Ditch Negative Self-Talk

Our thoughts determine our lives. Negative thoughts about ourselves—be it our hair, skin, stretch marks, failures, or love life disrespect the woman God hand-crafted us to be. We’re his masterpiece, a work of art to be treated with dignity from others and ourselves. Negative self-talk is not humility. It’s self-defeat. It’s a toxic habit that muddies our ability to see ourselves as loved and treasured by God.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been dumped or divorced.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t have kids.

It doesn’t matter if you stink at house cleaning and you feel inadequate as a homemaker.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t cook.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t make very much money.

It doesn’t matter if you feel too fat or too skinny.

It doesn’t matter if you feel like a failure in your work.

Nothing under the sun invites self-talk. It will only destroy your thought life.

We believe what we say about ourselves. Negative self-talk spur lies through our hearts contradicting who Jesus says we are. It pushes hope, truth, and peace to the edges of our minds. The lies separate us from grasping tightly to Christ's love, blessing, and sovereignty. They sail us far from the abundant life of love, grace, and holiness God intended for us.

Your negative self-talk doesn’t affect only you. It stings those around you. For example, if someone compliments you and her compliments don’t align with your negative self-talk, you’ll shoot it down. You won’t accept such admiration. You won’t acknowledge her effort to applaud you. In doing so, you push the blessings of others away.

Today is the day to ditch negative self-talk. In the moments you catch an untruth slip from your lips, boldly proclaim you are a daughter of the King, beloved, and created for good works.
