Oh glok you are so right. I used to beat myself up all the time. I always said I was my own worst enemy. I was told by a real smart person one time to just look myself in the mirror everyday and tell myself I was a good person and I was worth it. Even if I didn't believe it, it finally did help and didn't feel like such a lie. Getting better is hard, but we sometimes just need to get out of our own way and let it happen.

I really wish I could stop the negative self talk, but I feel like I have to do it. If I don't do it, other people will. I don't want to leave myself vulnerable to people who think it's okay to treat me badly if I make a mistake. For most other people it's different, but for me, the only way to stop them from hurting me is if I don't do anything to deserve it.
Maybe someday I will be able to afford to think positively about myself, but that doesn't seem to happen anytime soon. |

Glok you're so right. I used to be the queen of negative self talk, and still can be at times. I've found CBT and doing thought records to be helpful, along with mindfulness, to help me catch the negative thoughts. I also do regular lists about what I like about myself, which feels a little awkward, but really does help.
Changing negative thinking patterns is so important. splitimage

Hi Glob,
What you say is very true. After changing my self talk, I now have more confidence in myself and my abilities to achieve my goals in life. This is the self talk that I took from Think and Grow Rich that really helped me a lot: I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.  Regards, Edmund |
