Episode notes

Hello lovely, thanks for listening!

Welcome to the Summer of Self-love! 🌞💞

A friend of mine named Adrienne gave me this great quote which is “second guessing yourself is self-sabotage”. 😖

We were having dinner or lunch and I started to say something along the lines of “I shouldn’t have second guessed myself!” and she says to me “second guessing yourself is self-sabotage” and it was an ‘ah-ha’ moment for me. 😲

It’s really true.

When I’m at work for example and someone asks me a question…almost every time I’ll know the correct answer but more often than not I’ll second guess myself and proceed to ask a colleague which will have the exact same answer almost word for word that I was gonna say.

So frustrating.

My colleague looks like a genius and I look like an idiot. It feels like that anyway. 😖

In this Summer of self-love let’s not second guess ourselves if we know in our gut what to do or say already.

Let’s listen to our inner child/our instincts/our gut and follow that instead.

I think it was on the Oprah show back when it was on regular television (back in the day) where she said, “if you keep ignoring that voice trying to guide you, eventually you won’t hear it or it will get more and more quiet until it goes away”.

I talk more about this on my newsletter or my ‘love letters’ 💌 as I like to call them). 😉
