JUDGEY MCJUDGERSON
Ever stare at a picture of yourself and think OMG - why did I post that?
Ever watch yourself giving a presentation and think WTF - why did I wear that? Do my hair like that? Walk like that?
ME TOO! This is 100% normal and…
It's bullshit. Seriously, I call bullshit. On our brains. And imma keep calling BS until I help every last one of us!
INCLUDING MYSELF.
We are so darn critical of ourselves. Can you imagine saying to a child the things we say to ourselves sometimes?
“Hey Kid, that scar on your face looks whack! You should really hide it. Or at least cover it up with makeup for a picture!"
WHAT THE? NO!
We would NEVER ever say that to someone. And yet…this very morning I posted a picture of myself in my Instagram stories and the very first thing I noticed was my scar! Not my cute t-shirt. Not my sexy cleavage. NOPE! I first noticed my scar. Which honestly you probably can't even see.
Here's some homework for you this week. That you didn't ask for. You're welcome. I want you to look at a picture of you or a video of you and list FOUR things you like about it. FOUR! List them like it's your job. And then…do it again.
And THEN…tuck this tool into your pocket and every time your sweet little primitive lizard brain wants to default to some BS ugly talk about YOU, slide into this homework again.
Here's a little example of how this went down for me this morning!
SELF JUDGEMENT DEFAULT BRAIN
1. Look how messy my bathroom looks!
2. I should have smiled! What will my Mom say?
3. That towel looks dirty!
4. I wish my arms were more toned! Uggg.
VERSUS: BUILDING MY self confidence
1. My bathroom is so colorful and fun.
2. This look on my face is so honest / sincere.
3. I love my striped towels
4. I'm in menopause and my arms can feel free to sweat in this shirt. I'm glad I'm allowing myself to be comfortable
I prefer the second round thank you very much! Mrs. Judgey McJudgerson can SIT HERSELF ON DOWN. IN THE BACK ROW.
THE GOOD NEWS IS…
Building Self Confidence simply takes practice. I repeat. IT JUST TAKES PRACTICE! Get started today. I believe in you and I know you can do it!
Peace and love on the daily,
Shannon
