I also believe it is very important to learn to use our emotions to their fullest…to use the negative self talk and learn from it one needs to get it out of their heads….I usually put mine on paper in my journal – then I can really see it and not let it continue shoveling dirt at me and make it build something new.

Thank you for coming by and leaving a comment – it is very appreciated.

Wow, this is the most detailed post I have ever read on self-talk, with your actual words spelt out all the way through. I admire your honesty and am glad you wrote this.

Betsy’s comment is so true – we talk to ourselves in a way we would never dream of talking to others. We have to learn to be polite to ourselves too. Thanks for sharing this. I know I have to watch my self-talk too.

I need to say that I am getting lots of emails from this post…and the majority are saying they are very happy and relieved to know that lots of people have this negative self talk going on in their heads – feels better not to think of being alone.

After working out these issues in my money class and having another massage….I finally slept for 9 hours straight in my own bed – not in a chair….I feel like I am asking for them to surface so I can look them straight in the eye and clear them out.

I also was pain free enough to work in the garden this weekend and that was very grounding and good for me.

I will look forward to your post Jannie….as always is the case… you are a delight in my day. Thank you

The line that stands out most to me is you being kind to yourself.

I would suggest watching a funny movie you like – induce laughter and keep it going. Just laugh and laugh and laugh, even if it makes you cry eventually it will release you.

I am sorry you were (are) down. Wish I could give you a big REAL hug. I will post something potentially funny – dedicated to YOU tomorrow! (You might even get a small chuckle if you read my response to your comment on my “Why?” post.)

Jannie Funsters last blog post..Why?

Cath,
Sometimes I am really mean to myself…I want to free myself to be more present and not just working off the old stories of my life – as Tolle is want to call them….it is a profoundly life changing exercise and practice – letting go…I have found for myself when I get those nasty messages out of my head into the light of day…say them outloud…they lose all their power…sometimes they make me laugh…but it seems to be the only way I can let them fly free….I try to call them out right away now…so I can let them go more rapidly.

For 60 I want to be at my peak of creativity…no rusty old mean anchors holding me back!

You know what I’ve just thought about this as I was reading? Well, I’m gonna tell you You know how when we want to make a change in our lives, or we personally evolve within ourselves, that some friends or colleagues resist the change we are making because it threatens their reality and the role we play in their lives?

Well I think that is what could be going on with these voices. We are changing right before our very eyes. God knows that on a cellular level we are changing every second whether we want it or not.

I wonder… those negative voices (and I know them VERY well), are acting like those friends and colleagues. You ARE changing and motivated to make improvements, and to understand yourself more. Those other parts of yourself just don’t want to accept that new you. They want you to be the same old Patricia, BUT because they are chattering away, that IS proof that you are not the same old Patrica.

I think you are most compassionate, intelligent, generous and creative. Keep believing in yourself.
