Why is it that we are so hard on ourselves sometimes?
I think it’s because we accept the negative thought as he truth versus challenging it and getting curious as to why we are thinking this thought about ourselves.
My daughter had a bad gymnastics practice this week and it made her upset and frustrated with herself.
And I was like, “Girl, I’ve been there.” So we talked about it that night and went through why she felt that way and was it actually a bad practice.
I was letting her know that you can try on a different thought when you are feeling frustrated or not good enough in practice the next time.
One way is to add “yet” to the end of a sentence.
- “I can’t land this move.” Versus “I can’t land this move yet.”
The first stops any curiosity and further evaluation of the situation. The latter opens you up to receiving feedback and receiving understanding as to why you haven’t landed this move yet. What can you do the next time you try this move? Maybe position your hands differently. Rotate your body earlier. Push from your shoulders more.
Our brains like to answer questions. When we open ourselves up with adding “yet” to the end of a thought - our brains get to work to create a solution to a problem.
It’s a simple trick, but effective.
The next time you feel down about your performance in someway, get curious as to why you are thinking this.
Why are you talking to yourself this way? Why are you treating yourself like this? Do you like treating yourself like this? If not, how do you want to treat yourself?
