Wondering how not to be too harsh on yourself? Here are some effective ways to overcome self-criticism, that will surely help you fall in love with yourself.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn\u2019t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.\u201d<\/em> \u2015 Louise L. Hay.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It often happens that we think very lowly of ourselves, assuming that we aren’t good enough or we don’t have the capacity to deal with something, or maybe, we can’t pull off a certain task. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are, for sure, external factors that induce such thoughts, but often it stems from overthinking and self-criticism.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we try to compare our career, choices, income, looks, or attire with that of others and don’t find it satisfactory enough, we start to think that we aren’t good enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

Self-criticism usually triggers negative thoughts about ourselves – more specifically, about our behaviors and attributes. And they tend to disrupt the normal flow of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to put some light on this matter, here are some examples that’ll help you to understand the signs that you are overly critical of yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m a failure.”<\/span>
\n“I can’t do anything right.”<\/span>
\n“I’m not good enough for you.”<\/span>
\n“I will not look good wearing that dress.”<\/span>
\n“I am not strong enough to do this.”<\/span>
\n“I’ll never get better.”<\/span>
\n\u201cNobody is interested in my ideas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When such thoughts appear in a loop, you’d eventually nurture negative thoughts questioning your own abilities, and end up not even trying something. <\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, self-criticism is mostly rooted in fear and it stops you from taking action on your ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

To put it in the words of Darlene Lancer<\/strong>, \u201cDon’t be a victim of your thoughts.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In order to train your mind to stop criticizing yourself and to focus on your positive attributes, here are a few steps that you can follow.<\/span><\/p>\n
