Reject me Phase 2

Our Journey starts within

We have a choice in what we say to ourselves on a daily basis. We can disagree with ourselves if we hear something that could be untrue. The roots of what we think are often forgotten but not the words. Have a look at my danger list below:

• I’ll never finish
• I can’t…
• I’m not good enough
• Do it tomorrow
• Have a drink or a smoke instead
• I just don’t have what it takes
• No point in starting
• Why bother
• I’m not the right person for…

We live in a world which makes no mistake of reminding us we are not good enough unless we buy this or that. If we do buy it we’re suckers and if we don’t we are a loser. We are ugly. We are not going to be rich. We are not attractive. We are not qualified. We are not beautiful. We are not young enough. We are not the favorite. We are not tall enough, or short enough. We are too fat or too skinny. We are light or dark enough, we either need a tan or bleach. We are too slow, or too spotty. Not clever enough. We don’t have what it takes.

These messages very often not only occupy our minds, repeating at random intervals throughout the day as punishment rituals that we say to ourselves but they can also translate into the messages we say to ourselves about those close to us. They can be messages which we use to describe others, our friends, family members, work colleagues, school classmates. The list goes on. It continues to anyone we deem worthy or unworthy depending on our mood. (excerpt from the book ‘it’s never too late to love yourself’)
