Be physical!
. . . until obsession takes control of your life and happiness.
A good example to illustrate this point is the Apple line, Physics, a dark comedy-drama starring Rose Byrne, takes place in the early 1980s in San Diego. The main character, Sheila, played by Miss Bryne, is a housewife and mother who struggles with an eating disorder and talks about herself extremely negatively. Her inner voice tells the story, and there’s nothing to hold back from her true thoughts – about herself and others.
Although the show is entertaining, Sheila’s sadness cannot be denied. Sheila, a ballet dancer who’s always had fun and finds success creating aerobics videos that are extremely rigid and overly focused on her meals, looks, and negative self-image.
At one point, she said to herself, “You’re the only one who thinks about food this much, you’re such a freak.” This is a prime example of her negative self-talk and ultimately leads to a constant battle between attacks and purges.
She starts her day by saying to herself, “Today you will eat healthy foods”. This line takes straight from her eating rule book and makes clear how disordered her eating is from the very first episode because she is very restrictive and has food rules as a sign. of disordered eating.
After years of working with women in retail, becoming a certified trainer, and confronting my own body image and past struggles with disordered eating, the show This makes me sad but hopeful for those who also encounter these problems. Thankfully, there are a number of coping strategies and exercises to help improve a person’s relationship with food and their body.
Negative self-talk can quickly take over our minds and lead to a bad cycle. Changing this general pattern takes practice.
Use 3 C’s to change negative thoughts
Using the 3 Cs (Change, Commitment and Consistency) can help change negative thoughts.
To change your lifestyle in any way, form or form, you need commitment and consistency. This principle applies to almost everything we do in life: start a business, do well in exams, lose weight and become healthier, in addition to improving your relationships, especially is with yourself. When we commit, we naturally feel pressured to take steps to achieve our goals. The drive that comes from wanting to prove to ourselves that we can do it successfully keeps us consistent. Writing down goals, commitments, and action steps keeps us accountable and keeps us engaged.
Improving self-esteem and confidence takes a similar level of commitment. Usually, it’s a good idea to start a new habit, such as telling yourself how amazing you are every morning for a week, only to have a bad day and break the habit. Instead of creating a story in your head about how you messed up, examine yourself and move on to the story. Changing the way we think and treat ourselves doesn’t happen in a week: be consistent and trust the process.
Here are three other ways to practice transforming your negative talk:
1. Be clearly aware of your thoughts and what you are saying to yourself.
To change anything, you must accept it first. When you hear your inner criticism creeping into your head, stop, admit it, and ask yourself if the thought is true. Once you are aware and accept the problem, you can take the next steps. Nothing could happen before that.
2. Choose exercises you’re really willing to try, consistently!
Try and create a mental toolbox that includes a variety of exercises, such as journaling, breathing, or challenging yourself to rephrase your negative self-talk and change your perspective.
For example, if you find yourself saying “I’m going to look big in these jeans, I shouldn’t go out tonight,” try instead, “I’ll wear something else that I’m more comfortable with. That way, when I go out tonight, I’ll be able to focus my energy on my friends and enjoy myself. ”
Find out with someone you feel safe sharing your feelings with
Choose someone (friend, family member, professional) who is non-judgmental and who will hold your spot.
Express your feelings to them and make a list of your compliments. Repeat these daily – consistency is key! Similar to a morning gratitude list, tell yourself five reasons why you are great.
When you experience feelings of physical anxiety, it is worrisome that your thoughts are not helping you. Use these sensations as a signal to start making 3 Cs.
As Sheila says, “Only you have the power to change you.”
