How much money do you think you could save if you put money in a jar every time you engaged in self-loathing or your inner critic?
Give it a try.
Find a bowl, vase, or piggy bank to catch your quarters when you knock yourself, and watch your self-awareness soar and your habits change. We can all change our language---and our minds.
Maybe I should give this a try since I am trying to save up for a wedding gown anyways. I bet I'll have lots of change at the end of the week. Maybe I'll start it tomorrow and post how much (or how little) money I have in the jar in a week...
In my mind I think it'll be a lot of money. But I think I have gained a great deal of self-awareness over the past few years about my inner critic. I have been able to notice my negative thoughts and stop them, but I haven't been able to master the technique of not just stopping them, but countering them with a positive thought. That'll be next..
