Check myself before I wreck myself - shifting mindset

A cookie of our own dough ✨❤️

Ah the taste of my own advice that I've so generously fed others :)

Been needing a scoop of self coaching and this is what I've come across...

✨What if we fell off the bandwagon? What can we do right now to get back on?

✨What if we don't feel good about how we're spending our time? How are we spending it now? How could we spend our time in ways we love it?

✨What if we feel drained right now? What can we do to energise ourselves?

✨What if we don't feel fulfilled right now? What would the life we want to live feel and look like? What's the one thing we can do right now to move towards that?

✨What do I need to be in control of my own life rather than let shit I have no control over right now get to me?

It's soooooo easy to fall into the trap of perfectionism or the downward spiral that tells the story of..

"Ohhhh nooo... I haven't gone to the gym / eaten well / slept well / kept up with my diary / done my actions / finished or done this thing I said I was going to / [insert in days/weeks/months/ages etc etc... So I screwed up already anyway and what's the point now ".

(aaaand... cue: Guilt trip kicking in)

Hold up, hold up you classic example of blank and white thinking..

When I catch my inner critic (that little nasty voice in your head) trying to trick me into low balling, I have to take a step back and check myself before I wreck myself.

Progress over perfection, baby. Something is better than nothing.

Listen in to your self talk. Is this won't versus can't? ("I can't get my bum to the gym, or I won't get my bum to the gym?" )

Own it. We have a second choice every second of the day.

And we are responsible for our own happiness ✨

What's the story you tell yourself when you feel your inner critic?

Name it. Own it. Choose to shift it, knowing that you can.
