We would never treat a...You're not nuts at all. We would never treat a loved one or close friend the way we sometimes treat ourselves. Changing it starts with awareness--and that's where you are. I base my philosophy here solely on my personal experience along this road. I'm not in any way, shape or form, a psychologist--or therapist. I only have my experience--and that's where this comes from--<br />This negative self talk holds us in a down position. Changing the inner dialogue takes effort, it takes time--but it's critically important work...Just as important as our food and exercise plan or any other part of our plan--because the inner dialogue supports what we believe. What we believe is built on what we know based on our experiences, what we've done before, what we haven't done and the expectation levels we set--the ones we fell short of in the past...our brain keeps track, every time...and we're usually the ones setting that expectation level! What we believe supports what we dream, what we dream creates visions and our visions become our transformation. If we don't believe we're capable, how can we dream? It's hard to imagine where we're headed if our brain is constantly trying to convince us of its futility. How can we create the visions of our success? How can we get excited about what we're doing each day in support of our visions? <br />It starts with embracing ourselves and making an inventory list of all things positive about who we are and what we do. This is the list that gets very little attention. But please, think about it--what would happen if our focus was on things worth believing about ourselves--instead of the unfair, cruel and downright untrue creations that keep us stuck?<br />I'm rambling here...and could write all night about this topic. <br />The late Dr. Wayne Dyer always said, quite simply, "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change." <br />Again, anonymous--you're not alone and you're not nuts.Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-25259199051688228292016-04-21T04:56:47.636-05:002016-04-21T04:56:47.636-05:00I do the negative talk all the time, it's the ...I do the negative talk all the time, it's the norm for me. Harsh name calling. Could be while I'm driving, looking in the mirror while getting ready for work.Horrible words describing who I guess I think I am. I can't even stop it.I often wonder do other people do this or am I just nuts? I can't remember when it started. I think it's a form of punishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
