Don't Be a Negative Nellie!

We all make mistakes (just look at the Monday Night Buffalo Bills game against the Jets… ugh, ugh and UGH). I mean, we make mistakes every day and at any time. And when we make these mistakes, we can be awfully hard on ourselves, right? I mean, how many times have you said to yourself (mentally or out loud)… “You’re such an idiot” or, “Can’t believe you did that.” Too many times to count.

With that kind of self-talk who needs negative nellies or critics. We can bully ourselves just fine. And while many of us just pass off the mistake (and our reaction) as a fleeting moment of stupidity, negative talk like that does linger. It affects:

Our mood. Everything now seems harder to do.

Our actions. How we react to the mistake.

Our self-image. Maybe we are actually stupid?

But that’s all happening internally. What happens externally when you talk bad to yourself out loud.

Coworkers may begin to see you as less sure of yourself. Question your leadership. Friends might avoid you more as you dampen a mood. And your kids… well, they may just begin to adopt that negative talk, too. They are — after all — little sponges that soak up all we say and do.

So, how can you take down your inner critic?

Change the intensity of your language. Instead of saying “stupid” use “challenging.”

Don’t exaggerate your mistakes. It’s just one Moment… not the end of the world.

Give your internal bully a nickname. Separate those thoughts from the real you.

Think like a friend. Would your best friend talk to you that way? No? Then don’t talk to yourself that way.

There’s an old saying, “you are what you eat.” Well… you are what you think. So go easy on yourself. Talk positive and turn that inner critic into your own personal champion of positivity.

I’m not going to sit here and post all sorts of wishes, hopes and goals for the new year. I am going to say, though, every single year has its ups and downs no matter who you are. It’s up to you how you handle them and whether you choose to look at the glass half empty or half full. This isn’t meant to be mean or non empathetic, but speaking the truth in saying please look for the good things each year, even if they seem small in comparison. #stopthenegativity https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ypM3-nRfi/?igshid=pugwd5c7n5xa

Friends.... Can we agree to disagree? Can we be kind to one another? Can we stop the division? Can we stop judging one another? Can we listen to opinions and information that may not align with ours? Can we stop the negativity? Please?!?!?! I feel like things are getting out of hand...and they seem to be getting worse🙄 From all the reading and learning I have done over the past several years, I know as humans we have a deep need for connection and community. Perhaps that is why people feel the need to be “on one side vs. the other.” We all may be looking for others to validate how we feel or what we think and believe. Community is so important, but we can’t let it draw a line In the sand. It is unfortunate that we have lost the ability to agree to disagree. Everyone seems to be offended about everything and common sense and critical thinking seem to have taken a long vacation. 🤷🏽‍♀️ This is new territory for everyone. I’m fairly certain no one wants to be in this weird state of the world, but let’s not forget to be kind and understanding- even if you don’t agree with the other person. Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. Everyone is struggling to make sense of things that don’t make sense. Everyone is wrestling with tough decisions for themselves and their families. Let’s leave the judging to Jesus and let people make their own decisions and live their lives. Jesus, we need you now more than ever.❤️🙏🇺🇸 #stopthenegativity #stopjudging #bekind #stopshaming #loveoneanother❤️ #stopthedivision #jesustakethewheel #pray #listen #cometogether #community #grace https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbdSVYg0ra/?igshid=8tslwia2aqbb

I came across this last night and it brought me to tears. My grandmother used to say the same thing to me. During the ramp up to Expo 86’ in Vancouver there was lots of talk of nuclear weapons and Vancouver being a target for Russia. Vancouver was regularly testing their air raid sirens, for a few weeks. I was 12. My parents would tell me the truth, my grandmother who lived right next door, would tell me the sirens were to scare the birds away for The Concorde’s first flight to Vancouver for Expo. I believed her! I clearly remember The Concorde flying over my neighbourhood and of course the air raid sirens went off while it was. My grandmother was always one of those who helped. Even the little things. It’s times like these that a little extra effort makes the difference. What’s difference are you making today? #ditchthediy #makeadifference #doit #dotherightthing #help #spreadthelove #stopthenegativity #yyclove #yycliving #yycnow #hirehardings #yycbusiness #pivot #peoplehelpingpeople #stopthemadness #love #respect #stoptheignorance #stopfakenews #stopthespread #doyourpart (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rjgZIJjMD/?igshid=13wy9rqe957ll
