So Yesterday

I wrote about confidence and what is means to me and how I deal with it.

Well, today is all about Negative self-talk or mean-spirited or critical thoughts in your head that when you make a mistake, it makes sure you don’t forget or question your worth or skills.

A voice that could have been started by someone else telling you that you’re not worthy or smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough. Whatever the reason is, you have carried these thoughts with you, and they have been knocking you down.

Until you start to believe those thoughts and second guess things. And this can be damaging and lead to things like depression, OCD, PTSD and anxiety disorder and so much more.

For me, it was depression and a lot of self-doubt, and when I made mistakes, I couldn’t just let it go so quickly.

So here are some tips I use to slow down or stop my negative self-talk.

1. Odds are facts, and most of the time, can you check them if they’re not true?

2. we all make mistakes because we’re human and it’s not the end of the world. So take a deep breath and try again.

3. turn your negative self-talk into positive, so talk, for example, “This is hard, but I’ll keep trying.”

Everyone deserves a clear mind, and trust me, I’ve checked the facts of my negative thoughts before, and it was all untrue.

So go out into the world and think more positively and believe with all your heart things will get better.

So have a blessed day!
