@TIKTOKTRAUMADOC shared an amazing technique for battling our negative self talk that truly has made a huge difference in the way I speak to myself. She asks us to try WHAT IFFIRMATIONS instead of affirmations. Instead of saying:
‘I deserve love.’ Ask yourself, ‘what if I deserve love?’
‘I’m beautiful.’ Try ‘What if I believed I was beautiful?’
‘I love my body.’ Try ‘What if I loved my body?‘
When we form our affirmations into questions - our minds open up to the possibilities behind whatever it’s asking. Hearing a question will trigger your brain’s neural pathway to instinctively elaborate in order to react to the question. Hearing a statement presented as fact can often make us want to get defensive, but hearing a question presented as a realistic possibility? That’s where the real magic happens.
