Negative Self Talk
Hello lovely Mindfulness Community ❤️ How are you?
There are times we are not very kind to ourselves and use a lot of negative self talk. If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow this person to be your friend?

Oh wow Ami- that is my 1st response. We do at times beat ourselves up real bad-and it's sad. (I include myself) and yet we treat our friends better. Why is this?
I would not turn away my friend if they treated themselves like badly. More so show them how important they are as a person. Have them feel they are a blessing to be around. Treat them to good foods and activities. All this does affect the body.
I now a days most of the time do these same actions for myself. We all deserve this❤️
@amiablePeace77
This is an interesting question to consider. I think a goal of mine in this situation might be to not rush to ending the friendship. I think mindfulness can come into the picture by, ideally, taking time to consider that there might be something sub-surface that this individual is going through. Maybe having friends is critical in their healing....but friends that can be patient with them.
Ultimately, I think it depends on the who the individual is that is saying these negative things to me.
@amiablePeace77
I would set boundaries first and then if boundary is broken i will proceed to Necessary Endings.
@exquisitePeace7976
Endings can be hard but sometimes they are required.
@amiablePeace77
Yes! indeed
@amiablePeace77
I would talk to my friend calmly and gentle and discuss the issue. Hopefully we can work through the issue .
@exquisitePeace7976
Taking in a calm way about things which need attention is very helpful in my view.
@amiablePeace77
Yes! Thank you!
I can definitely relate to this. I have such a terrible inner voice constantly talking at me.
@Littleladyyy
It must be hard to stay emotionally balanced and accepting yourself with a terrible inner voice. What is something that makes you feel good about yourself?
