Try this!
Is that critical voice in your head messing with your confidence? Give it a reality check—then send it packing.
Let’s dive a little deeper…
Catching yourself in action thinking an unhelpful thought? It can do a serious number on your confidence and self-efficacy. Give it a reality check by asking yourself either question:
Is my thought a fact, or is it based on something I think is true?
Would I say this to a friend who was in the same boat?
After you challenge an unhelpful thought, replace it with a more compassionate one.
Want the confidence to make healthier choices, stay on track, and cope with setbacks? Keep those supportive thoughts on repeat!
