Today’s Quote

I love the above quote, it’s so simple, but it’s so poignant. I’ve talked about struggling with my own inner dialogue on here before and just how easy it is to immediately blame yourself, or call yourself an idiot, or any number of other horrible names for any mistake, no matter how small.

If your best friend, or maybe your mom, or your kids made a mistake, even a little one, like spilling a glass of water, would you immediately tear into them on a diatribe and make them feel like they are worth any less?

It’s never okay to tear ourselves down. Positive self talk is HARD, but it is so, so, so worth it. Give it a try. Whenever you notice yourself about to tear a strip off of yourself (or if it’s already started) take a breath, and forgive yourself. Tell yourself it’s okay. Burning dinner isn’t that big of a deal. That broken plate was old and chipped anyway, it’s fine. I’m fine.
