One of your powers is your ability to choose your self talk. Kind, encouraging, and loving inner words empower you. When you criticize yourself, when you use inner words that are cruel and debasing, you loose energy, and some of your power with it. It’s a like a leak in a tire – you get deflated.

It’s also in your power to learn new self talk skills and to choose to speak to yourself like a good friend would. Believe me my sweet, if I could change my inner words, you can too. I was the queen of negative self talk. I was all kindness and “you can do it!” to others on the outside, but if you heard the thrashing that went on inside. Ouch. I was giving away all the good powerful words to others.

When you are on your own side, when you stand by yourself with compassion and kindness even when you make mistakes or fail, your power increases because you are not divided against yourself. You are whole and that is a very empowered way to be.

On Wednesday December 9, I am participating in a one day live coaching event called Empowered You. It’s hosted by Cindy Pate, a powerhouse of positive energy from New Zealand. Empowered You features women speakers, authors and coaches from around the world. We’ll be speaking about confidence, abundance and power. This coaching event is free and it’s live. It starts at 9 am PST, and I’ll be on at 12:30 pm PST.

Let’s end the year on a strong note and tap into some of our inner power.
