Lately i've been feeling like I'm in limbo - not wanting to return to where I was, and not quite where I'd like to be as yet - and I just realized my negative self-talk has caused me to feel so burdened and heavy. I know I just need to sit with this restlessness for a while, knowing that it will pass in time, but constant negative talk has only made it worse. I will be using your tips to help me along my journey. I can be my own worse critic and constantly telling myself that I'm broken and that there's something wrong with me obviously doesn't help. I'd been wondering how I can begin to turn things around, and these tips are exactly what I need.<br />I just discovered your blog today and immediately subscribed. I thank you for this. I can't wait to continue reading your previous posts.Maianoreply@blogger.com
