26. Your Words Weigh More

In this episode, I share a recent interaction with a customer at my local business. Her story helped me create a new life lesson to benefit all of us. This young woman was mentally thrown off course from her health and fitness journey because of a mean internet troll. His words pierced through her confidence and led her down a winding path of self-doubt and sabotage. This lesson is about giving more weight, more value, and creating more space in your head for your own thoughts. That leaves very little room for the judgments, opinions and even criticism from others. We can’t tune out the world, and often we do want advice and suggestions from others. But it’s hard to sift through the good and the bad and not get hurt along the way. This strategy is to give more weight to your own words, so choose wisely.

“I want you to remember at the end of the day, you can listen to anyone you want. You can tune out the voices that don't matter at all, but for the people whose opinions you do value, even then, keep in perspective that your own words weigh more so give yourself good words to choose from.” - Trina

Key Topics:

• Other people’s opinions can sting, but they only have the power you give them.
• Your own words and beliefs about yourself carry far more weight than any outside judgment.
• Even one hurtful comment can derail progress, which is why self-affirmation is essential.
• Choose empowering words like “I am strong, I am growing, I am doing my best” to drown out negativity.
• Turn down the noise of others and turn up your own truth to live with calm confidence and clarity.
