The past few weeks I participated in a Depression Recovery Program and one of the exercises was to go 14 days without making a negative comment or thinking a negative thought. I am not talking about things that are "unfounded" but the negative things we tell ourselves or think about ourselves and others.
I still have to make it my fourteen days, because when I do catch myself, I have to start all over. The neat thing about this exercise, is it has called attention to a lot of the negative thinking styles that I have internalized over the years and makes me have to stop and address them.
Didn't know if anyone would want to join me, but I thought I would put it out here. I am starting from day one again, as I did criticize myself for not getting someone "up on time". See I am not the alarm clock, it is their responsibility to get up and I should not have criticized myself. Kind of makes me do a "thinking" reality check and change course when I start to drift.
I'll let you know if I make it the fourteen days. Right now my goal is at least three in a row!:)
