Mel Robbins Quotes

The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.

Each of us carries within himself a collection of instant insults.

The way you talk to yourself sometimes is terrible! I hear myself, and I go, 'I can't believe you're talking to my friend Allison like that!' It's really terrible, the things we say to ourselves.

I definitely get down on myself. I needed to work on my self-talk. The same way you do footwork drills and cardio training, I had to do self-talk training.

I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.

I used to have a real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I would attend.

And I have to work so hard at talking positively to myself. If I don't, it's just real hard to get through the day, and I'll get really down, and just want to cry. My whole body language changes. I get more slumped over.

Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.

When I look back, I don't have regrets. In the moment I am really, really hard on myself, I'm definitely my own worst critic and can be my own worst enemy, and I'm trying very hard not to be that.

People let their own hang-ups become the obstacles between them and personal happiness.

Self-talk, for me, has been the biggest thing in my life. A lot of us have a dialogue that is crap. It's a crappy dialogue. We live in a world right now that is very external. Everything is very on the surface. Superficial. Everything. And what we're telling ourselves is what we see on TV.

Change the conversation you're having in the mirror with yourself... if you hear someone who is saying something that is bringing them down, stop it. Don't be passive. Actually, take action and say, 'I wouldn't speak to my best friend like that.'

New Year's resolutions have always been something to beat myself up with by the second week of January. It seems perverse to set yourself up for failure right at the start of the year.

I sing to myself more than anything. I'm always chastising myself, telling myself to be better, or comforting myself.

Maybe I'm just as bad as my critics who hound me.

When I was young, even though I received so much love, I used to pay attention to people who disliked me. That's why my lyrics were so sharp and dark.

The issue is that if you hold onto the resentment against yourself, you're just going to recreate that destructive pattern in different forms because unconsciously it's still a belief system that limits you.

You must learn to overcome your very natural and appropriate revulsion for your own work.

I have a lot of confidence, but little Self-Esteem. This has given me a tremendous creative spark because it forced me to keep proving myself.

I stopped beating up on myself. I stopped asking myself why I didn't sell this number of records, why I don't have corporate sponsorship. I just don't buy into any of that anymore.

I'm very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways but I get down on myself too!

I promote my own self-hatred.

I think the average person thinks I'm a nut and I deserve whatever happens to me.

We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
