Don’t believe everything you think.
– Tim Ferriss
I truly believe that this is a quote that I could just leave hanging there and it’d be enough, but I do want to make a few comments on it. I believe in this wholeheartedly. If you could hear my self talk you’d throw up in your mouth. No human should be talked down to the way I talk to myself, and I’m certain that the case is most likely the same with you.
I’m going to be real raw with you for a second…..
When I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror half of the time I think, ‘You are a fat piece of shit,’ ‘You haven’t made any progress,’ ‘Why do you work so hard? It’s not paying off, ‘You’re a fraud, why would someone listen to you and your advice?’ The list goes on and on.
I know those things not to be true but I still need time to process them, and tell myself they aren’t true. Sometimes I feel like they are, and sometimes I don’t. Many times I need to look into the mirror and say positive things to myself in order to counter act the negative. Every time I look in the mirror I see a pimply faced middle school fat kid getting beat up in the locker room.
We all have hang ups, and we all struggle, but I want you to think about this…
If you wouldn’t say this to your friend to their face or maybe even if you would, don’t say it to yourself. Don’t believe everything you say to yourself. Sometimes you need to take pause and change those patterns.
