Feel better about yourself: Be aware of your thoughts

If you catch yourself on a self-deprecating rant, check in with yourself and ask, “Would I say this to _____? ” If the answer is “no, ” then you don’t deserve to be spoken to in that way either. Don’t let these insults pass without defending yourself against your own negative self-talk.

If you commit to having deep personal connections , you can intentionally create those relationships by following this five-step process for changing your brain.

• Gather awareness of how you are feeling.
• Ask yourself “why” questions and reflect on any unconscious tho...

Let go of negative thought patterns and beliefs about yourself. Drill down to the core of those negative thoughts and tell yourself a different story. Think about what you would say to a close friend who said those things about themselves.Don't try to fight negative thoughts, tho...
