Stop Short-Selling Yourself, and Notice the Good

Some of us are prone to moments of self-defeatism, where we think unkind things about ourselves or our life situations. But it’s a brain vacuum—a black hole of sorts—that feeds on itself and devours our attention. Why does this happen? We believe the negative thoughts for two reasons: we repeat them often enough, and we trust our self-perception.

But we’re wrong, and we need to broadcast the truth. How can we do that, and how can we replace those bad thoughts with an honest affirmation of self? Addiction and recovery counselor Michael Braxton is here to help you identify your unhealthy patterns of thought and get you back on track to a healthier, more realistic understanding of you.
