Sunday wisdom: 5 things I often tell myself

If you follow me over on Instagram, you know that I have a little series on Sundays called #sundaywisdom. I sometimes post a quote or a personal reflection. It gives me a chance to connect with you and share some inspiration through words and a photo. 

This Sunday, what I'm sharing instead are 5 things I often tell myself for encouragement, whenever I'm in need of a mini pep-talk. 

1. This too shall pass

When something makes me plummet, I try to balance mourning and positivity. It's important to give yourself a little time and space to brood and pout, but know that you can overcome any hurdle, and every hurdle is temporary because we either find a solution or acceptance.

2. Look how far you've come

It's so easy to feel overwhelmed and blinded by how much further we need to go, but it's crucial to take a moment and truly reflect on how we have grown. Practicing that habit plants little seeds of gratitude, pride and confidence. 

3. Breathe

I used to be a good breather, but some things have complicated that simple capacity. I don't breathe enough. It's strange - I often catch myself holding my breath. Since the beginning of this year, I have made it a point to consciously tell myself to straighten my posture and BREATHE - deeply and completely. Nearly each and every time, I've immediately noticed how a deep breath brings a subtle feeling of relief. 

4. Trust yourself - you are good

I actually have this written on a pink post-it in my office. I used to have it in my PhD office and I brought it home when I graduated, because it is an encouraging push that fits any realm of work and life. It seems we have to prove ourselves on a daily basis to others, to communicate the value of our work, to justify our way of seeing and being. Giving others' voices and critiques a prominent place in our head often takes over our own beliefs about our abilities and our worth. Trust in ourselves needs to prevail over any doubt! 

5. Just be you

If someone can't deal with the fact that you are committed to being you, then too bad. You being you is your top priority in life - because it's YOUR life.
