    Happy birthday! Yeah, I struggle with self-talk too. This is something I’m working on in therapy actually, and yesterday my therapist gave me the idea to talk/write out the things you’re telling yourself at the time you’re saying it then immediately throw it out. Hit the trash can button and repeat the process until you’ve completely rid yourself of that thought. I haven’t tried it yet, but I do know I find catharsis whenever I delete something that no longer serves me. So, I’m willing to give this a shot.
