(no subject)
I truly am my own worst enemy. I am hard on myself in ways that are truly inconceivable. Rhett and I were having this conversation just last night (which always seems to happen after I've had to spent time with my folks.) I grew up being taught that I was never really good enough. Nothing I did was great. I could always do better. And I should ALWAYS put others before myself. Never ask for too much. Never inconvenience anyone. Ever. Be painfully realistic in what you think you can do. And don't start anything too ambitious because you're probably going to fail. Miserably. Well, I think everyone knows ALL of that is absolute, complete bullshit. However, the old tapes play in my head to this day. I just cannot seem to find the "off" button. For some reason, the incredibly unwise words of my parents just keep repeating.
And this morning, I got a SARK newsletter-ish email in my email box. It contained this link: www.meangirlcleanse.com . It's a free program to help you get rid of your inner mean girl (who usually is only truly mean to herself.) I signed up. Immediately. I'm totally doing this. Even if I can cut my inner critic down to size 50% of the time, it will be worth every minute that I spend on it.
Just wanted to pass it along in case anyone else is feeling a little beat up by your own hand. I can't be the only one.
Side note: I get SARK's newsletter and very rarely get spammy stuff in my email box. So, I'm pretty much certain that giving them your email address will not result in a ridiculous barrage of spamminess. But, I cannot guarantee it.
