How you talk to yourself every day is important.

How you talk to yourself everyday can either lift you up or tear you down. It is important to treat yourself kindly and be patient with yourself as you continue to grow towards your full potential. It is easy to not be able to see your own value, even the most awesome people I know sometimes talk to about themselves in a demeaning way.
I have been struggling with this lately. I find myself bringing myself down way more often then I would like to. I may come of as confident and a bit egotistical at times, but I actually struggle a ton with self esteem. That cliche that you are your own worst enemy is felt all through me most days. The cover image here is me yesterday....I got my eyebrows done, which always seems to happy up my face a bit, it is the first photo that I have taken of myself lately that I feel beautiful in. There is nothing remarkable about this photo, I am not even sporting a smile, but this is me. Since going full crypto in June I have experienced a bit of weight gain about 15 pounds (luckily I have managed to lose 6 of them again), and lately I have not been sleeping enough. Couple that with the constant stress I experienced all summer, and it made me feel a bit down on myself.
Money, money, money and Work, work, work
Money causes a ton of stress. Now that my financial situation has stabilized a bit I feel much less scatter brained. However, I always know that I am only one issue, one layoff, one market crash away from financial distress to occur again. It is an urban legend around these parts that I am rich this is simply not true.
I mean check out these lambos right?!?!?!
Instead of replacing rusty and trusty little blue, which is actually completely missing the front headlight, and is my daily driver, we are focusing on trying to move. Our 3 bedroom home has been too small for us for years, maybe (with any luck, 6 months from now I will be showing showing you guys my new house. The blockchain has been life changing for me, and has helped me provide for my family, but it has not given me financial freedom....yet....maybe some day.
Since becoming self employed with cryptoeverystuff I work 60+ hours a week.....I don't really even know a real number of hours I work.....but that seems like a pretty realistic estimate. My job is actually several jobs at this point, to the point where it is hard to even describe to anyone what I do for a living.
It seems that I went off on a major tangent there, so back to the focus of this post. I'm going to start reminding myself daily again that I am a super awesome, and I think that you should as well. We limit ourselves when we talk negative to and about ourselves and our abilities. There have been studies that suggest that standing in the superhero pose actually can make you feel and act like one, so maybe try that also....it certainly can't hurt.
Yep, negative self talk is a killer. Something I have progressed with slowly over the years and will likely be a lifelong body of work.
Writing daily gratitudes ironically helped me a lot with positive self talk.
If people take the time to NOT speed read this post, by reading a few sentences and scrolling down to the bottom...
There is a lot here that is truly worth reading. --- and a funny joke embedded in it.
Do yourself a favor and read a post from the top, to the very beginning. I've already left my sincere comment to her elsewhere.
What can I say? KrazyKrista... you deserve a big hug. :)
Q: Why did you say that intelliguy about speed reading?
A: It's a problem on steem. Speed curation without fully reading the post.

Oh Krista you are awesome indeed and pretty! Before reading the post I actually looked at your picture and thought “oh I finally get to see a pic that matches the voice” and my first thought was “she’s pretty!” I think all women suffer from self esteem issues to a certain degree. It’s a reality and I agree we should not put ourselves down.
Girl you rock working that much is definitely stressful. Take some time for yourself away from the computer even if it’s just one hour 😜

An hour rest is to long, more like 20 minutes 😂😂😂
