Self talk
Permalink  

I had a light bulb momement at my alanon meeting today.

When my life had become so unmanageable I had started

with the negative self talk in my car. It bacame a tough thing

to stop i tried and tried, Even after going to alanon.

 

I just realized today i stopped doing that when i gave over

my self will to the care of God and really started to trust him

To take care of me. God also gave me unconditional love and

acceptance.

 

Then all my negative self talk just stopped. 

 

I often cry to songs that make me feel emotions but thats all

fine and good, i am not beating myself up anymore. I am walking

thru my pain and hurt and God has my back.

Thank you both! I do trust my HP and i am still A work
in progress with my feelings and emotions. They still
Can overwhelm me. Last night was a bad night, i also
had Some triggers yesterday.

Thats the beauty i can now spot the uncomfortable
feelings And i know i need to think about them some
more Instead of stuffing them down.

I too am amazed to find the self-berating has stopped. I don't know when exactly it went away but, it did. Yay!
Bad days can't be avoided but isn't it a great feeling when we can find the positive in them, like seeing the opportunity for reflection. Nice job.
Hope your day improves anyway

It was amazing the negative self talk just stopping.
Maybe because i was not riding the marriage crazy
train anymore. My brain was much more settled.

Handing over my will over to God was wonderful
On so many levels but i needed to be ready to
Trust God and feel safe and to be willing to
Accept his love.
