A little lost
Confident
I am struggling with trying to counteract what I've been told are 'negative scripts that I've been conditioned to believe'
Someone told me that I should look in a mirror and tell myself daily positive things that are the direct opposite to these negative 'beliefs' that are so ingrained.
I struggle with every aspect of doing this tbh. Looking myself in the eyes (in a mirror) is very difficult anyway. Self-praise is something that really doesn't sit well with me and feels just plain wrong, possibly a result of what I've been told was 'conditioning'. I'm not very good with the jargon so please excuse me if I use incorrect terms.
I have tried just telling myself the affirmations even without the mirror....but I just feel stupid doing it.
I am persevering with it even though it just feels like a load of hogwash...I mean I could tell myself the sky is purple, but it wouldn't make it true or end up getting me to believe it.
Does this actually ever work for anyone please? I have no idea how to move forward with this at all.
