E15: My own worst enemy

Confession: I used to be my own worst enemy with negative self-talk that I wasn’t even aware I was engaging in.  Now that I know, I’m working to becoming my own best friend with self-compassion, self-love, and positive self-talk.  I'll share how gratitude is my superpower (when I practice it consistently), my new favorite gratitude journal, and a trick to turn your inner critic into your compassionate witness.  Included in this episode:*Ray of F'ing Sunshine post-it notes*gratitude is a super power*the 6 Minute Diary*time capsule: a letter to my future self to be read in one year*self-talk: a bully? or your best friend?*the ABCs of self-love*Lane wants to have kids so he can be the dad he never hadSHOW NOTES:Ray of F*cking Sunshine Sticky NotesThe 6 Minute Diaryfutureme.orgMel Robbins on the Jefferson Fisher podcastThe ABCs of Self Love: A Simple Guide to Loving  Yourself, Reclaiming Your Worth, and Changing Your Life By Meldoy GodfredTalk to me!
