Daily Inspiration - Give yourself a break
Give yourself a break.
Have you been hard on yourself lately? Do you criticize yourself at every misstep?
Negative self talk does not help you to change the behaviors you want to change. It is discouraging, and often leads to self destructive behavior. So, instead of telling yourself you are fat, for example, tell yourself you are making progress, or that you are capable of change, or that you are lovable.
Action for the day: Today, be nice to yourself. Talk kindly. Don't judge. Be encouraging. You may be surprised at how you respond to a break from the harshness.
