Stopping Negative Self-Talk

Hey Love,

“Your biography becomes your biology”

Caroline Myss

In the past few weeks I’ve heard many variations of negative self-talk in client sessions. Things like: I guess I’m just blocked from getting what I want, I shouldn’t be this way it's too much for other people and I don’t feel like I’m good enough when I see how much success others are having.

While it saddens me to hear these amazing souls speak this way about themselves, it also deeply resonates. I think most of us have been guilty of having a critical inner voice. It may feel like this is a permanent habit or “just who you are”, but I’m here as proof that change is possible!

In Compassion Training we learned about emotional awareness; how to identify if a thought is beneficial or afflictive. Which is basically asking: Does the story I’m telling myself help me or hurt me. Once you can 1) identify the thought and 2) discern how it affects you, that’s two thirds of the way towards making a change.

The 3rd part is replacing that negative thought, which you can do with a mantra, affirmation, bridge thought or other strategy. This is not about toxic positivity or denying those very real-to-you feelings. It’s about understanding why & when you have them and how to move forward with a more loving, compassionate view of yourself. Remember, there is nothing more crucial to creating your desired reality than your internal thoughts.

In my new Open to Alchemy membership, we will dive deeper into this topic (and so many more!) with tools for how to become more aware of your thoughts, getting to the root of the negativity and how to reprogram your thinking so you become a more powerful manifestor.

The Open to Alchemy membership is an accessible, inspirational place to play, connect and explore who you are and who you want to be. With weekly access via lives and recorded Q&A videos, deep dives into our favorite topics and modalites, behind the scenes access to the Open to Alchemy podcast, a stream of amazing resources and weekly/monthly rituals to keep you accountable and encouraged. (And for one amazing price!)

If you are as excited as I am to *finally* make this your new way of thinking, feeling and being, then sign up here on the waitlist to be the first to know when membership opens.

To owning your inner dialogue,

Lauren
