Stop telling yourself your past story..Write yourself a new one.
I had a catch up with a friend this weekend. We were discussing the story we tell ourselves of who we are, based on our previous life experiences.
You are not your past story. Just because you used to comfort eat to deal with stress or sadness in the past, does not mean you have to do that now. Just because you have not been confident about your body, does not mean you cannot be confident about it now.
So write yourself a new story of the strong, capable, empowered person you aspire to be. Tell yourself that story on a daily basis, hourly if you need to. Tell yourself how confident you are, tell yourself you are capable of more than you were in the past. Because, guess what? You are no longer that person. People grow and change constantly. If you want to change something about yourself, you’re not going to just wake up and its changed. You have to make it happen.
Words and thoughts are very powerful. So stop telling yourself you can’t or that you will behave a certain way just because you always have.
So start believing in the you you want to be. Start right now and don’t look back .
