We all have an inner voice that speaks to us constantly. Sometimes it's harsh, critical, and unhelpful. The way we talk to ourselves can have a huge impact on our mental health, happiness, and self-worth. But how can we change our inner voice if it's negative and hurtful? How can we cultivate more self-love and compassion for ourselves?

In this blog post, I'm going to share with you some powerful techniques that will help you transform your inner voice from a bully to a friend. You will learn how to become more aware of your thoughts, how to rephrase them in a more positive or neutral way, how to identify where your inner voice comes from, and how to speak to your inner child with kindness and care. By the end of this post, you will have the tools to create a more loving and supportive relationship with yourself.

Are you breathing correctly? 

Did you know that some of us are reverse breathers?

I want to help you incorporate more intentional focused breathing in your days so you can slowly carve out moments of peace in your day. Moments when you are simple you, checking in with yourself, caring for yourself.

Take a moment and breathe with me.

Self-love is the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life. It is the ability to accept yourself as you are, with your strengths and perceived imperfections. It facilitates the ability to treat yourself with kindness and compassion.

Self-love is not selfish; it is a healthy realisation that you are your responsibility, your main carer, and your companion for life.

But how do you generate self-love?

I use mantras to override my dysfunctional thinking.

I grew up in a dysfunctional home.

The reality is when you grow up in a dysfunctional environment your brain wires dysfunctionally because you learn from the adults around you and if they're dysfunctional your little brain doesn't know any different. It learns for the ones you love, it trust them completely to show them how to live and love.

And so my job as an adult is to rewire the different parts of my brain so that instead of falling into dysfunctional patterns of thinking, behaving and over exaggerated feelings, I am consciously and actively teaching it healthy ways of being and functioning.

I use mantras as a tool to help rewire my brain.
