Can't stop thinking mean thoughts about yourself? Researchers and psychologists share how to break the cycle.
Maybe that coworker gave a short response to your email because they were on deadline. Maybe your friend simply forgot to push"send" on her response.
Maybe, just maybe, it's not all about you – and that's a freeing and wonderful thing, says Kross. Zooming out and changing your viewpoint is a great way to change that destructive internal narrative, he says.Talk to yourself the way you would talk to a friend, psychologist Joy Harden Bradford says to be aware of the harmful things we might say to ourselves.
So the next time you're tempted to disparage your looks or criticize your decision-making, ask yourself: would I talk this way to my best friend? If not, practice"using the same kind and gentle language that we use with the people we love" on yourself, says Bradford."Because we're also people who we hopefully love, right?"
