Yesterday you did something really brave. You looked at your shadow, you sat with the parts of yourself that felt hardest to face, and you chose forgiveness. That is not small. That is the kind of work that changes everything.

Today we get to take all of that clearing and fill it with something new.

Today is about learning to speak to yourself differently. Because here is the truth. You have probably been your own worst critic for a really long time. We as women are so good at taking care of everyone around us, teaching our kids to be kind, encouraging our friends, showing up for the people we love. But when it comes to the way we talk to ourselves? We can be absolutely brutal.

The good news is that the way you speak to yourself is not fixed. It is a habit. And like any habit it can be changed with awareness, intention, and practice.

That is exactly what today is about.

Start With the Tapping

Before we dive into the journaling practice I want you to start with today's EFT tapping session. This practice is specifically designed to help you shift the deep rooted beliefs you carry about yourself and your body and replace them with genuine love, acceptance, and compassion.

Do the tapping first and then come back here because what we do next is going to take everything that just shifted energetically and anchor it into your real everyday life.

Now it is your turn. Open your journal and write down the negative thoughts that come up most often for you about yourself and your body. Then immediately flip each one and write a positive replacement thought right underneath it.

Some prompts to help you get started:

✧ When I look in the mirror the first thing I tend to think is... and I am choosing to replace that with...

✧ When I make a mistake I usually tell myself... and I am choosing to replace that with...

✧ When I think about my body I often feel... and I am choosing to feel...

✧ The thought about myself I am most ready to let go of is...

Once you have your list I want you to take your most powerful replacement thoughts and add them to your affirmations. Write them on a post it note and put them somewhere you will see them every single day. Your bathroom mirror, your car dashboard, the lock screen of your phone. Somewhere that your eyes land naturally so that every time that old thought tries to creep back in you already have the new one ready and waiting.

You are not your negative thoughts. You never were. You are the woman who is brave enough to challenge them and that makes you more powerful than you know.

You are worthy of it all. Say it like you mean it. 💛

Here is how Flipping the Script works in real life:

Maybe you walk past the mirror and the first thought that comes up is...

Negative thought: "Ugh I hate my stomach. It is so ugly."

Flip the Script: "I am so grateful for this belly. She has carried me through so much. She deserves my love not my criticism."

Or maybe it sounds like...

Negative thought: "Look at my thighs. The cellulite is so disgusting."

Flip the Script: "These legs carry me through every single day. They let me move, dance, walk, and play. They are a gift and I am grateful for them."

Or maybe your inner critic shows up when you make a mistake...

Negative thought: "I am so stupid. How could I have done that again?"

Flip the Script: "I am actually really smart and capable. I made a mistake and that is okay. Everyone does. I love and accept myself completely."

BONUS: Every single time you walk past a mirror today I want you to stop, look yourself in the eyes, and say out loud "I am worthy of it all and I love who I am becoming."

Now Let's Flip the Script

Here is something I want you to really sit with for a moment.

"The mind is everything. What you think you become." - Buddha

What you choose to think about yourself becomes your reality. If you continue to live into the negative thoughts that come up every day you start to believe them wholeheartedly. You believe you are not enough. You believe you do not deserve good things. You believe your body is the enemy.

But when you start to challenge those thoughts? When you look them in the eye and say "no thank you, that is not my truth anymore?" Everything starts to change. You stop seeing yourself through the lens of your inner critic and you start seeing yourself the way the people who truly love you see you.
