Self Talk

Dearheart, I love you!


Today I wish to talk about: Self talk. How are you talking to yourself? What do you say to you about you?
You have more power over your life than anybody else has. ~Joyce Meyer

Compliment yourself more often. Especially when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. Do not listen to, or read articles in magazines that define what you "should" look like. No one should look like anyone else. How is that even possible? We are created as individuals with our own special peculiarities for a reason. We are not designed differently so that we can criticize ourselves and each other. Perhaps the only reason is so that we, as humans, can learn to appreciate the beauty, the wonderment  and genius of creation.


Do not judge yourself. There is a huge difference between judgment and discernment. At first it looks like the same thing, but it's not. Judgment concentrates on the past. It's a woulda-shoulda-coulda concept. It helps no one, especially yourself. Discernment has to do with self care. It's going over the blunder you've made and making a commitment that in the future you will do better, because now you know. Judgment is heavy, regretful, rife with self-loathing. Discernment is light, all encompassing, warm, hopeful.

Don't give in to self-loathing. I don't think we realize how hateful we can get to ourselves. We are our own worst critic. Some of the things we say to ourself, even our worst enemy wouldn't go there. Self-loathing doesn't give you room to heal, to improve. Self-laothing stifles love for self. Love for self is muy importante. It is the juice of life.

You are created of God. Therefore, any evil thing you say of yourself is an insult to the Creator. You are made of the image of God. God is complete and beautiful and so are you Gace, so are you!Encourage your effort. Be your own cheering force. Truly believe that at any one time you are doing the best that you can with what you have been afforded. Do away with negative self-talk about laziness. Just because things don't work out doesn't mean that your efffort is faulty, it just means life does not resolve on your timetable. So, give time, time.
