Letting the negative self talk go
Yesterday I wrote a post saying how I struggle with saying a lot of negative things to myself and I got a lot of helpful suggestions.
Sometimes challenging my inner bully can be almost impossible, especially in the moment when i'm angry or upset at myself. But there is alternative, recognising that the inner bully is there and giving myself space to recognise it, accept and let it pass.
Have a look at this link where @Kaz-RO explains a bit more of the process.
@Ben-RO suggested that I make a thread so that a few us can work on this together, I know that I find doing things with other people a lot easier.
Hopefully some of you want to work on this too and we'll use this thread to talk about how we're all going with it and post some updates!
Yeah that one was pretty good, I also felt like falling asleep @Creativegirl12 😛 It's interesting to go through feeling sensations at different parts of the body, but hand ones are really uncomfortable for me to focus on which is strange but yeah. Did you notice any sensations that you don't normally notice?
How about you @j95?
Alrighty @Ben-RO
(Wait how is it already past 5:30?... My wheels must have been replaced with tortoises.)
It was okay ish. How was yours?
I found it relaxing, thought I was a bit distracted. I've a little lightheaded and anxious.
Oh hmm @Creativegirl12. Did you feel that way before you started? What effect did breathing in and out slowly and focusing on that for a while have? Did it make things worse or better?
J - did it give you a bit of a breather from all the busy stuff?
@j95 I think I have thought about meat to some level. The ways animals are treated can be cruel.
