When you make a mistake, what’s the first sentence you say to yourself?
Last time, we explored the idea of giving ourselves credit – recognising the quiet resilience, hard choices, and the ways we’ve grown (even if it didn’t look “perfect”). If you missed it, you can catch up here
Thank you again for the messages you sent in response – it’s a privilege to share your reflections with you.
This week, I’ve been thinking about the voice that we carry with us day to day – the tone, the words, and the internal dialogue that so often goes unnoticed.
That quiet murmur that either lifts us… or slowly wears us down.
It’s worth asking:
- How am I speaking to myself today?
- If I heard someone talking to a friend, the way I am speaking to myself… how would I feel?
- What belief is hiding behind the way I’m narrating my own life right now?
Here’s what I’ve noticed…
We can’t always silence that inner critic – we can learn to meet it with kindness though.
We can gently shift the tone. We can speak back in a positive way.
We can remind ourselves that we are allowed to be a work in progress and a masterpiece in motion – at the same time.
This week…
- What if your inner voice was your inner encourager?
- What if, just for a moment, you spoke to yourself as you would to someone you deeply care about?
It doesn’t have to be loud. It just has to be true.
If your inner voice was your closest ally, what would it say to you today?
Try whispering:
- “I’m doing better than I think.”
- “This is hard, yet I’ve done tough things before, and I can again.”
- “I don’t have to earn my worth. I already have it.”
“Talk to yourself like someone you love.”
