How To Tame The Toxic Self Talk Beast! - Gday Gorgeous Podcast Episode 6 With Amanda Jane Clarkson

 

Once I made a personal commitment to empowering my life instead of trying to live with conformity, trying to fit in with everyone ...desperately wanting to be liked and loved for who I was, I began to realize that for things to change first I must change. 

 

This was a hard pill to swallow I admit...but I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I would look in the mirror and really beat up on myself...wasn't pretty enough, wasn't popular enough, wasn’t smart enough, wasn't born into the right family, failed everything at school, didn't fit in for whatever reason, I began to realise it was little wonder my self talk was beyond toxic! 

 

At times it was a wild beast! I would blame everyone else for the way I felt with no real understanding of how to change my thoughts. 

 

Once I began to learn how our minds are conditioned as kids from our parents, guardians, school peers, teachers, religion, government and especially environment and back in the 70's TV...I could see how I was kinda taught to believe and speak and act as others did....monkey see, monkey do situation. 

 

I also discovered and could see that, these same thoughts that I had from early childhood were not exactly helping me live my dreams. In fact, year after year, my life was the same. Same attitude, same types of friends, same experiences and same results...but I wanted more than that...don't you? 

 

For me, I had decided that my future was far too important to leave in the hands of my old ways of thinking and acting. Unless I did something about it, how could I expect a different result? 

 

How was I going to live the dream...for me it was all about FREEDOM. 

 

Being in control of my own life and doing the things I dreamed of since I was a young girl. Of course, over the years my dreams and goals had changed, but not the underlying yearning for FREEDOM to live life on my own terms not somebody else's! 

 

Especially society and conformity; that just was not for me. With the help of my many mentors (and this is what I do in my coaching) the first step is to love and nurture SELF so that you can tame the wild beast that is your toxic self talk ladies!! 

 

Here's a couple of empowering ideas and ways with which I was able to gradually kill off that toxic beast...remembering it was years of conditioning and years of habitual self talk that I was transforming, so my motto is one day at a time, one step at a time.

 

I would look in the mirror and point out the positive aspects about myself, the fact that I had eyes that could see, ears that can hear sounds of nature and all sorts of amazing things, I had hair that I could color and change any time i felt like it, I had hands that could touch, caress, pick up things, I had legs that ran fast when I needed them to, and I thought about how miraculous the body is and how when we go to sleep at night our body continues to work and repair itself. 

 

I know some of these topics are heavy, I know that they might also be hard to take in, but I promise you it’s worth pushing through if you want more from life. If you want more from this amazing gift we’ve been given. 

 

Each week I will share a story of my journey, occasionally I will have a guest who can also share their story, and can’t wait to get to know you better, along the path of this new journey we are going to take together.
