    Journaling really works, it helps me to sort out the mental mess. It clarifies to me what it is that I’m actually worrying about and gives me an opportunity to correct the thought or think of a change that needs to be made. It’s like making a plan for how to handle each thought or worry AND IT WORKS! Great video Georgia.

    Its nice to have someone who knows what they are talking about. A seasoned professional with experience of what helps, not only professionally, but probably personally, rather than the 'self help' guru's you traditionally find, who learnt it from a book.

    I am so thankful for your channel. I just recently got over severe depression, as in my psychiatrist and therapist said that I no longer have to take meds and am more or less coping.
    Anyways I just wanted to say what you mention about being nice to yourself and it feeling weird was exactly the same sort of sensation I felt. Then other little things started happening, I started thinking things like “I believe in myself” instead of “the world would be happier without you”. “That’s unfair to say” instead of “you deserve this”, that feeling of WORTH, omg. It was almost worth the struggle.❤

    This is an old video, so it feels silly to comment on it. But this is the exact situation I'm in, and the thing I need to do. I mean, I *know* I need to do it. My last session with my therapist she literally told me effectively the exact same thing... But then, when I sat down my first day of writing 'something positive about myself'... I couldn't do it. I sat for 5min staring at a blank page, every time I tried to grasp at something positive, instead the negative thoughts came in, and they got louder and louder the more desperately I was chasing any ounce of positivity towards myself. Then, as if the flood gate had been opened by the experience. Ever since that day, luckily only a couple days ago (so far), the negative self talk has been all that occupies my brain, it's been supercharged.
    There's no hope of kindness for myself in my current state. I think the problem is I've trained my brain up very well to be negative towards me. It's not just a bully, or a bad friend, it is toxic and manipulative. I find so easily ways to redirect any attempts at logic and fairness towards myself. 'Would I say this to my friend? No, never', "Well that's obviously because your friend isn't awful, but I am". 'Is it really true? Aren't I being too harsh?', "No, it's what I deserve, just look at all the times I messed up! Remember all this stuff? Clearly I'm right", 'Everyone makes mistakes' "But not nearly as much as you". The negative self-negative part of me is stronger, it argues better, it's more convincing. And I know that's defeatist to say that (I'm all too aware of everything), but it's true, or at least effectively it's true. Every time I try to fight against it, I end up just agreeing with it in the end. At least how things are currently. The self hate and lack of value for myself sits so deep rooted in me, that I genuinely don't know how to be kind to myself, or what it's like. I know this will help, I know following both my own therapist and this video will help me, but I just can't do it... I know how destructive it is and want to stop, but I can't, I can't logic away the voice. No matter how aware I am of it, how cruel I know it is, I believe too deeply that I'm deserving of it to fight back.

      I hope you find the things which you do which is positive and you can be proud of. Start small and work bit by bit. Think maybe about what a friend or loved one would be proud of you for and start there. Keep at it and dont lose hope. Thanks for commenting even though it was a older video = ) it does matter

    Circle thinking can be stopped by looking at an optical illusion. Works best with one where you have to fight hard to see the opposite of the image you first observed. Hold one image in the mind and then play a game flipping it back and forth. Ones brain cant do both, zeros out the processor. Start the exercise for a couple min then assess if more time is needed. Follow up work and evaluation easier of unwanted thoughts more effective from outside the spiral. Just a small trick if one needs something to try to quiet the mind.

    yeah I have those allot from constantly failing to improve from practicing, failing to meet my expectations, disappointing myself and being surrounded by people who actually improved with practiced ( like in my art class everyone else got better and was able to draw better than me, English classes everyone else could always write stories for the impossible prompts, or like the jump rope 4 heart thing everyone else was making their jump ropes and mine would just skid on the ground and not spin ) all of those developed allot of my thoughts and it got the point people thought someone was bullying me but no one actually was ( besides myself of course ). I stopped seeking those talents in order to stop me from bullying myself but it didn't fully fix it. Like I still want a talent and if I try get a talent then all of that stuff will come back if I try again getting a talent or if I don't seek a talent I live the nagging feeling that I failed myself again but to a lesser degree.

