Day 8/8
Loving yourself means untangling these introjections, recognizing their origins, and reshaping your self-talk. It's not easy, but it's possible with self-compassion.
I'll explain the untangling in future posts, or watch this video if you want to see the hear about the whole process.
Day 7/8
The tricky part about introjects? We mistake these beliefs as our own. But recognizing the beliefs are reactions to the introject, not our true beliefs, is key. It's about reclaiming our own narrative and get the poison out of the system.
Day 6/8
These negative beliefs often help maintain family dynamics. For example, if Sarah's mom said 'You're stupid and should do better,' Sarah internalizes it as 'I'm stupid and should do better.' It helps the mother control Sarah's behavior and reactions. Sarah is easier to control if she is poisoned with this interlaized voice.

Day 5/8
Our subconcious mind turns the introject's message into 'I' statements. So, it feels like we're saying negative things about ourselves, making us feel ashamed or inadequate. But these beliefs are just reactions to the introject. In reality these are someone else's beliefs.
Day 4/8
Introjection is created when someone in authority reacts to us. We internalize their response and create an 'introject' of it. This helps us handle interactions with these people more easily. If this voice is negative, we start abusing ourselves before the abuser can.
Day 3/8
Why is Self-Love so hard? The simple answer is the introjection. It's like absorbing someone else's personality into your thoughts. We often mistake their thoughts and feelings for our own. If this internalization is not loving, it's also hard for us to be loving with ourselves.
Day 2/8
An essential aspect of self-love is recognizing and silencing the internalized parental voice that emphasizes our shortcomings. By replacing it with compassion, we can embrace genuine self-love and care.
Day 1/8
Self-love involves shrinking the negative inner voice. If affirmations feel insincere, your internalized parental voice may be hindering genuine self-love. Cultivating self-love means replacing this voice with compassion.
