Positive self-talk can dramatically improve mood, boost confidence, increase productivity, and more. Much more. In fact, it can be one of the key components to a happy, successful life. The bad news is, the reverse is also true: Negative self-talk can not only put us in a bad mood, it can leave us feeling helpless. It can make small problems seem bigger – and even create problems where none existed before. Here's the breaking news, your self-talk is fucking you over and in ways you can't even begin to imagine.

Αν νιώθω απογοητευμένη στη σχέση μου ή ότι δεν με φροντίζω, μπορεί να μη μου αρέσει εκείνο το άτομο που με φροντίζει ή με νοιάζεται, καθώς αυτό με κάνει να προβληματίζομαι για τα πράγματα που δεν λειτουργούν στη ζωή μου.

Υπάρχουν δυσώδεις παρουσίες και στον πνευματικό κόσμο. Δεν γίνεται αλλιώς. Η πλάκα είναι όταν αυτοί οι άνθρωποι κάνουν παρέα και ο ένας συμμετέχει ενεργά στις δραστηριότητες του άλλου. Γίνεται ένα μπουκέτο από φίδια. Φυσικά, έχουν τρανταχτές σχέσεις και γνωριμίες, τρώνε μαζί, βγαίνουν μαζί, και μόλις χωρίσουν, τρία λεπτά μετά, αρχίζει ο ένας το θάψιμο του άλλου. Και βέβαια σε μισούν γιατί έχεις ταλέντο. Γιατί θέλεις ν' αγιάσεις και έχεις απεξαρτηθεί από τις συναλλαγές. Γιατί δεν είσαι όμοιός τους, γιατί δεν κάνεις κι εσύ το κακό.
