🔔 Identify your negative self-talk pattern
The best way to overcome negative self-talk is to catch it before it has the chance to develop.
Each time a negative thought crosses your mind-
🧨Recognize it by understanding your negative self-talk pattern.
🧨Make an effort to reframe it into something more positive and optimistic.
🧨Acknowledge your feelings, but try to find the good in the situation.
When I notice my inner critic telling me I’m not good enough, I take a deep breath, take a few moments for myself, and shift my focus to positive things in my life that I’m proud of.
For example, I’ll remind myself of all the great moments with my kids, the incredible milestones we have accomplished at work, or a good moment with my partner.
🎯 By recognizing and acknowledging negative self-talk and replacing it with a positive narrative, you can start to practice self-care and rebuild your confidence and resilience.

🔔Negative absolutes
I love this exercise and have greatly benefited from implementing it in my daily routine.
🧨 Once you recognize and notice these thoughts, tell yourself the opposite.
If your thought is that, “I always screw up,” replace that thought with, “sometimes I make mistakes, but that’s okay; I will learn and grow from those mistakes.”
If you think, “I will never get this right,” change that thought with this, “I am struggling with this, but I will get it.”
