you want to be your happiest and get the best performance from yourself. Frankly, some things we say to ourselves are downright abusive, and we would never say them to another person (at least if we were at all on good behavior!) Here are some examples of things you might say to yourself that aren’t helpful, and how they can be adjusted so that you are not lying to yourself, but you are not being mean either.
Not so nice: I am an idiot! Better: That wasn’t so smart of me… Better yet: I am not sure I approached that in the best way…how could I do this better next time?
Not so nice: I’ll never be good at anything! Better: I might need more practice at this. Better yet: I know I have talents; I just need to figure out what they are.
Get the idea? Sometimes you will need to try out a couple of things on yourself, and see how they feel, until you find something that works better for you (i.e. feels better to you.) Even if you are skeptical, or proud of your rough and tumble internal environment (nothing hurts you, hmm? Sure!), I hope you at least give this a chance. This is about building yourself up to be the best person you can be, instead of tearing yourself down. Today’s Intention: Today I intend to notice when I say things to myself that make me feel bad, and find ways of thinking of things that make me feel better. I think you will feel a difference in no time! Again, today’s intention: Today I intend to notice when I say things to myself that make me feel bad, and find ways of thinking of things that make me feel better. Have an amazing intentional day!
