There are days that I cannot stop myself from speaking badly about myself. I will dump some of the rudest things that I say to myself to erase them from my mind. Please note that I do not want anyone using these horrible statements.
• Your goals are not obtainable
• You are lazy
• No one sees value in you
• You just sleep your life away
• You are not smart
• You are wasting your time
• You cannot keep friends
• You are a nobody
• How did you make it this far
• It would help if you were further along
• You are a setback
• You have no idea of what you are doing
• Just stop while you are ahead
• It won’t work
Here’s how I fight back:
• It will work out for you
• The setback provides insight
• You are allowed to take breaks
• You are right where you need to be
• Keep going even if it takes you 100 attempts
• You deserve the good that happens to you
• You will help others succeed
• You are valuable
• You have all the time that you need to get it done
• Each day you grow smarter
I am not saying that each day I can come up with a positive thought, but I make it a point to know that I will not always have these bad days. I hope that this helps anyone who has ever told themselves that they are not good enough. You are doing great.
