Do You Bad Mouth You?

Take five minutes to think of the worst things you say to yourself and the effect it has on you.
Examples might be:
‘I have no willpower’.
‘I’m always late – I can’t get anywhere on time’.
‘I always fail interviews’.
‘I am so unattractive’.
Once you’ve identified that critical inner voice try this; for one week silence it. As soon as you hear yourself start carping, stop immediately.
It will do two things:
It will show you just how much time you spend putting yourself down
and
It will show you how much better you can feel when you stop nagging yourself.
Next Step- Replace the moaning and quietly say something good about yourself!

Hi Marilyn, thanks for commenting. It’s so true isn’t it? We say things to ourselves we’d never say to a friend, someone we cared about! Good luck with that extra week. Jane
We are mean to ourselves often without realising it. When we start to talk to ourselves positively then we start to understand the bad things we tell ourselves.
