Be kind to yourself :)
It hurts when someone says something nasty to you, or even worse about you behind your back. We forget that while this is painful, the most harmful words are the ones we say to ourselves. Telling yourself, “You are SO going to FAIL this exam,” or repeating “you’re so stupid, you’re so stupid” when you don’t get how to do a math problem, may be a common practice for you. Know that, this does not help. Not only does it not help, it goes a long way to making it impossible for you to actually do well in something. When these thoughts start to cross your mind, acknowledge that they’re happening, let them go, and replace them with the nice gooshy warm positive thoughts, that will absolutely do more to help you than you can ever realize. We suggest the ever powerful, “you CAN do this!” Simple, yet right to the point.
