A PAWTY and a Pep Talk: What My Dog Taught Me About Self-Talk
This week was extra special because my dog, Pepper, celebrated her 1st birthday! 🎉 Losing my cat Felix back in 2021 after 18 wonderful years was heartbreaking. I knew I wanted to get a dog eventually, but it wasn’t until this year that I felt ready. When I went to pick out my doggie, I just knew that SHE was the one! Pepper was a little bossy, confident, and had the biggest smile. Since then, I've become a crazy dog mom. 🐶
Pepper has brought so much joy into my life, filling a void I hadn't realized was so deep. She's taught me and helped me in so many ways. Thanks to her, I now get 10,000 steps in daily without even thinking about it, as we enjoy multiple walks each day. She even helps me break my phone habit by literally knocking it out of my hand! And if I'm stressed, she’ll drop to her back for a belly rub, and suddenly, everything feels better. 💖
We celebrated her birthday with a pool PAWTY, inviting all her friends. It was way cooler than any human birthday party, haha! 🎂
A Lesson from Pepper: Positive Self-Talk
One of the things I was reflecting on recently at Noble Joe was how we could benefit from talking to ourselves the way we talk to our dogs. As a high achiever and occasional perfectionist, I can get caught up in a loop of negative self-talk. Maybe I wake up feeling "fluffier" one day and think, "Yuck, I look crummy today." Or perhaps I make a mistake at work and say, "Why am I so dumb? Why did I do that?"
But would we EVER say something like that to our dogs? Absolutely not! I tell Pepper she's beautiful every day, even if her hair gets a little crazy. If she makes a mistake, I reassure her, "It's okay, you'll do better next time."
So, I invite you this week to talk to yourself differently. Here's how:
1. Awareness: Notice when a negative thought pops up. It's natural; everyone does it.
2. Reframe: Ask yourself, "How would I say this to my dog instead?"
3. Replace: Use the kind words you would use for your pet, even adopting that weird, affectionate voice you use with animals. It really helps!
With time, you'll find yourself walking and talking more confidently. I guarantee it! 🐕✨
Here's to being kinder to ourselves and embracing the joy and wisdom our furry friends bring into our lives.
