Another change in my thinking that’s been helpful for me :
If I am doing something that doesn’t go as expected, my automatic reaction is to call myself “stupid”
When this happens now - and I catch it - I change it to “silly” to extend myself compassion.
Silly is no big deal after all! 😊😉
Making this change has meant “stupid” is showing up less and less and silly more and more.
I feel better in those moments than I used to feel 🥰

@lifewithtrees Perfect! In. amore general sense, it is worth exploring the reality that our thoughts and feelings and emotions come from the subconscious - we do not consciously create them. So ... we do not always have to heed them. Often we do as they can be forceful. But they are not the mandates they feel like - they are guiding forces.

Good choice! Calling yourself stupid is just silly. 😘
