“I am ugly.” “I am fat.” “I am stupid.” “I’ll never make the team.” Do you find yourself having thoughts like these? Do you often blame yourself or find yourself unhappy with what is and wanting things to be different? Do you use words like, “I should have” or “I could have”? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you are listening to an inner voice of negative self-judgment.
