Weekly Message from the Founder of ALL THINGS EQ (Danna Evans):
The motto in school this week is:
I say GOODBYE to my unhelpful self-talk!
Our self-talk is critical because it shapes our beliefs about ourselves. When self-talk is negative, it erodes self-confidence. If you hear your kids bullying themselves with negative self-talk, help them let go of their negativity by telling it GOODBYE! It's a simple tool, but it has powerful results when used.
First, help your kids recognize their negative self-talk. Some examples of negative self-talk are:
- I'm not __________ enough. (insert: smart, athletic, popular.)
- Other people always do better than me.
- I will never be good at __________. (insert: a sport or subject in school.)
Never and always are common words when we use destructive self-talk, and being aware of them can help your child notice when their self-talk is unhelpful.
Second, explain to your child that while most people have negative self-talk from time to time, they do not want to make it a habit. When they recognize that they are speaking poorly about themselves, they can break the pattern by saying GOODBYE to those thoughts. They may have to say GOODBYE more than once, but over time it will get easier, and saying GOODBYE more than once is still better than hanging out with unhelpful self-talk.
"It's not what we say out loud that really determines our lives. It's what we whisper to ourselves that has the most power."
