Isn't it interesting how we
all like to dish out bits of
advice, sage or otherwise.
Still, we find it a tad harder
to take it!
"You really need to lose
some weight, but of course
I don't. Stop asking me for
a loan; I've never had to
borrow money in my life.
She's such a gossip; no way
would I talk about anybody
the way she does."
I get that was all a bit catty.
Okay, more than a bit catty.
I fear we often say some of
the most horrendous things
to ourselves. In fact, I am
only even now coming to
understand what damage
we do to ourselves with our
self talk.
"I'm too fat. I'm not smart
enough. I shouldn't put up
with his talk. I need to read
more. I'd better work a few
more hours."
Frankly, it doesn't really
matter how surly or how
sophisticated our self
comments are. For sure,
it would be truly important
that our self talk be of a
higher caliber.
"My hair looks nice today.
I really like this dress on me.
This is a really good book I
am reading just now. I should
tell Jo how much I enjoy her
stories."
These types of higher self
comments are so healthy. We
would all benefit from seeking
to be much more positive!
"You look lovely today and
I'm all dressed up; let's go out
for lunch. Did you see what a
fine article Alice wrote? I would
like to learn from her; she's such
a good writer."
Now, that's the kind of self talk
we should all be doing!
