How Would You Talk To Your 10 Year Old Self

My daughters are 8 & 10, and they are the most optimistic people I know! They know they are smart, beautiful young beings and they don't wait for validation to speak it to themselves or others.

It started to make me wonder when as adults do we stop speaking to ourselves with kindness?

I often have to stop and think about the self-destructive things I say about myself in front of my girls. I don't want them to think it's normal to talk negatively about yourself, and I guess that is how it begins. If we don't see self-love being exhibited, then that same behavior could be unconsciously taught to us by habit.

My 10 year old self wouldn't be able to fathom or understand my 30 year old self and the critical things I say or think. Today that changes.

Affirmation: In the mirror I will speak kindness, and in turn it will mirror me.
