I am coming to understand that it's something I do in order to create chaos in my brain so that I don't have to be alone with my true thoughts.

I truly believe we are all perfect in a spiritual sense at our very core. That thought has helped me a lot to let go of the negative voices.<BR/><BR/>The other thing that I do which has helped is to challenge those voices. Just like you did in your blog post but on a thought by thought basis. Truly ask yourself, in the moment, if anyone judges you the way you have just judged yourself. Turn it around and ask if you would judge another the way you just judged yourself. This really helped me learn that I was much too harsh on myself. The habit of challenging my negative thoughts has made a significant difference with practice. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps a little bit. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>TamaraTamara (TC) Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633350990983632539noreply@blogger.com
