You'd think it'd be an obvious choice - to protect ourselves via self-compassion. Yet, we sabotage ourselves with negative patterns of thought far too often.
None of us are exempt from the negative mental chatter, but we can choose whether we are diligent in our efforts to counter it. Each day, we must ask - will we let shame, fear and negativity define our story without opposition, or will we actively replace these forces with healthy conversations?
This intentionality must be a priority. For, as our thoughts weave together to shape our stories, they inform the way we interact in the world around us. When we decide to oppose the pessimism in our own minds, we're better equipped to unleash kindness and hope in the world beyond us.
