I once heard a quote that goes: “you speak to yourself more than anyone else, so be kind.”. At that point, I realized that self-talk is indeed a critical aspect of our inner dialogue.
Self-talk is so powerful that it shapes how we view ourselves and also influences our decision-making. This means this superpower can either be empowering (positive) or self-limiting (negative) depending on how you use it.
It’s really easy to go down the rabbit hole of negative self-talk. This might be evident in our day to day interactions with others when we hear them say things like: “I don’t think I’m good enough”, or having the tendency to magnify their mistakes. For me personally, I have realized that this diminishes my self-worth and kills my potential for success.
Consequently, it leads to more unneeded stress in one’s life.
If you’re ever fall in the trap of self-criticism, I want you to remember these 20 quotes to boost your confidence, make you feel amazing about yourself and hopefully get you to practice more self-compassion.
