My belittling negative self-talk has been around for many years now, consistently eroding my self-esteem. It will take time and consistent effort then to change it.
This blog will also be my portal to learning positive self-talk.
I want to mention my kind deeds daily for 2 reasons:
1. To give tangible proof to myself that I am good at heart. I have a heart and it is filled with love. Lots of love, like a sponge that is dripping with water.
2. To encourage me to expand an already giving heart, by holding thoughts of goodness and kindness which will translate to acts of giving.
Today:
1. I prayed and wished earnestly in my heart that my senior conceive soon. She's been wanting to, for long now.
2. I also explored the possibility of counseling an emotionally starved child who is engaging in disruptive attention seeking behaviour at a school I go to for observership.
3. I also complimented 2 children for an excellent narration of how they spent their Diwali holidays, and enquired after another child who seems deeper and more intense than his classmates, who writes poetry and perhaps needs a mentor.
4. I spoke to the kids about why bursting crackers is not responsible behaviour.
5. I always thank my students for being a nice class, regardless of how they actually were. Because I want them to know that I care about all of us having a disciplined, fun and meaningful class, and that they are important to me.
6. I have been kind, understanding and loving to Meghu despite my own pain.
