Two weeks ago, I really suffered from some big time negative self-talk. I went on a cruise centered around Christian music, and while the cruise was amazing, I really felt like I was the black sheep. My internal voice kept saying that I shouldn't be there, that I was going to corrupt those around me, and that I was simply a lost cause. I was also worried that my co-workers would be happy to not have me around for a few days. And, I noticed that my first day back to work, I was already in a really defensive mood.
But, knowing that this is just my insecurities rearing its ugly head, helps me to cope. For me, somehow simply identifying what I'm doing, can help me to stop this negative self-talk. But, even though these internal discussions with myself make me feel like a bull dog's chew toy, I use it as motivation to continue on my journey of personal growth.
Another Monday, and therefore a fresh new week is here. It's another opportunity to stop making the same old mistakes, and start making new one ones. :)
Have a happy day!
