The fourteen day challenge

[Daisygirl]

I am on Day 7 today. Yay!! This is the farthest I have gotten. I have come really close to starting the mental onslaught the past 2 days. I could feel those "unworthy" feelings start to bubble up, but I have been happy that I didn't start the negative self talk. I recognized where I was going and stopped myself.

I am starting to see the difference between saying "I need to work on _____." and saying "I am such a stupid, lazy, good-for-nothing person because I still haven't fixed ________."

This exercise is really helping me have some control over my self talk. Thanks again, Deb, for sharing this with us!

The nice side effect is that I am starting to feel that I deserve better! It's one thing to KNOW I deserve better, but to actually FEEL it is awesome. Like I said, I am just starting to feel this way. I have moments where I get it. I hope I can hold onto the positive feeling more and more.

Good luck today everyone!! :)

I lost count. I'm sure I did trash myself though, I forgot about the challenge- starting over.

It hasn't been a great day, but it has been a better day than it would have been if I was calling myself names in my self talk.

Day 3... and steady as she goes.

Back to day one. I was very negative on myself yesterday. I would'nt talk to anyone the way I negatively talk to me. Today I seem to be doing alittle better.

Words I need to kick out of my vocabulary. Selfish, lazy, fat, depressed, down on myself and a few more. I was doing so good. I like doing this challenge because it has made me aware of how I talk to myself.

I need to replace the negative with the positve. I'm tired of doing violence to myself through the words I use against myself. I will keep on practicing. With practice things have got to improve. Trudge trudge trudge.

Day 3. I am having a lazy day today. It is raining outside today so it is cozy in the house. My anxiety isn't very bad today. I am doing a trauma diary now. It made me a little tired. I was surprised that there were some good memories. Not alot but a few. Today is a much better day. Yeah!

Failed last night. There's no point in me starting over right now. I'd just fail in two seconds.

Day 1 completed with relative ease..yay me!

Back to day 1 for me. The negative whispers in the back of my mind are insidious. I do better when I have more of the positive going on in my life. I can't believe how hard this is. I really do a number of being hard on myself. I have to keep on practicing.

This is really helping me to hear exactly what I say to myself. I do not talk to others this way. I will keep ontrying.
