Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, fantastic people. Leo Weston, here your friendly neighborhood
guide to rewiring those pesky cravings. Both the literal kind,
like that late night pizza monster calling your name, and
the metaphorical ones. We're talking about those internal voices that
constantly criticize you, put you down, or tell you you're
(00:23):
not good enough. Yeah. I know you've heard it before,
but trust me, this stuff is real and it can
seriously mess with your mojo. Ever, find yourself caught in
a loop of negativity. I messed up again, I'm so clumsy.
Nobody likes me anyway. Sound familiar. That's your inner critic
(00:43):
working overtime, and honestly, friend, it's time we put that
voice on time out. We deserve better than to be
constantly bombarded by our own harsh judgments. Today we're diving
into the power of letting go of negative self talk
and criticism, and I promise you this is gonna feel good.
(01:05):
First things first, understand that negativity isn't just some harmless quirk.
It can seriously impact your mental well being, your confidence,
even your relationships. Ever, notice how that inner critic seems
to thrive when you're already feeling stressed or down. It
feeds off those negative emotions, turning a small slip up
(01:28):
into a colossal disaster in your mind. But here's the
game changer. You have the power to rewrite that narrative.
Think of it like this. You wouldn't tolerate a friend
constantly putting you down, would you? So why are we
so quick to accept this kind of treatment from ourselves.
(01:50):
It's time to treat ourselves with the same kindness and
compassion we offer to our loved ones. Remember, you're worthy
of love, respect, and acceptance just as you are. Now,
how do we actually silence that inner critic. It's not
about magically erasing negative thoughts, because, let's be real, those
(02:11):
things pop up sometimes. It's about changing your relationship with them.
When you catch yourself spiraling into negativity, try these five
power moves. One One, pause and acknowledge. Don't just let
those thoughts roll over you. Take a moment to notice them.
(02:32):
Oh hey, there's that old critic again. Just acknowledging their
presence can help diffuse their power. Two challenge the validity.
Ask yourself is this thought really true? Is it based
on facts or just feelings? Often those negative voices are
fueled by fear and insecurity, not reality. Three. Reframe the narrative.
(02:58):
Instead of dwelling on what's wrong, focus on the positive
aspects of the situation. What can you learn from this experience?
How can you grow stronger? Remember every setback is an
opportunity for learning and growth. Four practice self compassion. Be
kind to yourself. You're human, You make mistakes, and that's okay.
(03:21):
Instead of berating yourself, offer yourself words of encouragement and support,
just like you would a dear friend. Five. Focus on
your values. When negative thoughts creep in, remind yourself of
your core values, what truly matters to you. Living in
(03:42):
alignment with your values can help shift your focus away
from negativity and towards a more fulfilling life. Think about
that time you felt totally defeated. Maybe you bomb a
presentation or messed up a project. I bet that inner
critic went into overdrive. I write you probably replayed every
(04:03):
mistake in your head, convinced you were a complete failure.
Now imagine if, instead of getting caught in that negativity spiral,
you paused, acknowledged those thoughts, and then challenged them. What
if you reframed the situation focusing on what you learned
from the experience and how you could improve next time.
(04:25):
Imagine telling yourself, Okay, this didn't go as planned, but
it's a learning opportunity. I can take these lessons and
do even better next time. That shift in mindset can
make all the difference. All right, let's recap, because I
know those nuggets of wisdom are powerful stuff. First, remember
(04:47):
that negative self talk is not your friend. It's a
liar who wants to keep you small. Second, you have
the power to silence that voice by acknowledging its presence,
challenging its validity, the narrative, practicing self compassion, and staying
true to your values. So go out there, challenge those
(05:08):
negative thoughts and rewrite your story. Remember you are capable, worthy,
and deserving of all the good things life has to offer.
And don't forget to share this episode with someone who
might need a little encouragement, because sometimes just knowing you're
not alone can make all the difference. Until next time,
