Positive inner dialogue is the most important skill to master. It is vital and necessary if you want a quality life.
Have you ever yelled at a baby just learning to walk?
“You fell again, you stupid idiot. What a failure– you will never learn!”
Of course not! Imagine if all babies were confronted with this type of feedback? Not one would learn to walk. Instead, we offer babies encouragement, praise and love. Certainly, as wise and seasoned humans we know the baby will walk one day; it’s simply a matter of time.
Likewise, why not offer yourself the same amount of encouragement, praise and love as you endeavor to learn and try new things?
And how many ‘falls’ or ‘failures’ or ‘tries’ do we give a baby?

Agreed!
Yes!
this is absolutely true
It is! Thank you, Mich.
Very true and superbly described…
“You will not raise beyond your own thoughts”
Absolutely. And thank you!
Wise words. It is only through failure that we can succeed. Embrace your failures. Daily affirmations of positive thoughts are the only way to replace the negative thoughts we were conditioned with. It is through these positive thoughts that we can change our paradigm. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Well said! This is absolutely true. It takes discipline to change our thoughts. ❤️
Agreed. You would never say that to a baby; that’s something you wouldn’t even say to your friends… so why say it to yourself?
Exactly! And yet we do… it breaks my heart. We all deserve the best from ourselves.
Absolutely love this! 💗I’ve always been highly strung and aimed for perfection. Mostly through up bringing and an art teacher who would rub everything I did out and make me start again. Now my cancer is teaching me there is no such thing and helping me unlearn it all..so I can finally feel free to be me. Knowing that no matter what happens I did my best and that’s good enough. Also, I like to think of any mistake or success as a form of self expression now. Well it’s a wip anyway. Better now then never! 😂💜💗
Same— as far as high strung and aimed for perfection. Perfection was crippling for me so much so that I wouldn’t even try because what’s the point if I couldn’t be perfect? I’ve learned to give myself so much more grace. But it was watching my kids grow up that taught me that. Mastering anything takes a lot of time and plenty of repetition. Loving ourselves through it is the best way to go. I’m so glad you’ve come to the place of ‘free to be me’ — it’s the very best place one can be!
Beck, the depth to which you write is superb, and your knowledge and foresight is exceptional!
Oh thank you so much! Your kind words mean so much to me. Be blessed!
It is a wonderful joy… blessings.
Blessings back 100 fold!
Truly appreciated… Peace and light.
Total radical acceptance of self, moles and all.
Yes! Especially the moles!!! 😂 thank you for stopping by. Be blessed 🤗
Feeling the warmth of your light.
