We’re often held back by the lies we tell ourselves. The three most common are “I am what I have”, “I am what people say about me”, and “I am what I do”. These lies create a false sense of identity and can lead to anxiety, fear, and self-rejection.
In this quick dip episode, Rachel offers practical strategies to combat feelings of inadequacy and to deal with our fixation on what people say about us. This can help us create a healthier self-perception and better resilience, but it’s not without its challenges.
The lies we tell ourselves are deeply ingrained and can be hard to shake off. The longer we let them dictate our lives, the more damage they can cause. Our mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing are at stake.
But by recognising those lies when they crop up in our thoughts, and taking some simple steps to combat them, we can stop comparing ourselves to others and worrying about what they say, focus on what’s working well in our lives, and remember that we don’t need to earn our rest.
