What anxiety feels and looks like

Source: BelievePerform

We all have biases about what girls and women should and should not be and if we don't recognize that and work to change those beliefs, we subtly or overtly, continue to limit the girls and women around us, and even ourselves.

Remember, if your thoughts and actions aren't moving the idea of equality forward, they are holding women back.

Asking yourself what you need to hear today is an easy way to improve your self-talk and try out self-compassion.

Maybe you wish someone would tell you that you matter, that you are beautiful, that it will be OK, that you're not the only one who feels this way, that it won't always feel so lonely, or that they see how hard you are trying.

You don't need to wait for someone to say these things to you, you can tell yourself right now. There is power in asking yourself what you need to hear, acknowledging that need, and then fulfilling it, all on your own.

It is both comforting and powerful to give yourself this gift. You can say the words quietly in your head or you can shout them out loud, whatever feels right to you.

It feels really good when you have others to support and comfort you, but it also a wonderful feeling when you can give comfort and support to yourself.

In case you need to hear this today❤️
