My little peptalks:

[anonymous]

I try saying over and over again to myself:

"I'm energized!"
"I'm psyched!"
"I'm on my way."
"I'm getting there."
"I'm studying."
"I'm working."
"I'm playing."
"I'm doing it."

...and don't forget the most important one:

"I love myself!"

If we say these things to ourselves over and over again, they eventually sink in, right? I tried one of them today, and it worked quite quickly. Try it. Maybe it will work for you too. I'd love to know if it does.

A then we could be a little more specific, if we wanted to, like:

"I'm making supper."
"I'm doing the dishes."
"I'm mowing the lawn."
"I'm weeding the garden."

Just some ideas to get us all moving, you know?

Awesome ideas! I will do it.
I'm doing great!
I am making a recipe I've been wanting to make.
I'm so much better.
I will do these today, and chose more tomorrow.

Indeed!! Redirecting the energies via my thoughts and choice of words makes a h-u-g-e difference in my days. Both towards myself and others.

Been feeling pretty rotten about letting my physical health get back to the point of misery I thought I'd overcome, thanks to my taste bud addictions, and the self-talk hasn't been all that uplifting in my mind space some days.

I tend to forget just how much I've already learned and improved upon while I'm busy still pointing out all of my flaws and ills.

Thanks for the reminder of how I really am my own best friend. Energy flows where our a-tension goes, for sure.

Beep! Beep! Out of my way negative nancy thoughts!! We've got shit to do! lol

I'm so...

I got this idea from a book, actually, so I cannot take credit for it. None the less, I have found that it really does work! Tell your friends. Tell your family and your pets!

"Negative Nancy thoughts." Love it! Got to remember that one.

I am eating healthier three times a day
I am doing the dishes
I am not having my inner critic in my head today
I dusted and waxed two pieces of furniture a little bit done each day will get it all done eventually
I am cutting down the plants in the backyard and making headway.
Progress in building my immune system back up.

Love this so much, thank you

"GO TEAM GO!!!" And the team is me, myself and I!

"GO TEAM GO!!!" And the team is me, myself and I!

Ah yes, a very traditional one. Good thought!

Of course, one can say these kinds of things to oneself silently, if others are around and it would be embarrassing to be talking to oneself in front of them!

 

[Deleted member 12723]

Deleted because it does not apply here.

I don't know, my abusive father used to talk out loud to himself all the time and have whole conversations...

I think these little peptalks need to be short, sweet and to the point. Whole conversations would not move one into action, which is the point here.

I was attempting humor and I apologize.
