I’ve been working on this and although I am hyper aware of negative self talk, only recently am I able to affect a change. I did just catch myself though right now while looking for my phone charger. My battery is dying so quickly these days of course because iPhone batteries immediately start failing to hold their charge as soon as your contract is up or the next iPhone comes out. lol. But it went something like this: “I could SWEAR I put my extra wire back in the cabinet” It’s not there of course. To myself: “You are THE most clueless #@$&!! idiot, constantly losing things and not remembering what the hell you did with them! At this rate you’ll be checked into that living assistance facility down the road by 2025. I feel as if I am aging at least several months each day and look it and sound it! So, I caught myself and tried a kinder more comforting approach, but it was hard because it still feels so Uncomfortable. I was so used to insulting and cursing myself out: “it’s ok, I’m so busy it’s hard to keep track of everything and it’s actually ok if my memory sucks”. Mental note to order more wires on amazon so I can have one in every room”.
