Self Criticism is one of the most common behaviour people engage in and spend a major part of their lives telling themselves that they are “not good enough” or how “stupid ” they have been and keep reinforcing the very behaviour they have been telling themselves off about!
The most interesting thing about this behaviour is that once we look deep inside of this pattern of criticism we realise that the way we were treated when we were very little is usually the way we treat ourselves now.
The adults around kids set patterns of being angry , upset or scared when things don’t go the way they expected and kids learn to apply the same emotions on themselves even when they themselves become adults.
So, the person we are scolding for being silly , not good enough or lazy is a young old child inside us that been listening to all these labels all life and as soon as something similiar happens that voice pops up again to criticize us…
Now, the good news is that once we become aware of that criticizing voice inside our head we can say that voice
Thankyou for sharing your opinion , I CHOOSE TO BE KIND TO MYSELF
…And BE Kind to yourself.. as whatever was done in the past is done and now we have the opportunity to treat ourselves the way we want to be treated.
So , Treat yourself with Acceptance , Kindness and Love ! as that is what that little child wants to reach its highest potential!
Good Luck…
Until Next Time,
Love ,Laugh and BE HAPPY
