  • Why are we so hard on ourselves? Why do so many of us get stuck in self criticism and negative self talk?
    Do we think that if we are hard enough on ourselves for any misstep, failure or imperfection that it will miraculously cause us to have better self esteem and self confidence?
    But the thing is, most of us don’t even realize how dangerous our critical self talk is. In fact, it can make our mental health struggles with anxiety and depression a whole lot worse, not to mention the extra pressure and stress it puts on us to think we need to have it all together all the time.
    To help deal with this one, the advice often given is “be more self-compassionate,” which sounds lovely and nice, but what does it even mean?
    In this video I teach you exactly what you can start doing right away to stop this inner critic in it’s tracks and start feeling happier, less stress and better about yourself… even, and especially, when you are not perfect.

    In the past I used to beat myself up pretty bad. Maybe because of my sanity. My self-esteem, perhaps my self believing. When I read the book of Psalms 139 chapter. I realize perfectly sound perfectly made especially I was perfectly complete. I pursue wellness and therapy and help group and self-help books it helped me a lot. Now I appreciate myself. And I see things in my life different better quality of myself and humble. Thank you for your insights and your couragement.

      Hi Julia ive decided to include or listen to during my Meditation Practice. Not record , but stops me from being hard on myself which is lessening. I hope you are ok. I want to say humor helps. I suggest Weird Al Craigslist ( Doors spoof).or where he does the Dylan spoof. just suggestions on You Tube. 🐵

    • @helenhughes9821
      @helenhughes9821 5 років тому

      Definitely! I’m so hard on myself sometimes, thinking I’m not going anywhere in life and I’m never going to be really good at something. I forget to look at the things I’ve achieved and I’m proud of, and I forget to take care of myself physically and mentally. I’m really enjoying connecting with your videos - each one has been so helpful.

    Love yourself NOW, in the process towards that better you that you strive for.
    Don't let your downfalls and struggles determine your self worth.
    You DO have strengths. You ARE good at things.
    Accept the fact that we both have bad things about ourselves that we need to work on; And don't punish yourself and act like you're a horrible person/no good for me when you do something wrong.

    Hat off to Julia, you don't have to know her to see and hear how much she loves what she does and to do it with such passion, enthusiasm, empathy and understanding for thousands/hundreds of thousands and hopfully millions of people truly says something about her character. She is phenomenal at what she does and its admirable.

    We are all better with giving advice to others and be kind to others then we are to ourselves. We have to stop doing that. Easier said than done but it can be done. I am learning how to do that. Constantly reminding my self to be kinder to myself. Thank you for your videos. They are helpful and educational and uplifting.

    DETECTING PATTERNS is KEY for those of us in transition from past harming patterns. WE
    need to key into the specific phrases that continue to give us an un-easy gut
    reaction. TIP: 1. Make an inventory of these statements. 2. Make it mandatory
    to combat this with WORDS TO YOURSELF that are accurate and kind. 3. Create and
    recite an affirmation each morning, specific to you, detailing you deserve
    happiness. BEST PRACTICES and WISHES to us ALL!

    @redmeat73 5 років тому +1

    My negative inner thoughts were bolstered massively by violent, abusive parents and an all-around negative homelife. I quickly took on board all the insults and as a kid, I'd always talk myself down but I'd never, ever give up. But I cripple myself through repeating old patterns and I'm so sick and tired of beating myself up all the time. But I'm getting better slowly, sometimes.

  • @elizabethmacleod7085

    Thanks for this, Julia. We DO need to watch the way we talk internally to ourselves. It's so easy to get trapped into getting down on ourselves when we don't meet our expectations. This video is super helpful!

  • @LOVE_ALL_AROUND
    @LOVE_ALL_AROUND 3 роки тому

    How timely I am watching this as I have always been told I am too hard on myself and want to change this. I have empathy for others but only look at my mistakes and judge myself. So last night I did in my meditation what you said, talked to myself as a friend AND reminded myself I am not unique, I am not alone....we all are flawed. I ask myself that same question! What will it take for me to accept myself. Historical it has been when I don't have any problems. Thank you Julia!

    Thank you for making this video. I came here after feeling pretty low about myself after a class. I’m always trying to be the best student and I’m in a more challenging class this semester, where other students are also very competitive. It’s a good challenge but I always feel like I should be doing better. That idea is a bit ridiculous because I’m already getting good grades... ugh. I need to stop being an a**hole to myself. 🙈🙈🙈

    I am a person who always has flashbacks of my weird cringey life who always lies, mean, and uses people around me just for my own benefit. And when I think think about those moments I will always say "You're such a weirdo" "Why did I even do that, Im so stupid" "OMG I SAID THAT!?? Heh, that explains why Im labeled as a loser at school" Sometimes I just think of what others could be saying about me and thiught Im just a low degenrate who's never meant to be born. And I just want it to stop-
    Idk if it's just a normal teen thing but I if it's not then I want it to stop right now-
    I dont want to be my own enemy for reaching my success in life

    "Common Humanity", heard that term before, many times, finally at a tipping point.
    We are all more similar than different.
    Humoring this idea with people;
    "Two eyes, two ears, a nose, a mouth, oh yes I remember you well.'
    Actually if I am most likely to remember how a person by how they move, faces not so much.
