I used to be hypercritical and judgmental of myself.

“That’s just the way I am” I would say.

But then I realized: it wasn’t my voice at all. It was my father’s—echoing through the corridors of my mind, long after he had passed away.

When I realized that I began to reframe the way I would speak to myself.

Now I speak to myself the way I speak to my children. With love and grace and understanding.

And not surprisingly it makes it easier to be non-judgmental towards others.

You can just do things 🤝 You can just change your perspective/inner monologue

Be the man you want your children to aspire to. 🫡🙌

Thanks for this.

i say this to my son all the time - you can't love others if you don't love yourself.

Mentally Decentering from your parents is a must do for everyone starting 18 even if you had a good relationship , people can spend their whole life not realizing that their subconscious is centered around their parent ( it’s natural when your younger but it becomes a problem later no matter how great or bad they are )

Lovely sentiment. And it’s better than the alternative. But the core error is that “you” cannot love your “self”.

Because that implies there are two of you. You and self.

You are yourself. Go beyond your mind. Separate the mind from the self.

People will spend decades in therapy to learn this.

Breaking the cycle like the gordian knot, with the sword of a king.

“Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life.” - Bruce Lee

heh I was just journaling about being too critical of myself when I’m high, but specifically only critical of my activities on social media.

That Bruce Lee quote reminds me of a scene from the Owl House where the two witch characters have lost their powers and need to switch to drawing symbols in a language-like way.

The people I enjoy being around and trust the most - have a deep undercurrent of SELF-LOVE.

The voices we internalize shape the stories we tell ourselves. Recognizing them is the first step to rewriting the narrative. Self-compassion isn’t just healing—it’s liberation. Hi HODL 🏴‍☠️⚡️💜🧡
