These voices in our heads help us plan, reflect, encourage, criticise or cajole ourselves. Alternative, yeah they would have been better to use!ĭid nobody test this recipe before they said how wonderful it was and how easy it was? I should have used the other kind of chocolate bar, like one other recipes suggested as an alternative. My party food (little chocolate bar cars) don't even look that good. Why does it take me so long to do anything? Why did I think it was a good idea to make this stuff? Why do I not have any sense about how to cook things? I was making a slice and other fiddly party food ready for a birthday this weekend and the whole time in my head, I was saying to myself: In a way, I'm telling myself I should forgive myself, even for past things.Īnd since nobody says it anymore, after the loss of a loving person who, I felt, loved me no matter what … now I tell myself that I am loveable.įunnily enough, today my inner voice was in overdrive. Then I thought it was a reaction to the end of my 22 years of marriage, that maybe I was telling "someone else" that I loved them, as I used to tell my husband.īut after a while, I recognised the pattern … so now when I hear those words in my mind, or even utter them, I know I am telling myself: "It's OK, it is not that bad, nothing to worry about, don't be ashamed". Please don't laugh! At first, it made me even more ashamed. This happens relatively often, even more than once a day, sometimes for small things. For a number of years now, whenever some "shameful" moment comes to my mind, or when I feel silly or do something silly, have doubt about my abilities, a voice in my head clearly says (often out loud) the words "I love you".
