Self talk runs constantly in our heads. That endless internal chatter. The harsh commentary that weighs heavy on our conscience.

Understanding our values helps us feel good instead of wretched. We must own who we are and attach positive feelings to it.

This sounds simple but proves difficult in practice. Fear creeps in… Am I getting too big for my boots? Is it ok to be kind to myself?

This fear blinds us to what matters most.

Being kind to ourselves is where character development begins. It’s not optional, it’s essential.

From there, we must believe it and live it.
