Is Your Inner Voice a Mean Girl? How to Clean Up the Mental Mess
If you spoke to your best friend the way you speak to yourself… would you still be friends? 😬
It’s a confronting question—but an important one.
Because most of us are walking around with an inner voice that’s not just unkind… it’s downright brutal. And the wild part is, we don’t even realize it.
That voice? It’s shaping your confidence, your choices, your relationships—your whole life.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, your self-talk is running the show behind the scenes.
But here’s the good news:
You can change it.
You can start noticing the things you say to yourself on repeat.
You can start interrupting the thoughts that tear you down.
And you can start choosing new ones—thoughts that support, uplift, and empower you.
Here’s what helps:
✨ Becoming aware of how often your inner dialogue leans negative
✨ Making small, intentional swaps in the words you use with yourself
✨ Learning the difference between supportive self-talk and tough-love talk—and when to use each
✨ Trying a simple affirmation challenge to break the pattern and build a new one
This could be the beginning of a powerful new chapter.
One where your inner voice finally becomes your greatest ally.
You've got this. 💛
Your Dare for the Week ❤️
What’s one word that best describes you? Now add the words I AM in front of it and share that affirmation with me!
