Self Confidence

Huh, what's that...I do have some sometimes but it is an effort. I often have to pause & remind myself I do have positive traits.

The incessant self bashing/shame often prevents me from doing what I am really capable of.

For example...I love playing the piano. I often prevent myself from playing-bashing myself...telling myself I am not good, don't wast my time. This can go on for weeks. Then, I just sit down and play for 30-45 minutes. Sit there afterwards and wonder why it took me so long to play.

It does take an effort to live in the positive lane. I can bitch about that but that doesn't help. It is my reality. When I just do it I invariably have a productive day and feel good when I go to bed at night.
