Did you ever think about how your thoughts are responsible for how you feel?

How I make myself feel in any given moment depends on my self-talk.

What is my mindset?

Is it a fixed mindset or a growth mindset?

Change Your Thinking

Mindset (I think) is the newest phrase for self-talk.  

It is even being taught in some schools. Students are learning how to change their mindset from fixed to growth.

Author Louise Hay believes you can heal your life by changing your self-talk.

She asserts that telling yourself positive affirmations is beneficial. Learning to love yourself will heal all aspects of your life, even physical illness.

Self-Love

Self-love is a felt experience.

Self-love, for me, are those moments when I make choices to improve my life.

Choices like how I talk to myself, my mind-set and how I take care of myself.

Reminding myself that I can handle uncomfortable feelings and it will pass, rather than beating myself up over it.

Choosing to cook and eat healthy food rather than processed, junk food.

Going to bed at a time that gives me the sleep I need.

Exercising to feel fit and healthy.

Spending time outdoors, in nature to nurture my soul.

These are authentic self-love moments.

These moments are a conscious choice.

To one day truly like being in my own skin.

There is a warmth in this felt experience.  An inner calm. I am at peace with myself.

Today, I will not worry because self-love is a journey of just-for-me right choices, that nurtures my soul.

S, 🌻️
