I learned long ago, that it is very hard for most to receive negative comments from others, but somehow it is easy to accept our own inner negative comments… or is it?
Let us look at that thought.
Let’s start with toxicity. I talk about this a lot. I always tell people including myself btw, to get toxicity out of our lives. Most people do not like having negative people within their circle especially the ones who are constantly negative. Think about that. How many people have you disconnected from because they are just toxic and negative all the time?
Ok now let’s look at toxicity within oneself. How many of you reading this tolerate the negative talk you have with yourself from your own mind? Are you aware of this happening? Come on look at it…. How many times do you tell yourself you did a shitty job at something, or that your response to a situation wasn’t good enough or that you just are not stepping up enough? We are so used to doing this as humans for fear of judgments or not being good enough, that we are often unaware of the impact these thoughts have on our lives.
Now, we have gone over that when someone else is constantly toxic in your world you disconnect from them so that you do not have to be around it right! Well since you cannot disconnect from yourself and your negative thoughts – the solution is to become consciously aware that it happens and when it does you take the time to fill the negative talk with love and peaceful affirmations.
Here is an example:
Negative: I so stupid that I did not do that presentation at work better.
Positive: I did the best I could with that presentation, and I know I can
Do it. I am awesome and can put in even more to ensure the outcome! I got this because I am powerful and full of knowledge to share with my coworkers!
Are you surprised at the amount of self-negativity that you now see has been happening since you started reading this just a very few minutes ago? Once your attention is brought to this negative talk with yourself (just like that of toxicity with others), many people are surprised at first to see all the negativity that’s happens within themselves. But then, once you consciously are aware of your true thoughts you can begin to change them in a nonjudgement way by allowing a healing process and replace negativity self-talk with positivity, Love and peaceful affirmations!
Think about that for another minute. Negative thoughts that you are not aware of making in your head can affect your mood and your daily actions. However, when you are aware of this and you work on changing them day today then and only then can you find the true love and peace you have deep within you!
Try taking a count of every negative or criticizing thoughts you have throughout one day. This will help you become more aware of your patterns of negative thoughts or, well the positive ones too! Remember that your thoughts are not a true representation of you, as you are represented by your actions…
Teach yourself by being consciously aware of your thoughts how to change the mood by adding loving and positive affirmations and then you will start to build a more empowered, productive and happy you!!!
Peace and Happiness!
