Negative Words On Replay

[DDNatureLover]

I used to get stuck on the particular phrases and also the intonations, of negative interactions. They would play over in my mind again and again. Also, small mistakes I had made, that weren't even noticed by others, because I would expect myself to be perfect. I was always a lot more forgiving of others than of myself. I now know that much of that is related to negativity when I was growing up. As I get older and encounter new experiences, I realize how stressed out my mother and father probably were about certain situations, and knowing that helps to temper those memories somewhat. I am trying to focus more on the positive. Making lists of positive things and accomplishments does help to redirect me when I get stuck on the negativity.
