Me llamo la atención cuando leí el post de @geila sobre este nuevo espacio de preguntas al que se nos abren las puertas para participar en el LOH Contest #308. Preguntas que son muy bien sugeridas por la amiga @ifarmgirl, muchas gracias por esta nueva oportunidad de explorar temas tan impactantes y compartir sobre ellos en esta hermosa comunidad Ladies of Hive.
Lo que más me trastornó, en el buen sentido, sobre estas preguntas, es el hecho de que hace justo una semana estaba en un sitio concurrido, lleno de personas y varias de esas personas eran conocidas, pero, por alguna razón, llegó un momento en que simplemente me cerré ante todos, abrí mi blog de notas para escribir lo que sentía y no estaba muy bien de ánimos. Creé unos minutos de retrospectiva y autorreflexión sobre este estado emocional que imperaba y lo que esa voz que desde dentro me susurraba y hasta gritaba; y ahí estaba ella, mi crítica interna. El resultado inicial fue negativo, luego reflexioné más ampliamente al respecto.
En la captura de pantalla se ve fecha y hora de mi escrito y autopercepción. Es en efecto como me sentía entonces. Pero resulta que escribir lo negativo que mi yo interna me puede hacer sentir no es lo único, sólo es la primera parte del proceso, esa persona interior me decía en las líneas finales, y eso creo que es su frase favorita cuando me quiere hacer creer que: "Soy un espectro, un fantasma de carne y huesos, un ser apenas visible que cuenta numéricamente en grupos pero sin contar como persona." Pero reconocer que no me siento bien y que la voz en mi interior es negativa es sólo un paso a lo que en verdad sigue.
Cuando ya no puedo más y lidiar con mi voz interior duele, ese momento duro en que mi crítica interna habla más fuerte y me desploma, solo puedo pedir ayuda a Dios, aferrarme a las promesas que me da en su palabra de que no soy cualquier cosa o un despojo, soy como dice mi Padre Celestial:
"1P 2:9: "..sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo adquirido por Dios, para que anunciéis las virtudes de aquel que os llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable;"
Y así me aferro a lo que dice la Biblia:
"Is 41:10: "No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; no desmayes, porque yo soy tu Dios que te esfuerzo; siempre te ayudaré, siempre te sustentaré con la diestra de mi justicia."
Me imagino que mi crítica interna es sin lugar a dudas una dama cruel y petulante, negativa la mayoría de las veces aunque también desafiante y a veces si toma algo de bondad para animarme a lograr metas. Pero cuando toma un papel negativo es desgarradora, como como una vil dama que lleva una guadaña para rasgar fuerte al corazón, y arrebatar mis sueños. Es algo así como una moneda que tiene dos caras o un cuchillo con dos filos, muy inestable a veces o en ocasiones peligrosamente agradable.
Sé que esa voz interna puede fallarme, que puede desmoronarme y destrozarme y es por ello que aunque reconozca el daño que a veces me hace, busco mi salida en quien siempre permanece fiel y me sostiene, mi Dios, que me ayuda a salir de esa crisis emocional, silenciar esa negativa voz, decirle a esa dama de la guadaña que esta vez no la escucharé y levantarme, sacudirme el polvo y volver al buen sendero. Un tropiezo no es un final, un mal pensamiento o mal día no nos define, depende de cuanto dejemos que eso nos afecte o si nos proponemos levantarnos y caminar otra vez.
Y eso es todo por hoy, nos leemos en la próxima y en los comentarios 😎🫵🏻. También aprovecho para invitarles a participar del LOH Contest 308 dejando aquí el link del post donde se anuncia:

English Version
It caught my attention when I read @geila's post about this new question space that opens its doors for us to participate in the LOH Contest #308. Questions that are very well suggested by our friend @ifarmgirl, thank you very much for this new opportunity to explore such impactful topics and share about them in this beautiful Ladies of Hive community.
What disturbed me the most, in a good way, about these questions is the fact that just a week ago I was in a crowded place, full of people, and several of those people were acquaintances, but for some reason, there came a moment when I simply shut myself off from everyone, opened my notes app to write what I was feeling, and I wasn't in a very good mood. I created a few minutes of retrospect and self-reflection about this emotional state that prevailed and what that voice from within whispered and even shouted at me; and there she was, my inner critic. The initial result was negative, then I reflected more broadly on it.
In the screenshot you can see the date and time of my writing and self-perception. It is indeed how I felt then. But it turns out that writing the negative things my inner self can make me feel is not the only thing, it's just the first part of the process, that inner person told me in the final lines, and I think that's her favorite phrase when she wants to make me believe that: "I am a specter, a ghost of flesh and bones, a barely visible being who counts numerically in groups but doesn't count as a person." But recognizing that I don't feel well and that the voice inside me is negative is only a step toward what truly comes next.
When I can't take it anymore and dealing with my inner voice hurts, that hard moment when my inner critic speaks louder and I collapse, I can only ask God for help, cling to the promises He gives me in His word that I am not just anything or a wreck, I am as my Heavenly Father says:
"1 Peter 2:9: '...you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;'"
And so I cling to what the Bible says:
"Isaiah 41:10: 'Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.'"
I imagine that my inner critic is without a doubt a cruel and petulant lady, negative most of the time although also challenging and sometimes she does take on some kindness to encourage me to achieve goals. But when she takes on a negative role she is heartbreaking, like a vile lady who carries a scythe to slash hard at the heart and snatch away my dreams. It's something like a coin that has two sides or a knife with two edges, very unstable at times or sometimes dangerously pleasant.
I know that inner voice can fail me, that it can crumble me and shatter me, and that is why even though I recognize the harm it sometimes does to me, I seek my way out in the One who always remains faithful and sustains me, my God, who helps me come out of that emotional crisis, silence that negative voice, tell that lady of the scythe that this time I won't listen to her, and get up, shake off the dust and return to the good path. A stumble is not an ending, a bad thought or a bad day does not define us, it depends on how much we let it affect us or whether we set out to get up and walk again.
And that's all for today, we'll read each other in the next one and in the comments 😎🫵🏻. I also take the opportunity to invite you to participate in the LOH Contest 308 by leaving here the link to the post where it's announced:

It sounds like your inner critic took advantage of your mood and whispered those phrases. But I admire you for shifting your mind and heart to God and His promise instead of listening to and believing the negativity of the cruel lady. I agree; falling over doesn't mean we are done for. It's a reminder that we can always get up and move forward. Thank you for sharing your experience.❤️

That critical voice we hear is the voice of the Enemy! No one but him would talk that way to tear us down! Running to Jesus is so what is needed in those times for He will build you up!
Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY

You are most welcome my sister! Blessings to you as well, and have a blessed day! 🤗🌹
exactly a bad thought or day doesn't define us
That's right @yalloveme, it's better to move forward, leave the stumble behind and get up with a view to continuing. There will also be beautiful days ahead☺️
And that's just it💫💯.
thanks for stopping by 🙏❤️🩹
You already know that God loves you @shell975 he paid a very high price for you. I learned to trust in his faithfulness more than my unreliable faith because his is ironclad and will not give me up.
Listen to his voice.
His faithfulness never ceases.
Sanctification means we're a spiritual work in process.

You're so right, friend @kerrislravenhill, God loves us and doesn't leave us alone, His word backs it up over and over again, just like in that beautiful verse from Isaiah that reminds us that He always cares for us, helps us, and sustains us. It's hard not to be afraid or get depressed at times, but God is always there and we have to trust in Him, that the good work He began in us He will continue to affirm, maybe we're not that strong but we have the strongest One with us☺️❤️