    I have a huge problem with negative self talk. I always feel like a child among adults that thinks he knows what he is talking about but is just spewing nonsense. I have a huge problem where I always look back and regret sharing my thoughts and opinions. Every time I share something I look back on it and regret it because I feel like I said something idiotic and embarrassing when I was really trying to say something smart and insightful. I always try to convince myself that I'm saying the right things but I never get positive feedback so it doesn't feel like it. At least it feels good to share this, I am crying right now just typing this out because I never write down my feelings. I also have a ton of anxiety about jobs, college, and my future. I have no friends anymore and I always see and hear everyone else doing stuff with their lives and I don't even use social media. I sit around everyday looking for anything to distract myself because I don't know what to do. I used to love video gaming as a hobby but I haven't had interest in that for a while now. I'll start journaling today and see where it leads me, I desperately hope it will do something for me, but I know I'll need much more than that alone. I feel like somedays I can feel super great and others just bring me right back down to this place.

    I believe myself as a pessimist so I can fully relate to this but I have been trying to change this as of late since my psyche is getting worst. I'm a visual person so journaling my words is hard without visuals. I'll try. I have been picking out a couple of assignments from you that might help me. I'll keep you posted, Georgia.

    I feel like an idiot that I didn't see this great video sooner! (I'll work on that). As you were discussing mammoths my anxiety rose and rose, but whew you didn't say Bob was run over by them! After years of therapy and personal work I have dealt well with the negative talk. I hope in a future episode you talk about positive advertising for our minds, I have never done that well! Thank you for these wonderful videos! I'm especially glad you started in the winter- it is such a hard time- SADD.

    i've been journaling... for... how long...? it's '22 now... wow. about 20 years. obsessively writing and typing. and now i vomit my feelings and ideas onto the poor people on youtube. at least i keep it contained and don't do it on reddit, twitter, instagram, discord, whatever.
    i've learned a lot about myself. mostly, i've learned that i'm wrong about what i think.
    and then that i'm wrong about that. and then that i'm wrong about all of it. but i am right about some other things. and then realize i'm wrong about those too.
    it's amazing what a life of being lonely and facing endless rejection can do... to a mind... trying to stay sane.
    i think journaling is an excellent way to challenge yourself. because... idk. i want to say that we find meaning in ourselves and the world... but...
    two decades of trying to find myself through words has only gotten me so far. still. i suppose the effort is as good as anything else.
    thousands of pages. millions of words. probably.
    digging. digging. digging. deeper, deeper, deeper. into the darkness of my mind. unsatisfied, but holding onto hope. too tired to go any further.
    but still going because i don't know what else to do.

    I don't want to right down the things I say to my self. What if someone finds it? I'm definitely feeling defensive for some reason. It's almost like I want to justify the things I say to my self. But I know I wouldn't ever say them to a friend.

  • @psykenroyale
    @psykenroyale Месяц назад

    How do we separate trying to be kinder to ourselves compared to building an inflated ego?
    I’m very negative to my self in the things I work on where not many could do them better. I don’t want to start thinking I’m the best there is though.
    So do we just keep the side of “No one is perfect so its okay”? I hope this question makes sense.

    But what should I do, when I hear those things from my parents every day? I want to believe that I can do better and that I'm not dumb. Whenever I make a mistake, everything inside of me screams, that I'm unworthy of love and stupid.
    Maybe you or someone else could give me an advice? I would really appreciate help.

    hello Georgia, quick question, would this work in an individual sport?
    I play snooker (12 years) and make YT videos (this is my fourth year ) when I play really good.
    I heard from others that I'm a good player! Honestly, I don't see it. I think I can go a level higher to GREAT. I think my mind is messing with me., my personal life can be chaos at times, and that might spill into my snooker.
    I am a perfectionist, but most of the time not getting the results I'm looking for
    is that a sports therapy or a life therapy?
    I want to know where to start looking? (There is SO MUCH stuff out there is difficult. to know where to begin)
