Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Whatever you've been saying to yourself today, I want you to picture your best friend saying that exact same thing about themselves. Word for word. Would you let it slide, or would you stop them and say, "Hey, that's not true, and I'm not going to let you talk about my friend that way"? That friend is you. You're allowed to defend yourself the same way you defend them. So please take a breath in, and as you do, imagine yourself standing up for yourself for speaking unkindly. Hold. And as you exhale, thank yourself for showing up kinder and with more love for you. We're gonna do that one more time so it really sinks in. Take a breath in and set that intention. The next time you say something unkind to yourself, you're gonna stand up for yourself. Hold. And as you exhale, thank yourself for showing up kinder and with more love for you. I'm sending you so much love. Please subscribe if this found you at the right moment and take a few seconds to rate, share, or leave a review. Every single one helps this reach someone who needs it. Thank you so much for being here with me today.
