I used to think that the posts where you affirm who you are was complete and utter bullshit. Turns out – they do help.
How do they help?
If you are like me – you have words that you say to yourself daily. These words impact how you operate and view yourself in the context of the world. Alot of negative thought will reinforce a bad self image and put you into a negative, or loss frame of mind.
What can be done?
Regularly prune and readjust your conversation with yourself. Prune the exagerations eg. I am worthless becomes I have made a mistake but all people do. What i learn from this mistake will how people view me. See how that second sentence alters your perspective and frame of mind
What am going to do?
Daily – write affirmations for myself. Eg Soy sufficiente.
Keep a record of my conversation – and look to prune, invert or exagerate what I say. This is so I can decide where I sit.
