Are you on a mission?  Have you just started a new business or developing one because you’re on a mission?  Are you  involved in a pioneering charity like one of my #Sisters, Leonor, CEO at RAFT ?

Talking of missions, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m on a mission.  To empower women.  Women in business,  in careers and women who want to really live their lives to the full.  It chokes me when I see women being put down, let down or being stereotyped and held back in life.  Especially if they do it to themselves.  Hello! Aren’t some women good at that, have you noticed?

Negative internal dialogue is, sadly, common place, but it can and will make all the difference to you if you change it so that you hear more positive messages.    Change how you talk to yourself and really feel the benefits it brings.  It is the one most important thing you can do for you, for your self esteem, self belief, confidence, well being, ….. I think you get the picture –  A happier you.   A more confident you.

Last week I attended the superb inspirational Women’s Unlimited Conference to celebrate International Women’s Day.   As Lara Morgan said in her speech,  “confidence is key”.

Positive self talk is one of the best ways to regain your confidence and change how you feel.  Instantly.

In the spirit of celebrating the Centenary of International Women’s Day,  I invite you to make a promise to yourself and  change how you speak to yourself,  be kinder to yourself.   You wouldn’t keep talking to your best friend like that would you?

Do it for a day and feel what happens.   Do it for a week and see what happens.  To you and your business.  And let me know the results please.

To your happiness ladies, you can do it.  Sounds better than, ‘well I might be able to do it but I probably can’t can I?’ Let’s change that.   Can you?   Yes of course you can!  That’s the spirit,

Be kinder to yourself,  you deserve it!
