"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

I discovered when I believed my thoughts, (negative) thoughts I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer and that this is true for every human being.
BYRON KATIE

"I am a bad person, I deserved to die."

This ugly cruel thought plagued me for years; sneaking into my mind many times each day whenever I made the smallest of mistakes, It could lead to raging self-hatred and self-abusive actions.

I had given those viscous thoughts power by believing they were true.

My therapist asked:

:"Why are you being so mean to yourself? Would you talk that way to a friend?"

No. Of course not. And she taught me to counter this thought when it arose with:

"I am a good person and deserve to live a full and productive life."

At first, I was just parroting empty words. But the more I practiced
them the more they became words I deeply believed. Words that transformed my feelings toward myself to acceptance and love.
Now when the occasional words:

"I am a bad person"

flit through my mind; they are just empty words.

Today I will practice talking to myself in a loving and kind matter.
