Well said - I went through a phase where I was extremely self critical, I took a hard look at the origin of this - it was quite enlightening. Most of my thoughts, and self judgment isn't necessarily me… but come from outside authorities I internalized over time. I made a list once of the messages received early on about who I am. Most of this was just carried shame and blame from an unhappy parental unit… or someone who was suffering deeply.
" What is wrong with you, why can't you be like so and so, you are not living up to your potential Smoky ?"
These are messages that I heard growing up and I made them true, carried them with me… (this is just one example and only ime)
Luckily - I am not my thoughts … I don't need to agree with them… what enters my mind. I call their bluff
Feelings are not facts and they will pass.
