Sometimes it is hard to even remember all the mean things I used to say to myself as easy as breathing.
“I am just not the kind of woman people find attractive”
“I'm too much”
“I am an embarrassment”
“People are shamed of being seen with someone like me”
“If I do enough nice things, everyone will like me”
So much slander.
So much trying to reshape myself for other people's ease.
Can you relate?
I cannot pin-point the precise day I stopped being so mean to myself. But it began to dawn on me the more I noticed how cruel other people were when they spoken about themselves. I began to notice I was not willing to tolerate that for myself any more.
I could tell you how confidence coaching expands your horizons, how your brain begins to coach itself, how you create more time in your life; but really, for me, it has been about how I stop being my own abuser.
When things go wrong, how do I speak to myself?
When things go right, where am I comfortable taking credit?
Where is there more of me, both for myself and for those I love, because I am no longer wasting so much time trying to keep myself small?
This week marks seven years since I first began working with my teacher. These lessons compound every single day.
