How do I stop negative self talk ?

I try to end internal negative self talk with “…and that’s okay.”

“I’m feeling so lazy today, and that’s okay.”
“I sounded like an idiot on that client call, and that’s okay.”

Sort of neutralizes the “I’m awful” thought spiral and moves me on to more productive things. Hope that helps!

I started to say “stop it” out loud to break the pattern - even in public so it would feel embarrassing (invisible rubber band flick) it worked.

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
