Self-Critical is Self-Sabotage
We all have negative self-talk, but how much do you listen to its noise?
Do you give it any weight or bandwidth?
Do you believe it’s true about you?
Most self-sabotaging thoughts are unconsciously internalized, but not authentic or true. The words were spoken or implied during childhood by an adult who was unable to discern their impact.
Regardless of their origin, self-sabotaging thoughts keep you from being who you are. They’re tough to will away, but can be resolved with energy clearing.
Breaking A Pattern Starts with Seeing its Cycle
Understanding that negative self-talk is triggered unconsciously is key to moving beyond its routine.
Inviting your inner observer to notice the tripwire that triggers the explosion of invalidating thoughts, helps you break the cycle.
Once you’ve caught the pattern in action, the next step is to consciously generate loving (and true) thoughts to replace the invalidating ones.
Energy Healing clients learn to identify the source of the thoughts, to support clearing energy with the person, and release the pattern out of their energy field.
The result? Truth emerges. And it’s always more loving and generous than the negative self-talk.
Staying with this practice, you’ll find yourself living with increasing levels of internal harmony, with self-love instead of self-negation.
It’s so powerful and affirming to be able to readily spot the negative self-talk as lies, not truths, and clear them from your field.
Meet Will
‘Will’, came into my practice to work on his negative self-talk and how it impacted his self-esteem. At work or at home, he never felt like he measured up, and it left him feeling unworthy and without value.
As a child, his mother was so busy she rarely gave him praise or attention. He unconsciously interpreted this to mean that he did few things well, that his value was minimal.
Will’s Evolution
Will realized he had no need to demonize his mom for what he didn’t receive.
Rather he understood that as a grown man, he was in charge of his internal dialogue. It was up to him to shift his pattern.
Through our work together, he learned and applied skills to observe the self-talk emerging, replace it with kind, loving thoughts, and to clear the held energy that generated the negative self-talk.
He began to recognize his contributions at work and at home. He started to value himself and claim his worth; he saw the truth of who he is!
Shifting Negative Self-talk Cultivates Truth & Clarity
Ask yourself, does the pattern of self-criticism serve you or might you benefit from updating how you see yourself?
The practice of observing and refining your inner voice, coupled with clearing the held energies that sponsor the negativity and self-criticism creates lasting change and cultivates self-love and self-acceptance.
