I try to use positive affirmations. I try to remember when someone complements me to accept it and try not to minimize it away. This is a hard one. My positive thinking side battles with my negative thinking side constantly. But, my positive thinking side is not working very well. So, I ended up writing down my positive characteristics. If you can't think of any, ask a friend, family member or T to help you write a list. I read it sometimes before work. I am trying to convince my brain of these things. I have also read that setting reasonable (acheivable) short-term goals and meeting them helps. I don't tend to do this one. I think I only think in the area of longer term goals. I have also read that just taking care of yourself helps. By this, I mean have some fun/take a break now and again. I have been trying to do ten minutes of fun a day. I have to get creative and count sitting outside and eating my lunch as one on some days. I also try to pretend that I am my friend and try to mentally respond to my negative self-talk as a friend or my T would. But, stress in my life has pretty badly knocked my internal T off-line. So, don't think I am doing all of this. I am trying to bring my internal T back into full function. But, I seem to need someone else to do some of the positive thinking for me. I hope to get it back on-line soon. I suspect it may be a while though due to major changes at work.
