#selfcriticism

I know, a big part of it is a fight with your own mind challenges of being too self-critical and doubtful. But really, you will get through that. And once you do, being happy and going for the things you want will be a lot easier. Don't regard yourself a failure for experiencing these, but rather recognize that you are in a stage of learning. — Jerico Silvers #fightWithYourOwnMind #selfCriticism #doubt #beingHappy #leaning #inStageOfLearning #jericoSilvers #repost https://www.instagram.com/p/CWi4QdYLBFy/?utm_medium=tumblr

#theBestWeCan #selfCriticism #basicGoodness #peace #worldPeace #mindfulness #meditation #zenmister #zenwords We tend to have such strong habits of self-criticism, that we forget that we are all doing the best we can. We may suspect that we are kind of good, but build our lives around self improvement. If we truly understand that at a fundamental level we are good, and that goodness is enough, beyond any possibility of improvement, we can stop our destructive habits of constantly second guessing ourselves. With all the energy we save, by not cutting ourselves down, we can create world peace.

#selfDoubt #selfCriticism #beingPresent #breathing #anxiety #courage #rememberYourStrengths #mindfulness #meditation #zenmister #zenwords Self-doubt is something you can work with. When you notice yourself experiencing that doubt remind yourself that you are not as bad as you think. That is the paranoid quality asserting itself. Paranoid is fearing something that is not real. Self-doubt is just as convincing which makes it seem real. Being present and bringing your attention to your breath, taking deep breaths to address your anxiety is something real that you can rely on. Remembering your strengths, like the courage you have to face this anxiety, can help interrupt the spiralling quality of self-doubt and self-criticism.

#negativeThoughts #thoughts #judgment #doNotJudgeYourThoughts #selfCriticism #mindfulness #meditation #zenmister #zenwords Negative thoughts are thoughts about how bad things are. If you entertain negative thoughts, you may think there is something horribly wrong with you. The way to counteract negative thoughts is to pay attention to them. Pay attention to all of your thoughts. When you pay attention to your thinking, you will notice each time you have a negative thought. The trick in counteracting a negative thought is not to judge it. If you are feeling bad because of your habit of coughing up negative thoughts, then the last thing you need to do is start criticizing yourself for your negativity. That just adds more negative thoughts.

In the shadow of a narcissistic mother, overthinking becomes a relentless companion. Our minds, entangled in a web of doubt and self-criticism, analyze every word, every action, endlessly seeking validation and approval. The weight of constant scrutiny burdens our spirits, as we second-guess ourselves, afraid to make mistakes. Overthinking becomes a survival mechanism, but it also becomes a prison. Yet, within us lies the strength to break free. Let us quiet the noise, embrace self-compassion, and reclaim our worth beyond the judgments. Together, we rewrite the narrative, transforming overthinking into empowered self-reflection. 💪💛
