E. Self Criticism
by Admin on Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:29 am
I used to be the biggest offender of self-criticism until I learned a very simple trick! Don't do it!!!!!! Can you believe how easy that was? All these years I scolded myself for this or that never knowing how destructive I was being to myself. But you know what, you don't realize you are doing harm when you believe what you are telling yourself to be true. This is where challenging those beliefs comes in handy.
In the next post, I talk about belief systems a bit more but for this post let's talk about self-criticism. Have you stopped criticizing yourself? It is my rule; remember! No criticism. The world is so full of negative talk that it is no wonder we all did it. But now is the time to stop. If we could show love to our children, our husband and parents and friends, then why can't we show the same love and devotion to ourselves? Why on Earth do we not hold ourselves in high esteem the way we do others that we love?
In order to love yourself, you must love it. Loving means not criticizing. Please remember you are not too short, not to tall, not too anything! You are you and acting in a loving way. So when you feel like you have done something wrong or stupid try seeing it as an experience not as a failure. There really is nothing to fail at when you are experiencing life in all of its complexities. Do you think you are perfect? You don't need to be. There is no one on this planet that is perfect no matter how much they may think they are. Being a loving being is as close to it as you can get. Try for that!
What are your thoughts?

Refreshing to finally find a confirmation of my belief that food is not the issue. I have been frustrated with responses I've received from others who want to help who don't know what I'm talking about.
This is fresh air.
