How can I stop negative self-talk and feel more positive?
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. So the other day I was on FaceTime with our two daughters, and they're 25 and 24 years old, and one of them was saying, I've just been really stuck in this mental rut lately. It's like no matter what she does, it's just never enough. She'll see somebody else doing something and then all of a sudden she's beating herself up. She's picking apart how she looks. She's working very hard and she was like, I know I'm working very hard and I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and yet I'm telling myself it's not enough. Have you ever been in that kind of place? I know I have. Or maybe somebody that you love, they're really stuck in this negative rut right now. Well, that's what you and I are going to talk about today.
What do you do when it feels like your mind has actually turned against you? I know what that feels like because I lived in that negative place for decades in my life. I was smiling on the outside, but on the inside, doom and gloom. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't do anything right. So when I heard my 24-year-old daughter trapped there, like it broke my heart. And then our other daughter is chiming in. Oh my God, I do the same thing. And I'm thinking, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to let the two of you stay there. I'm not going to let you waste decades of your life trashing yourself. And there's two reasons why I want to talk to you about this today.
