Self Talk

Daily writing prompt
What are your biggest challenges?
View all responses

The biggest challenge I have is telling myself what is possible. It’s my own attitude about what I can accomplish that either propels me or holds me back. I struggle often with quieting the negative self talk that tells me I’m nobody and can’t achieve my goals. The voices are hard to quiet, but I’ve gotten pretty good at striving for new goals despite them. I mosey along even while the voices tell me what I can’t do. When I meet a goal, it’s funny, the voices don’t apologize for being wrong.

    It’s funny! Those voices will never be happy for us. They want you to fail I reckon. See! I think we have many selves, and they all have different roles. we got to know which one is our cheer leaders and latch on to them for dear life. Toddles!

    Your journey resonates! Overcoming self-doubt is a victory in itself. Keep defying those voices; your achievements speak louder!
