Stop hitting yourself

Stop hitting yourselfIt hurtspath42.ninja | @takepath42

Where do you want to live?

Remember that childhood torment, a sibling or school friend catching your hand and making you hit yourself over and over? Sometimes done in jest, sometimes to bully you. It still hurt either way.path42.ninja | @takepath42

Now were adults and we dont do such childish things to other people. Yet we still do it to ourselvesGod you failed at that presentation didnt you

Who the hell is going to hire you

What rubbish are you spouting out nowpath42.ninja | @takepath42

So why do we do it? Because this negative self-talk is not doing you any favours, often its totally unconscious a stream of babbling in our brains but it affects us nevertheless.More importantly, how can we stop it?path42.ninja | @takepath42

Be mindfulBe aware of your thoughts, take a moment to just sit and feel what is running through your head at that given moment. Its amazing what we let through on auto-pilot but everything that is let through affects how we are, to ourselves and to others. Next time you make a mistake or didnt land the client stop and be aware of what your mind is saying to you. And if the message is negative then change it.path42.ninja | @takepath42

I made a huge mistake BUT I know better for next time and all learning is usefulMistakes happen, we are all flawed but perfect humans and we make mistakes. Use them as a learning tool not a destructive one.path42.ninja | @takepath42

I didnt land that client BUT I did my best and perhaps the timing was not right for usYou are not going to land every client, and for myriad reasons. Understand the reason and acknowledge it then move on.path42.ninja | @takepath42

Be positiveAlways look for the positive spin on things, and I dont mean spin in the political not-quite-a-lie-but-nearly kind of way. There are always positives in any situation and you only have to stop, think, and discover them.Make up your mind that you are going to be positive. I did this last year and I am so much more settled and happy, which means I can run my business more effectively and help my clients in more awesome ways.path42.ninja | @takepath42

Take a few moments to consider the ways you are hitting yourself and stop it!
