Self-Condemnation

What I’ve learned is that even our thought patterns are habitual. We think a certain way for so long and our brains form neural pathways that keep getting tracked over.

I’ve become aware of how often I condemn myself.  I’ll forget something and I’ll beat myself up over it.  I’ll make a decision then lament it was the wrong one.  I’ll use phrases like “That’s what I get for _____!” Or “What do I know?!”

What I’ve realized is that every time I do this, I’m sending a signal that I’m wrong, can’t trust myself and it eats away at my confidence. 

Now every time I catch myself thinking or saying one of these self-condemning things, I stop and say NOPE!  Then I say a positive affirmation instead and encourage myself.

It’s wild how much it happens but I realize that it is habitual, a subconscious program. And every time I stop it in its tracks, I’m laying down a new pathway for a new automatic program.  

It takes a lot of presence and awareness but I’m grateful for the opportunities to rewrite this old way of being.

What are ways you condemn yourself consciously or unconsciously?  Take a look at how you’re speaking to yourself and about yourself.  Try rewriting it with something more affirmative - it will take you much further.
