In the profound words of Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, author of “The Body Keeps The Score,” he succinctly captures a universal truth: “The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves.” This sentiment resonates deeply, especially for those who have faced external challenges that pale in comparison to the formidable internal struggles within the mind.
From grappling with incarceration, battling through overdoses, losing friends, to facing unemployment, the most formidable adversaries were the self-destructive thoughts echoing within. Phrases like “I don’t matter” or “I’m not enough” became relentless opponents, creating a battleground within the mind. One needs to learn to eliminate The 7 Deadly Phrases from their vocabulary to master their emotions.
The realization that one is not alone in this internal struggle is a powerful revelation. After all, no one speaks to you more than YOU do. To foster positivity and challenge the lies we tell ourselves, let’s embark on a journey of positive self-reflection. Driven by the belief that affirmations can reshape our inner narrative, here are five transformative “I am” statements to counteract negativity:
