Recently I started a series on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok that I’m calling “Self-Talk Tuesday”. It’s an opportunity to highlight the importance of healthy self-talk.

Often, the things we say to ourselves are rooted in shame and the negative core beliefs we have about ourselves. It’s time to catch ourselves mid-thought, shift gears, and start talking to our hearts in a positive, Holy-Spirit-inspired way.

If you haven’t seen any of the short videos I’ve been posting, I’ll share them here from youtube.

Here’s the introduction video, about 3 minutes long:

Here’s #2… what do we say to ourselves when we are overwhelmed with the pain & suffering of others. About a minute and a half.

Week #3 video: what do we tell ourselves when our imperfections come calling? 1 minute long.

You can catch them going forward on social media every Tuesday!

Blessings,
