How to Identify Self Toxicity and Work Through It

Have you had days where you can’t think anything good about yourself? Or days where everything you do doesn’t come up to your expectations, so you start demeaning yourself?

As human beings, we are bound to mess up one time or another. But one of the most harmful things you can do to yourself is to hurt yourself by being over-critical of everything you do.

It is always good to set expectations for yourself and have that inner voice that helps you reach your potential. But when your inner voice becomes toxic and self-hurting, it can become a barrier to your success and can demotivate you. What you think about yourself and how you perceive yourself is eventually how you see yourself.

Here are some of the habits you can adopt that can help overcome that inner critical voice.

Whenever you face thoughts of failure at something, or you are not good enough to achieve something, remember to be a little logical.

Write down a list of all the reasons why you think you will fail and all the reasons why you won’t fail–similar to a pro and con list.
