Is that thought useful?

Hearing someone rattle reasons to justify their feelings of inadequacy, I often stop them and ask, “how is that belief serving you?”

Really - what good does it do? What advantage is there to convincing ourselves we’re just not capable of something? Protection. The ego feels protected, safe, comfortable - temporarily, that is.

In reality, though, our negative self-talk serves not a soul. Not one!

What does serve souls? Us showing up as we were designed: radiating our fullest, truest essence free of self-doubt and insecurity.

Begin the practice of asking yourself, “is this useful?” about each and every belief that passes through your mind.

Try it for one week - a day even! - and let me know how it goes ✨
