Anytime negative self criticism comes to mind allow that thought then challenge it with positivity. “I spilt my coffee all over my table because I’m stupid” “but I also cleaned that mess quickly, I also know that everyone makes this same mistake so how am I stupid”
Sometimes negative thought may appear like a bad relationship, one may feel guilty for thinking negatively about that relationship or what ever it is but sometimes we’re allowed to feel these things towards previous situations. “Can’t believe I wasted a year with that person only to be cheated on” “and now I am in a foal mood for thinking about it” “well actually its healthy to grieve and thats what this is”
A lot of therapy is about changing our own perspectives. Introspection can be a great tool, learning to sit with and question ones own reasoning is the most important part of the process.
