Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?
Well, I have been trying to let go of the negative self-talk that goes on inside my head. It isn’t an easy thing to do, those thoughts come along so easily and sometimes so frequently it’s hard to catch them. Being more conscious of them is incredibly important. Also having a group of people to make you more aware of them, can help a lot too.
The problem with negative self-talk is that when someone else says something like, “you’re not good enough” you can say, “screw you jack wagon, I am too!”
But when you say it to yourself… that means you believe it. That does far more damage than some jerk who doesn’t even know you.
I think for 2011 we should all let go of the negative self-talk. It does nothing but harm us.
You are so right, PA! That negative loop just wears you down. You know I’ll help in any way I can.
My plan is to stop living in the future, where I always predict nothing will work out so why even try. Worry is my enemy and I need to stamp it out.
