I’m getting gross ‘cause I haven’t been working out. I hate my hair. I’m so terrible. This is self abuse, which you do not deserve and which causes harm. Imagine yourself as a small child… would you ever talk that way to that child? Words have great power. Ask someone you trust to gently point out whenever they hear you put yourself down. If they hear self-criticism in your words, I guarantee you’re doing it a ton more in your own head. Immediately rephrase it into something positive. “Jeez I’m so dumb!” becomes  “I can figure this out.” Over time your brain will rewire, and you’ll mistreat yourself less often. Unfortunately, many of us learned harmful self-talk from our parents. It’s up to us to stop this pattern from crippling both ourselves - and yet another generation.
