Stop riddling yourself with negative self-talk and inflicting pain on yourself.

And what for?

Because you believe you should be punished.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

Negative self-talk can have many underlying toxic effects, not only to ourselves but also to the people around us.

It& #39;s usually something that is dressed up to sound grounded, when it is actually mean.

It is essentially the inner dialogue you have with yourself limiting your ability to believe in yourself.

Limitations are a man made construct, they only ever exist if we put them on ourselves.

This self-limiting behaviour destroys any chance we have at implementing positive changes into our lives, because of how deeply rooted it is.

It takes great strength and exertion to overcome this.

You& #39;ll be faced with the consequences of depression and minimal motivation.

It limits your abilities through you behaviours. Here are a few examples:

- Perfectionism

- Limited thinking

- Depression

- Relationship Challenges

And this is how it can overflow to affect the people around you who you love and care about.

If doing it for you isn& #39;t enough (although it should be) find ways of fighting this for the people you love.

Scary to know you must tackle the beast within on your own, I know.

But don& #39;t fear because I am here for you, WE are here for you.

All of the people you interact with are here for you.

Whatever support you need tell us.

Here are a few tips to help:

- Mute the inner-critic. Give it a name and notice when it& #39;s talking.

- Avoid getting trapped in your mind and remember to be in the moment, use your 5 senses.

- Neutralise the negativity when you hear it by giving equal and opposite positivity.

- For some people saying it out loud helps to realise how unreasonable and silly these thoughts are.

You are not and never will be alone.
