Overcoming perfectionism. Both of these tips will sound or feel counter-intuitive, but I swear they can work. Benig able to engage with your inner critic with kindness (as I spoke about last week), will help you figure out where your criticisms are coming from, and where there's something useful to take from them and when you need to ignore them. Second: do something just for fun. How do you talk to yourself when you don't have the pressure of performing for other people? Once you've got that baseline, you can interrogate it and start to make changes. #perfectionism #OvercomingPerfectionism #PerfectionistProblems #PerfectionismTips #PerfectionismIsAProblem #SelfCareBackPack

I always say that it takes courage to be authentic. Sometimes it means upsetting others when you say what you truly think. Sometimes it means risking judgement. Sometimes it means emotional exposure. Sometimes you might get hurt or feel rejected. But in the end, being authentic means that you're being true to yourself. And when you're true to yourself, you have much more inner peace. #authenticity #valuesmatter #motivationquote #professionaldevelopment

Ever caught yourself mind reading when you are in the heat of anger? It's a common cognitive distortion - we invent motives to explain why others act the way they do, often to our own satisfaction. But here's the kicker – these assumptions are frequently inaccurate, failing to capture the true thoughts and perceptions driving someone else's actions. In short, they are mere assumptions and not picture that is complete. In the realm of anger, this distortion can be a slippery slope. It's like trying to decode a complex jigsaw puzzle using the wrong set of tiles. Recognizing this tendency is the first step to fostering better emotional intelligence. Let's challenge ourselves to seek understanding, opening up channels of communication and embracing empathy. After all, true comprehension requires dialogue, not assumptions. Let's trade mind-reading for a mindful connection! #EmotionalIntelligence #Mindfulness #CommunicationSkills #SelfAwareness

The Influence of Language on Thought: Choose Your Words Mindfully Did you know that our brains don’t differentiate between words like “I can” and “I can’t,” or “I want” and “I don’t want”? Every word we utter or think has a profound impact on our mental landscape. Our brains are powerful and highly receptive to the language we use. Whether we’re affirming our capabilities or dwelling on limitations, our words shape our perceptions and actions. Let’s be intentional about the language we choose, both in our inner dialogue and external communication. Instead of focusing on what we can’t do or don’t want, let’s emphasize what we can achieve and desire. By consciously selecting our words, we can cultivate a more positive mindset and empower ourselves to overcome challenges. Let’s harness the power of language to shape our thoughts and create a reality aligned with our aspirations. Remember:”It’s All Good n Your Hands!” #LanguageMatters #PositiveThinking #MindfulCommunication #SelfEmpowerment #MindsetShift #WordsOfWisdom #PositivePsychology #PersonalGrowth #Empowerment #SelfImprovement

Guard Your Self-Esteem: Words Matter "You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass." - Bruce Lee Bruce Lee's words resonate deeply with me, especially when it comes to how we speak about ourselves. Negative self-talk can be more damaging than we realize, chipping away at our self-esteem and confidence. Here are a few things I've learned to keep in mind: Words Shape Reality: The language we use about ourselves influences how we perceive our abilities and worth. Positive affirmations can transform our mindset. Self-Compassion is Key: Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a friend. It's okay to acknowledge mistakes, but it's crucial to forgive yourself and learn from them. Observe, Don't Absorb: Criticism can be constructive, but not when it comes from a place of negativity. Observe feedback, use it to grow, but don't let it define you. Build a Support System: Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. Their positive energy can reinforce your self-esteem and help you stay grounded. Let's commit to speaking positively about ourselves and to each other. Our words have power—let's use them to build, not break. #SelfEsteem #PositiveThinking #BruceLeeWisdom #PersonalGrowth #MindsetMatters #SelfImprovement #ConfidenceBoost #MentalHealth #PositiveVibes #GrowthMindset #EmotionalIntelligence #WellBeing #EmpowerYourself #InnerStrength #SelfLove #InspirationalQuotes

How can you read the person in front of you? 1. Stop judging - you are a human and you have been raised in a certain way with respective values and ethics, you have had different experiences and your educational as well as your professional experiences have made you who you are. The other person HAS NOT HAD YOUR LIFE. 2. Be an ACTIVE LISTENER - Stop thinking about all the things you have to do. Stop analyzing or overanalyzing what the person is saying. Stop generating your responses and just listen. 3. Be mindful - Look deep within yourself and understand yourself first before you start analyzing others. Ask yourself what and why you are being triggered by things that are being said. RECOGNIZE those triggers. 4. Be empathetic - The person you’re talking to is going through something you know nothing about.. even if they’re the closest person to you. Everyone has hidden skeletons that no one knows about. It could be confidence issues or personal unhealed psychological or emotional traumas. It’s your choice to be the better person and remove all internal biases, perceptions, prejudices, etc. I choose empathy, compassion, mindfulness, and love.
