The most important voice in your life will be your own. The way you talk to yourself matters. Make sure that you are intentional about how and what you communicate.

Remember that input influences output. What you consume will become your thoughts and your words which will then become your actions.

Surround yourself with people that speak kindly to you, about you, and about themselves.

Social media, tv shows, movies, and music are also input. Guard your mind carefully against anything that creates negative thoughts about yourself.

Knowing how much our inner voice matters, the conversation cannot be left to chance. It is with purposeful effort that you must craft a dialogue filled with affirmations and a growth mindset language.

Notice when you are not speaking to yourself in a positive way. Ask yourself what you would say to a friend if they were in the same position. Use those words to encourage yourself. Most people speak more kindly to others than they do themselves, holding themselves to a different standard. This will not serve you, don’t waste your time.

Speak to yourself with great care. You are in complete control, choose wisely. Use your inner voice to encourage and love yourself well. You are worth it.
