Hello everybody 👋 I just want to say that I hope you all are having an awesome day, or at least hanging in there. As for me, I am experiencing something new. I’m starting to catch my negative self talk. I’m such a perfectionist and I am starting to notice that I constantly beat myself up. I don’t treat myself like I would treat others at all. But I’m definitely growing: I’m starting be a little more gentle with myself, and more aware of the self-criticism. The other day I noticed that I told myself “good job” after I did something well and I’m proud of myself for that 🦋

Well done for catching it before it escalates! Half the battle is seeing it, the other half is compassionately unlearning old habits/ thoughts and learning new ways to talk to ourselves.

Some of the best advice I ever heard in regard to how we talk to ourselves, especially after a perceived or actual mistake, is to talk to them like you would a child. It helped me a lot, and now I’m just best friends with myself and can make jokes at our own expense, but not in a self-deprecating way. It’s weird, but we like it
