Negative Self talk
More info
Sometimes we’re our own harshest critic—thinking things like “I’m stupid,” “I’m lazy,” or “I’m not good enough.” Constant inner criticism can feel never-ending. It affects how you think, feel, and act, and can stop you from being the kind of person and friend you want to be.
Detailed info
Would you ever speak that way to a friend? Think about what you’d say to a friend who was putting themselves down. Now say those same kind, supportive words to yourself — or write them down and read them back to yourself. Treat yourself with the same compassion you offer to others.
