Do you listen to that little nasty voice in your head?
You know the one I mean, the one that undermines your confidence. The one that says really awful things that you would NEVER say to anyone else. It whispers things like, you aren’t good enough, no one wants to hear your ideas, you aren’t interesting, everyone thinks you are rubbish at your job, mother, friend .. etc, etc.
It’s the one that stops you from putting your idea forward in a meeting, the one that stops you from wearing the outfit that you love but feels a little ‘out there’ for you. The one that stops you from, well loads of stuff.
So how do you make a change?
💀Take notice - when does it happen, what does it sound like, what exactly is the voice saying?
💀Have a protocol ready for when the thoughts occur. For example, if you think, “I’m a rubbish friend because I never respond to messages quickly” have some evidence at the ready to throw back! I’m a good friend because people see value in my contributions, I am a caring person I text my friend to make sure she felt ok when I knew she was sad etc etc.
💀Change the thought - instead of I’m a rubbish friend think I’m a good friend who is there for the urgent things.
