Do You Bad Mouth You?

Posted by Jane on 6 April, 2010 Email This Post Email This Post - Print This Post Print This Post

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!

So true – I reckon if I follow your rule I could probably earn myself an extra week a month!
Thank you.

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
