We can purify ourselves at three levels: *Mind, Behaviour and Speech*. Let’s deep cleanse ourselves at level of *speech* since our speech reflects our mind.
Self criticism is the worst self talk one can ever have. By criticising self, one is pulling oneself down and dishonor to oneself. This is true even when you are critical to others.
Being hard on oneself, becoming personally responsible when bad things happen and blaming yourself, ignoring other outside factors are few ways to self punish.
You have negative thoughts about your personality and undermine your confidence in general. You often compare negatively yourself to others and do not appreciate your own achievements. You have high expectations from your own capabilities and you grow well with self criticism or beating yourself up.
You often say, "I am a failure, I am not good enough, I am stupid, I do not have intelligent brain." You do not focus on the behavior that caused the problem and what can be improved.
Honor yourself and world will honor you. Raise your self esteem in your own eyes by doing things you love to do. Appreciate yourself so that you can appreciate others too. Complement yourself so that you can complement others.
Affirm : I choose to appreciate my self and I choose to honor myself. I choose to be self compassionate.
My healthy self esteem is my soul's love.
With much love and gratitude,
