Today, I did really good. I was able to become productive! I didn't even notice how time flies fast, and I got to learn something valuable today. I intend to do this every day. I can gain something even though it is small every day.
DAY 3: Pat Myself!
I also realised something today. I did really well that I congratulated myself. I even praised myself, and I even said to myself that I will buy a gift as a token of appreciation to myself if I can excel this for one month. These words, to myself, actually bring positivity and good vibes throughout the day. I am so happy.
Before this, I realised that I always speak ill about myself. Argue within me about something. Always say bad words to myself. Then I noticed that my day will be so dull and I just want to sleep. How what we said to ourselves really affect us in many ways.
I used to listen to this one talk, but I did not remember where or when. It said about in a situation with our friends, when they had problems we intend to have a moment and think the right word to say to them so they will not get hurt. We always tell those positive words to encourage them. Sometimes we just silent and just listen to our friends' problem. We only there for them.
Then, the speaker asked, "Do we do the same to ourselves?"
She said again about we always did that to someone else, but we did not think about it when coming to self-talk. She asked, "How many times we will always say those negative words to ourselves?"
We always said, " I am not good.", "I should give up" or "I am such a loser, this is embarrassing." These words come to us unconsciously.
Why are we so hard with ourselves?
Why we did that to the person that closest to us: ourselves. Why are we making our own heart hurt more with those filthy words? We know that words are hurtful. Why can't we just stay silent for a while and just listen to our own heart? Be there for dear self. Why can't we? Why do we hate ourselves so much?
So the speaker said that we should treat ourselves better. Start with talk only kind words to ourselves. Well, that talk did change my mind. Today I discovered that talk good to ourselves really boost up the confidence and we smile a lot.
We should do that! From now on, I want to be there for her (myself). I wish to pat myself every time I did well. I will say:
"Aida, you did great" while patting my shoulder.
If things didn't work out. I will still pat myself and said:
"You did well Aida! You can do this!"
