Be Kind To Yourself: The Language You Use Is Shaping Your Life

The words you say about yourself, you say so many more times inside your own head. Are they kind ones?Beth has made "I'm terrible with tech" her personal truth for years. She said it so often, to so many people, that it became a narrative everyone believed, including her. And it kept a podcast kit in a box for four years.In this episode she talks about the language we use towards ourselves, how a throwaway joke or a self-deprecating comment becomes a belief, and why the way we speak to ourselves matters more than almost anything else when life gets difficult.She also reads another blog post written in the days before her craniotomy. Not about fear or uncertainty this time, but about kindness. The healthcare assistant with the enormous knockers and the Geordie accent. The 84-year-old woman who hobbled over to hold her hand.
