May 20, 2025 • Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

This week’s Vitality Vibes is all about rewiring the way you talk to yourself. Because no strategy works if your self-talk is stuck in sabotage mode. Let’s shift the conversation, for good. 🧠🧼

  • Topic of the Week: “Rewriting Your Inner Script”

  • This episode shares a proven 3-step method to flip negative self-talk and speak like someone who’s on your side.

🧠 Mind: Catch the Critic

Name your inner critic. When it shows up, call it out: “Thanks, but not today.”

🌄 Mini Mind Habit: Replace one negative statement each day with a counter-truth. Example: “I’m falling behind” → “I’m moving at my own pace.”

💪 Body: Physiology Affects Psychology

Your posture, breath, and tone send signals to your brain. Stand tall, speak slower, breathe deeper.

🚀 Try This: Say one empowering thing to yourself out loud while looking in a mirror. Then notice how your body reacts.

💫 Soul: You’re Not Your Thoughts

Observe them, question them, redirect them. That’s soul work.

🎨 Soulful Shift: Write a 3-sentence pep talk to your past self. Read it like you mean it.
