Have you checked your assumptions lately?

By Kerrie Phipps

When you’re having a ‘bad hair day’ and don’t want to go out and face the world, pause and take notice of your thinking.

What assumption are you making? It could be something like “I’m not good enough”, “people won’t accept me” or something else that has you down.

If you’re making that assumption, you can just as easily make a better one! That voice of negativity in your head doesn’t speak truth, so combat it with something more empowering.

Are you being too hard on yourself? What would you say if you were your dearest friend?

Start with smiling – you look SO much better when you smile. You know how much better you feel when you’re greeted with a smile – what if you went out and gave a few smiles away?

I wrote the above on my way home from the gym, where someone had asked me for a short article for their newsletter… I never know where to start with an article, but by the time I had my car on the road heading home, there it was. I think perhaps because I immediately challenged my assumption that I didn’t have time to write anything!

Cheering you on,

Kerrie
