It's very much a sharp "NOPE. NOPE. THAT RHOUGHT ENDS THERE. THROWING IT OUT." And some positive self talk (maybe try some affirmations, even if you think it's silly). Talk to yourself nicely, as you would to a friend you're hyping up, or a plant you are watering to grow. These practices take time to cultivate and can be hard sometimes. But you can do it!

The positive self talk was the hardest part for me. For years I could not mentally be kind and supportive to myself, I thought the harsh "truth" is what I needed. It took so long to allow myself to be supportive and it felt really dumb in the start, but now I have a pretty good balance of firm and supportive self talk and it's amazing how much it helps.

Oh yeah. That's still a battle I'm fighting/lesson I'm learning. It's only some moments when I'm harsh or about to be mean to someone when I realize that's how I treat myself and I really shouldn't. I shouldn't find it okay to mistreat myself, especially if I don't find it acceptable to mistreat others. I've been fortunate enough to get help, and it take TIME. Like I'm still not even there yet lol. But hearing things like what you're saying remind me it's not an overnight change. I should start that positive self talk again lol. As silly/unbelievable it feels at first.

Good luck to the OP and question anon! And you too, nonnie!

The negative talk is so hard to stop/lessen!!! I redirect mean thoughts by being like, "Hey, it's OK if you feel stupid, but you're a dummy head learning and deserving of kindness. So give yourself a hug and have a good day!"
Telling myself in an aggressive voice (often it's Jane Lynch as Sergeant Calhoun I hear in my head) can do wonders to shake off some of that negative thought. But the kind, soothing self-motivation voice works too (Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts tend to be that voice in my head; those voices appear in my head without much forethought, they appear and if I like, I go with it).
