What Are You Telling Yourself?

When you are sitting there and wondering why your relationship ended and thinking about how bad you feel, what words do you choose to talk to yourself about the situation? Do you say things like, "I feel awful, I'm depressed, why did this happen, I'll never get over this, my heart is broken, etc.? Or, do you say, "This didn't work out the way I wanted and even though it will be tough in the beginning, I know I will get beyond this pain." Or, "I know some way, some how, I will get beyond this heartache, I will find the strength inside and I will survive." What you say to yourself about any situation is exactly how you are going to experience it. So, if you are still feeling bad after the initial mourning period has passed and you are struggling with letting go, it's time to tune into what words you are using when you talk to yourself. You are the only one who can make a difference. Why not choose what helps you, not what hurts you?
