#stop negative self talk

[simplesteve]

I don't know that Bruce Lee actually said this, but the words are true. Negative self talk, internally or externally, damages your spirit and keys you down. Change your internal dialogue and think only positive things and you'll start to see yourself in a more positive way.

The world really is small. So don't sabotage your peace because chaos is familiar.

Murderbot + low self esteem

A defective unit that's just one thought away from killing everyone around you.

Shadow and the idea that he thinks he's ruined himself. Shadow and the idea that he had one shot to be perfect and now he's forever broken. Shadow and the idea that if he could just beat back the stupid emotions in his head, he could be the Ultimate Lifeform everyone needs him to be and fix everything and save everyone- but no. Now he's the sick one. Now he's the vulnerable one. Maria gave up her life for this.

And he blew it.

Constantly catching myself thinking shit like “man I’m so stupid” and then immediately following up with “brain fog. It was brain fog”

something something i wish i was charismatic. like, i wish i had an aura that made people want to know more. i wish i was naturally good at talking to people, making them feel comfortable, telling jokes and making conversation. you know, mingling skills. instead of whatever the heck i have that makes people be like “i should pretend to be their friend.” i would give so much to be able to understand people. instead of seeing patterns where there aren’t any. or whatev :p

today my therapist pointed out that the version of me that she met a year and a half ago would be beating myself up over the current state of my life, and the fact that is not happening is progress. and like yeah, i have started to notice how much less of that i have been doing. but having it pointed out to me by my therapist is like the world turned upside down, that it actually comes across and is noticeable to that extent

Good morning everyone, and happy self love day!! 💖🫶💖 that's right, in my wonderful partner @cherry-bomb-ships valentine's event today is dedicated specifically to self love, so i better see everyone loving themselves as much as they love their f/os 🤨🤨 I don't wanna see ANY self deprication or putting yourself down!

I didn't have anything huge planned for it really, but I did wanna take a moment to appreciate just how far I've come 🥺 when I was shipping aa a teenager, it was...well, it was a bit miserable. I was the most depressed and insecure kid you could imagine.

And I think about how I am now and how much that's changed! I never ever doubt that my f/os would be crazy about me, I'm unapologetic about making my s/is as hot and sexy and interesting as possible. I'm unapologetic about making them mary sues. I'm unapologetic about MYSELF.

Teenage me would never have believed it was possible. And this isn't to say it's bad to be a little insecure, this is to say that you have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain from believing that you're the most perfect person for your f/os and that they love you more than anything else in the world!

Love yourself 💖💖💖 people love you

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (if you want lol) 🩶

Ooof this is tough, and probably why it took me so long to respond lol

1. I like that I don't lose my temper easily, especially at work. There are many times where people are rude or ask stupid questions and I don't lose my temper, I remain polite and professional, and then I bitch about it to my coworkers lol

2. I like how creative I get to be in my life. Obviously my newest obsession is pottery, but at work I get to be creative, when I write I get to be creative. I love being creative and that I allow myself avenues for being creative!

3. I like that this year I've been pushing myself to do more things that I wouldn't be comfortable doing in past years. I tried out skiing (which wasn't for me at ALL, I may or may not have cried while learning lol), I'm the secretary for the NM board for AFSP, and I'm going to be championing mental health in our construction community, and like I said in the previous point, I'm learning pottery!

4. I like how friendly I am. While I'm still a very shy person that doesn't always initiate conversation, I can very easily maintain small talk or ask questions to people once they start talking to me. A friend of mine once said he found that admirable about me and I've treasured that compliment so many years later 😊

5. I like that I work in a field where people get to experience design decisions I made. Sometimes they're small things like championing a color of a railing, but others are bigger like laying out an entire office. My profession gets to shape the way we interact with the built environment and I feel lucky working for a firm that cares about that stuff instead of being in a corporate architecture firm.

several days and 15 thousand words later, i am relieved to report that the suffocating urge to Write Something has been sated and no longer has me in a chokehold
