We wake up and tell ourselves we aren’t good enough. We work late and tell ourselves we don’t deserve a break. We make a mistake and call ourselves stupid.
The next time you hear that cruel voice in your head, don’t argue with it. Simply say: “I hear you, but I don’t have to believe you.”
You didn’t become your worst enemy overnight, and you won’t become your best friend overnight either. But you can start a ceasefire today.
