#whywait2024 - Internal Messaging We talk to ourselves more than anyone else. Be kind in the words you choose. I love challenge months in our community so much! April of 2023, we were about halfway through the month and I challenged myself to get the resistance bands off the shelf (they had sat, brand new, in the box, on the shelf for a year). It was definitely a new experience for me … tons of grunts and plenty (and I mean plenty) of giggles. Hey, I still giggle to this day! This week, I logged resistance band workout 400 … 400!!! I am so proud of myself! Here’s me, shouting from the mountain top! Wooooohooooo!!!! This week as we talk about internal messaging, I want to share something that was shared in this community and I continue to practice to this day: How we speak to ourselves truly does matter. When we find ourselves having a down moment, flip the script and talk to yourself the same way you would to a friend, family member, co-worker to build them up during a tough time. The question is, “Would I say this to someone I care about?” Pause. Reflect. And, then build yourself up like your 4-yo self in a Batman T-shirt who will conquer the day!
