stop putting myself down

Doing much better! I taped positive affirmations and put them on my iPod and I listen to them whenever I walk, wash the dishes, wait for the bus, lie on the beach etc. Helps a LOT!!! So worth doing!

I still do this sometimes… mostly around friends. But I don’t do so for absolutely no reason any more. It’s pretty much done! I now have self-esteem!

Yesterday I felt really good about myself. I couldn’t stop smiling. And I don’t know why. Just… life seems to be going so well right now! And I want this to continue! Yay.

If I want other people to appreciate me, I should stop being mean about myself. It’s not a way of making myself feel good, and I’m sure it puts others in an awkward situation. It might even scare people off. So it’s time to stop saying bad things about myself and stop being so absorbed in my own pity.

While I’m here, I should stop burdening people with my problems.

Oh yea i do this alot and i need a change, i just got to tell myself im not always the one to blame, its not always my fault. It seemed like every time something went wrong, i would just beat myself up about it. And i was really my own bully, i would curse myself at any old thang. But all this has got to stop, i now have the best thang that has ever came into my life and she is drifting because of my way i talk about myself, she will sit there and try and tell me different but i never listened or wanted to. All that is goin to change, starting now.

yeah, i do this wayyyy too often. in fact, i think this is the root of my problem…

I grew up getting picked on which triggered my putting myself down. People used to say negative things and one day I started to accept it and think I was a nobody. I started doing drugs to cover my problems and try to feel “normal” again but it didnt work. To this day I have mood swings where some days Ill feel very confident and other days Ill be right back where I started feeling like shit. Does anyone have any advice, I really cant fix this problem on my own…

I honestly feel that I have stopped putting myself down. I feel so much better about myself. I honestly don’t think that i’ve said one mean or bad thing about myself in two weeks! I think I’ve finally stopped talking down on myself.

Today is the first day that i will try to stop putting myself down. I tend to do it too much. Either I’ll put myself down by saying im ugly (yet in my heart i know im really good looking) but i still say it. I try not to but it still comes out. There’s more but i’ll just start workin on it.

I just dedcided that i was a good person. I know I am so i don’t need anyone to tell me so. I know now that everything isn’t always my fault. It’s okay. I feel a whole lot better these days.
