A Quick Reminder: Be Kind to Your Brain
We talked about setting realistic goals. Today, let's talk about the most important part of that process: what you say to yourself when things don't go according to plan.
That inner critic can be LOUD, right?
Here’s a little brain science: Every time you think a thought, you strengthen a neural pathway in your brain. Think of it like walking a path in the woods. The more you walk the "I'm not doing enough" path, the wider and easier it becomes to travel. Before you know it, it’s your brain’s automatic default road.
But the good news is, we can build new paths. We can retrain our brains to be kinder to ourselves. It just takes intention and practice.
Here are two quick tips to start building a new, kinder path:
- Acknowledge & Reframe: When the negative thought pops up ("I only did 3 listings today"), don't fight it. Acknowledge it, and then gently reframe it. "I successfully created and listed 3 brand new products today while also managing [dinner/kids/life]. That's a win."
- The "Kindness Cup" Challenge: This is a simple but powerful physical reminder.
You are not a machine. You are a creative human being building a business in the middle of a real life. Be kind to yourself through the process.
