Love yourself, whatever the inner voice tells you
It is amazing how often I hear people talk bad about themselves. Either when I eavesdrop - accidentally or purposely -, when I talk to people about something, or when I communicate with people via the net, IM, on the phone or SMS.
Amazing.
There are statements like, I am not smart, I am too stupid to do this, what can I do, I was always clumsy - blablabla.
I think I wrote something similar earlier.
I just want to say - stop talking bullshit. There is always something positive about you! There is always something that you can do.
Shut the voice in your mind up!It is telling you that you cannot do this, and cannot do that! It has a function, for sure, it will protect you. But too much is too much. Train it to appreciate what you are doing. Give yourself a pad on the shoulder. Don't say - ah, this was nothing - when people point out to you, that you did a great job.
This voice is with you for all your life - 24/7 or even longer. It is your friend, and should be your best friend, not just nagging.
