I saw a TikTok the other day where a woman said she was going to spend a whole month talking to herself like she talks to her cat. She’d look herself in the mirror and say those same things to herself. She wanted to see how it made her feel and improved her life.
OhmyGod aren’t we pretty today! Biiiiiiig stretch! Was that good? Good treats for you? Aren’t you the bestest thing in my life? Aren’t you? Yes you are! Yes you are!
I’ll admit I laughed at it. But then I thought about it. And she’s right. We give our pets more praise and positive attention every single day than we do ourselves.
And maybe you don’t have to stare at yourself in the mirror and say all those things…but you could start with one compliment a day. I think I’ve mentioned that after every run, I pay myself on the back and say (out loud), good job …we did good…good run.
I’m past wondering what the neighbors think. A few months ago a guy saw me doing that and I laughed and said, I tell myself good job after every run…because nobody else does. So I do!
It doesn’t have to be after an athletic endeavor. It can be anything. But try it. You deserve praise. And compliments. And love and attention. And not just from other people but from yourself.
Stand in your greatness. Be proud of who you are and what you accomplish. Be your best cheerleader.
