SYO94 Reframe The Way You Talk About Yourself

This week we’re discussing the why and the how of reframing the way you talk about yourself and your experiences of life.

I’ve got a few things I want you to consider about the way you talk about and to yourself, and to see if you can reframe it in a way that is more beneficial, and less emotionally charged.

From this stance we can recognise that emotions are  simply a part of the human experience. We can allow ourselves to feel them as they arise, and run their course without judging or repressing them, as we so often do.

We also need to be careful what we own when we talk to  or about ourselves. When we own the emotions or an illness or imbalance, we become identified with them, and that is not good for us.

It puts us into victim mode. It brings up reactions of subconscious patterns of behaviour when we're trying to cope with things, and those coping mechanisms we learned as a child are rarely the way we want to resolve our issues as adults!

I share some simple techniques to give us some neutrality, detachment and equanimity, so we can take advantage of the freedom of adulthood, and the ability to change the way we think about things and the responses we have to them.
