"I am not worth it."
"I'm a bad parent"
"I'm a bad person."
"I'm too fat."
"I'm lazy."
Do any of these and more sound familiar?
These are all negative self talks, in other words, negative ways we talk about ourselves.
Why does this matter?
Well... negative self talk is kind of like a little friend who sits on our shoulder and constantly talks down to us. When that happens, it is very hard to see the positives of ourselves! And since we focus so much on the negative, it starts to feel like it is true.
I know, I know.
You may be thinking "BUT IT IS!"
And... it isn't.
Here's why.
As human beings, we ALL have good and bad in us. All of us.
And when we focus only on the negatives, it is not a realistic view of ourselves!
It is totally important and okay to look at parts of ourselves that we want to continue to grow!
It is equally important and okay to look at our strengths and what we have grown!
As people, we are not perfect.
And that is actually what makes us so amazing!
Because we can change and grow!
If we were perfect, that means that there would be no change.
No growth.
How boring is that?
So... with all this in mind...
Let's jump into the Therapist Mama Bear's weekly tip!!
