Practice positive self-talk to improve self-perception and well-being: Repeating positive affirmations like 'I love myself' can help counteract negative self-talk, promote self-acceptance, and improve overall well-being.
Checking your self-talk is a crucial aspect of maintaining positivity. Self-talk refers to the inner dialogue we have with ourselves, and it can greatly impact our self-perception and overall well-being. Lizzo, during her inspiring performance at the Glastonbury Festival, encouraged everyone to practice self-love and positive affirmations by looking in the mirror and telling themselves they are beautiful and capable. This simple yet powerful exercise can help counteract negative self-talk and promote self-acceptance. According to Barry MacDonough's book, "The Dare Response," repeating "I love myself" to oneself in quiet moments can be an effective way to cultivate self-love and self-compassion. By focusing on positive self-talk, we can not only improve our own lives but also contribute to making the world a better place.
