When I say don’t talk down on yourself I mean never belittle yourself. You know that person that when you say,’You’re pretty’ they follow it up with ‘Really?’

Baby girl we have got to do better. If someone gives you a complimnet, don’t question it. 

Accept it, bask in it and love it.

You have come to far to still be second guessing yourself. We spend so much time waiting, reading and trying to improve ourselevs but very little time actually practicing and taking action.

All the books in the world on confidence won’t do you any good if you just read them and not practice it. You don’t need to read 10 great books, you just need to read one GREAT book and take action immediately.

In the words of Jim Rohn,

‘Strike when the emotion is high.’

While you should neve talk down on yourself or tolerate when anyone else does it. More importantly you don’t let it slip when you are alone.

Oftentimes we hold ourselves to standards that we do not keep once the door is shut which were never standards to begin with. The first person you need to be real with is yourself. You can’t fool you.

Even when those emotions are low and it’s just you late at night don’t give into the thought that you are a loser, even when no one is there because you aren’t doing it for them. And it’s not easy because like I said you can’t fool yourself. You have to mean it and not just say it.

You need to constantly be working on yourself so that when the self doubt begins to set in, you can counter that with where you are now in contrast to where you were a year ago. 

Remember that last year you prayed to be position you are in now so when those low moods try to play tricks with your minds, you stand tall and tell yourself that even if you don’t feel great now that doesn’t undermine who you are.

It might seem like one slip up in the dark, no one’s going to remembers right? But you’re wrong. Your mind will and would be just as quick to remind you of the encounter.

Keep this rule most when it’s just you and thoughts. You are not a failure so you can never entertain thoughts of failing. You might stumble, even crash and burn but you haven’t failed.
