Music is a great motivator for me. Sometimes certain lyrics will hit a bell. A song called Miss you by Missio has a lyric in there that says “I see you the way I hope you see yourself”. Do I see myself the way others see me?
I receive praise and compliments all the time. I appreciate them but don’t really take them to heart. Why? I have this yacking monkey in my head that likes to say negative things about how I look or disses me for not being better at this or that. I am practicing the art of telling that monkey to eat shit and die. That negativity is the reason why I can’t take praise to heart! It counteracts the positive.
Practice makes perfect right? If you suffer from this too, you can practice telling the negativity to kiss off. Your head will thank you.
