Words from your past have influenced who you have become.
You have bought into the comments, criticism, and harsh feedback of others, taking them on as truths. Harmful words that bury themselves within the psyche often become deep-rooted beliefs. These opinions, once solidified as a self-belief, can negatively influence your experiences and circumstances.
Follow any destructive thoughts back to the belief. Question the origin and ask yourself if it is your own belief or if you have borrowed it from an external source. You do not need to carry what is not yours. Reprogram how you feel about yourself by replacing these beliefs with new, more positive sentiments.
