Sometimes, just like I did that with Michael, we compare ourselves and we say things about ourselves in moments where we're not supposed to be the shiny star in that one and that one, you're probably more of a five than a. You know what I mean, and that's okay.
Ever caught yourself in a spiral of negative thoughts? The Couch Live's hosts, The Street Certified Dope Doctor Lui Delgado and The Dharma Guy Trinity Phillips, tackle this very issue in their episode 'Self Talk'. They dive into how the way we speak to ourselves shapes our behavior and self-image. Are you lifting yourself up or tearing yourself down? It's a question worth pondering, especially if you're on a recovery journey.
Negative self-talk can be a sneaky saboteur, leading to feelings of inadequacy and even pushing some towards substance use as an escape. But it’s not all doom and gloom. The hosts shed light on how childhood experiences influence our inner dialogue and the perils of constant self-comparison. Yet, there's hope. They share practical tips for fostering positive self-talk. Writing poetry, lyrics, or even jotting down personal thoughts can be a game-changer.
They also emphasize the importance of kindness towards oneself and focusing on life's positives rather than dwelling on the negatives. And remember, professional help is always an option if self-talk alone isn't cutting it. This episode is a treasure trove of advice for anyone looking to silence the stigma around addiction and mental health. Tune in and start your journey towards a healthier self-image and mindset.
