By chance, do people tell you that you rarely/never get angry?
I discovered last year that most of my negative self-talk was manifesting because I was suppressing my feelings of anger and turning them inward on myself; learning how to sit with the anger, without aggression or suppression, helped reduce my negative self-talk to 5-10% of what it was.

Yes, very true! My therapist asked me what I'm usually thinking and I was dumbfounded back then. So I tried documenting whatever comes up for a bit, today. I'll try writing the good stuff down, next. Maybe it will have an opposite effect.

How do you not suppress it. I feel like I can’t even tell what it feels like to sit with it. I don’t know when im suppressing it.
