Critical thoughts

Yesterday my sister and I had a conversation around self-critical thoughts this was due to how earlier in the day I'd caught myself stating:
"You have achieved nothing today" just as I was walking into the room she was in.

It hit me quite hard and I stopped in my tracks, cup of tea in hand and reframed that narrative!! Comments like that, if they were said to a friend, sister, partner etc, would be not only cruel but abusive.
Every moment we choose to nurture ourselves, demonstrate compassion, feel the pain, sit just sit, are moments of accomplishments too. So, when you can capture the moment of a self-critical thought, be aware of it, and even for a fleeting second see if you can reframe.
