RE: Laziness is No Excuse - Altruistic Creative Writing Contest
I like that you are speaking from the heart. We could all do more to quiet the negative self-talk which eats up our productive time with self-doubt and other nonsense. I find this article very encouraging!
Yes, I think negative self-talk is one of the worst things we can do to ourselves. Sometimes, it requires hearing other people saying good things about us to realize that we're not as bad as we think... But often times, those good things aren't said within our hearing. It was an emotive experience for me when people started saying good things about me to my face (or, over the internet, anyway.) Slowly, I've started learning what I mean to others - and it's a lot better than my ex (or other abusers) made me think!
The compliments could reach into deeper onion layers, that’s for sure!
