'This month ARC’s #noshame campaign brings you our new video series: ‘Overcoming Shame’ At ARC Fitness we seek to change the conversation that surrounds addiction and challenge the existing stigma, shame, discrimination, and blame that can often stop someone from seeking the support that is available to them. These videos will provide you with simple, yet effective CBT based approaches to help you positively manage and deal with negative emotions that may prevent you from reaching your full potential. *********************** Watch them. Try them out. See what happens. *********************** #3 – Develop a compassionate inner voice How you speak to yourself affects what you believe about yourself. So if I frequently say things like ‘I’m such an idiot’ when I make a mistake, soon enough, I start to believe it. I feel bad about myself and that makes me feel ashamed. But how do you break an unhealthy thinking habit like this? It starts by becoming more aware of how you speak to yourself. Once you start to notice your negative self-talk patterns, you can work to challenge them by creating new, healthier patterns. Over time, you end up cultivating a more compassionate inner voice. Think about someone you really love. How would you speak to them if they made the same mistake? Would you call them an idiot? Of course not. You might challenge them, but you’d also support them and reassure them and help them move beyond that moment. So, when you catch yourself self-shaming, pause. Bring to mind what you would say to someone you love in that situation. And say that instead. It takes practice. So start fighting shame by developing a compassionate inner voice. ************************** Credits: Sarah Rutherford Neil Lawson Learning Pool L\'Orchestra Cinematique The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland https://www.cheeseandegg.art/ https://www.instagram.com/cheeseandegg/ https://twitter.com/cheeseandegg https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheeseandegg/ https://www.facebook.com/LOrchestraCinematique/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLuEtEE-MF7EYtGcN0Z6mDg https://twitter.com/LOrchestraCine https://www.instagram.com/lorchestracinematique/'See also:
