Growing up, we may have experienced some type of criticism or rejection from an ignorant, even insensitive family member, causing us to become our worst critiques. We constantly judge ourselves unmercifully because after being put down for so long, we begin to believe it’s true.
No one has control over what we think about ourselves, but us. Breaking a long-term cycle is hard, but not impossible. It takes a firm decision to listen and follow our hearts. To start owning our emotions and rejecting all the negative energy from the past. Only then, we’ll leave the ghosts of the past behind. Loving and accepting yourself as you are, will lead others to honor and respect you more.
Why do we always believe the negative things people say about us?
Your writing is succinct and healing. Thank you.
