Repeat after me!

Repeat to yourself 9 times each day, the subconscious makes it happen then!

I'm in a pretty "negative" mood today. Could someone help me change my mind? Every piece of advice I could see is immediately turned down by my inner self.

> I am in control of myself

So it is my fault if I'm suffering and making others suffer.

> I can get through this

No, it is too late for me.

> I know it gets better

No, see previous point.

> I am desserving for love

Certainky not: I am not interesting and physically I'm a fat and ugly little man. I always felt like that. The best I can do for humanity is to live hidden in my house.

> I am worthy of a great life

No: I get what I deserve.

> I accept myself

Obviouly not.

> I am strong

Everybody is stronger that me. Even the slightest event can put me down for days or weeks.

> I am loved

Only my wife and child show some attention to me. And I don't know how they can still do that.

Help me change my mind. Please.

Hi there. Have you heard of distorted thoughts? This is a CBT thing. Here's a webpage that lists them:

I hope you get to feeling better soon!

You may not be able to change your mind right now but you can change your perspective. You ARE worthy, you ARE strong, and you ARE in control more than you think. You just don’t “see”it yet. I’m saying this from years of self-defeating attitude towards myself and realizing how important perspective is. Don’t listen to the negative things you are telling yourself. They are lying to you. Better days are ahead! Be well ❤️

I have some affirmations written on my refrigerator white board. Since I have to go through the kitchen to get to the door, I see them every day.

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Very good, saying them to yourself just before you go to sleep and first thing in the morning makes them more affective.

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Isn't it interesting how the subconscious mind can work like that?! Thanks.

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

The subconscious runs the show.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I’m having a problem with my affirmations on my frig. When I wake up, pass the frig and look at them, my first thought is this: “Oh geez, not THAT list again. I can’t possibly say (or think) these things anymore, time to get OUT of my head, not further in!” However, by the end of the day, I can look at the list with an entirely different perspective and truly appreciate them being there. This happens every day but the list stays up! 🙏

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

That's interesting how your perspective changes as the days go on. Maybe it's because you have it in you subconscious all day long while you gather evidence that that affirmation is right as the day goes on? For example, my affirmation as to do with being a worthy person who belongs. Last week I saw that on the way out the door to a Christmas party. I felt a wonderful sense of belonging at that party. Because of that feeling, the affirmation was confirmed in me.

I hear you loud and clear on wanting to get out of your head instead of further in. I've gotten so fed up with being in my head that I've actually started making fun of myself. My favorite line is "can someone let my brain out? It got in again".

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Haha; love your theory on gathering the evidence everyday to accept my affirmations. As long as I’m still “gathering” each day I will accept that as progress. Thank you, I needed that 👍

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You're welcome!

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Try this when you wake put a half smile on your face. while taking 3 slow deep breathes !

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Ok, I’ll see if I can muster up a half-smile and 3 deep breaths. These things are so easy for me later in the day but in the morning I’m just not “feeling” the affirmation talk. I respect it, I know it’s there for me, but it just doesn’t speak to me in the AM. Maybe I’m kind of a slow starter or a bit of a skeptic. As Norw pointed out, maybe I’m gathering evidence to validate the affirmations, which apparently I must be getting because I love them at the end of the day as they really speak to me then. I know, it’s really weird.

That's kind of a cruel and harsh thing to say about gerrerd. At least he makes an effort to inject some positivity in a normally very glum group of postings every day. Those of us who have been here for years appreciate him...

Maybe it’s a circadian rhythm thing. 😏
