Be Your BEST

Wellness newsletter of Robyn Stitt


What is the Best?
You don’t have to be THE best, just YOUR best.
Think about this for a minute- only one person can be THE best- best speller in the class, best swimmer at the Olympics, but nothing is stopping you from wanting to be and then being YOUR best.
Or is it?

That little voice inside your head can sabotage your dreams by saying you’re dumb, or hopeless, or no good. Saying things like, you don’t deserve to be happy, fit, successful or whatever can be extremely harmful to us!
By re-recording this internal dialogue, great changes can happen.

Think positive and positive things are more likely to happen, think negatively and negative things are more likely to happen. And acknowledge what you have.

It’s been said before, but it really is true.

Let me share a story with you….

There was a man who, despite earning good money, always seemed to live from week to week, never getting ahead or feeling comfortable financially.
He was fortunate enough to come into an unexpected $500 windfall. Instead of thanking his luck, he commented that,’ it’s not that much, I’ll still be broke.’
The very next day, his car broke down and the cost to fix it was, yep, you guessed it, $500! He didn’t get to enjoy a single dollar of it.
If only he had his little voice saying,’ Thank you for every extra cent! I will soon have enough money.’ His situation might have been different.

Another example of this happened to a very good friend of mine just a few weeks ago…

She had the very unenviable situation of her husband dying suddenly leaving her with a toddler and small baby.
Now, it would be quite acceptable for her milk to dry up in such stressful circumstances, and she heard herself saying, “Oh dear, my milk is drying up! I won’t have enough milk.” And her milk was drying up- FAST!
She had the wisdom to turn this thought around to, “I have enough milk, I can feed my baby.” I have enough and I can make more.” She is happily feeding her baby who is in turn gaining weight and sleeping well.

What else can this ‘internal dialogue’ help with?
I would like you to think about all the negative statements we say to ourselves every day. Most of you probably even start before you get up in the morning. And most of the time we don’t even realise we are doing it, we have done it for so long.
‘It’s too hot/ cold/ wet, it’s going to be such a bad day today’
‘Oh you stupid idiot, you stuffed that up again, didn’t you, just like always’
‘Go on, one more chocolate biscuit won’t hurt’
Would you be friends with someone who spoke constantly like that to you?
What if we changed the way we spoke to ourselves?

So, how do we do this?
Well, on your own it’s not easy. It is a bad habit, just like smoking or biting your nails that we need to re-train.
Add to this that you may never have heard nice things about yourself and it can seem impossible. You may feel you don’t deserve nice things – well guess what, you do!
That’s where a suitably trained therapist can assist you.
You will need to do some work too, but with gentle guidance, anything is possible.
