Let Your Ugly Out

It’s pretty eye-opening to just see what thoughts are going on in your head. Sometimes when you realize what they are you may feel shocked. It’s important in these times that you don’t try to push them down and “pretend” like you weren’t thinking them because of what someone might think if they knew.

When I’m coaching clients I let them know that there’s nothing they are thinking that would shock me. I understand that thoughts aren’t a part of us. They come and go. We think some pretty crazy things. Seriously! When something ugly comes out, realize you are not the first person to think that thought. It doesn’t mean anything about you. You can figuratively put it on a cloud and let it float away. You don’t need to give it any more time or space if you don’t want to.

Everyone needs a place to “let their ugly out”. It might be through journaling, coaching, counseling, or a trusted friend. But I encourage you to find a place to see what is going on in your mind, and love yourself anyway.
