“The hardest thing you will ever do is trust yourself,” says journalist Barbara Walters. Really? I don’t think so. In my experience, the hardest thing to do is to consistently treat ourselves with the loving care we need to be mentally and physically healthy. But I do acknowledge that trusting ourselves is also an iffy task for many of us. And yet that’s often because we don’t habitually give ourselves the loving care we need to be healthy. How can we trust ourselves if we don’t put in the work necessary to ensure our vitality?

I’ve read much about the “internalized parent” and our tendency to maintain the critiquing/judging/disciplining voice we endured to growing up. Problem is, much of that inner dialogue is negative and damaging to our sense of self and well being. The troubling inner monologue can lead to ongoing self-worth issues and leave us feeling unloveable. There are workshops/therapy that can address this often unconscious pattern. I’ve done a number of such weekend seminars and they’ve provided quite the reprieve and positive steps forward. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
