✦ I asked myself that a lot this week, but I guess it's the effect of having to run errands many days in a row and being overstimulated - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia ✦
🇪🇸 ~ Creo que todas en algún momento sufrimos de pensamientos negativos hacia nosotras mismas sin un motivo en especial, es natural como ser humano sentir inseguridades (o presión) y plantearnos preguntas sobre nosotros mismos, acerca de lo que somos capaces de hacer y qué tan bien o mal llevamos todos esos temas inherentes a la vida más lo que se espera de nosotros como miembros de una sociedad (como mujeres, familiares, madres, amigas, pareja, colega y más).
🇺🇸 ~ I think that at some point, we all suffer from negative thoughts about ourselves for no particular reason. It is natural as human beings to feel insecure (or pressured) and ask ourselves questions about who we are, what we are capable of doing, and how well or poorly we handle all the issues inherent in life, plus what is expected of us as members of society (as women, family members, mothers, friends, partners, colleagues, and more).
Los pensamientos negativos hacia nosotros mismos son de lo peor, hasta puede ser una forma de auto-sabotaje y si viene en forma de pensamiento intrusivo es algo que realmente no puedes solo ignorar, es algo que toca afrontar y trabajar por todos los potenciales estragos que pueda hacer en tu vida y en cómo te relacionas con las personas y todo lo que te rodea.
Negative thoughts about ourselves are the worst; they can even be a form of self-sabotage. If they come in the form of intrusive thoughts, they are something you really cannot just ignore. They are something you have to face and work on because of all the potential damage they can do to your life and how you relate to people and everything around you.
✦ I feel pretty good right now, but yes, sometimes I have negative thoughts about myself ✦
✦ For example, last Wednesday I foolishly questioned whether I had chosen the right clothes and blamed myself for arriving an hour late because one of my kittens had attacked part of the birthday present I was carrying (Obviously, the kitten is innocent; she just saw something brightly colored and wanted to play, but I had to quickly come up with a PLAN B) ✦
Un pensamiento negativo que tengo sobre mi misma es que siempre me cuestiono si hago suficiente, ¿qué es suficiente?, aunque las cosas que haga y diga parecen estar bien, siempre me cuestiono qué pude haber hecho mejor, incluso me digo a mi misma que debe existir algo de lo que no me estoy dando cuenta, y por esa ignorancia no estoy dando el verdadero 100%, y eso a veces es devastador porque hace ruido mental cuando te encuentras en una situación o logro que se supone deberias estar celebrando con plenitud.
One negative thought I have about myself is that I always question whether I am doing enough. What is enough? Even though the things I do and say seem to be fine, I always question what I could have done better. I even tell myself that there must be something I am not realizing, and because of that ignorance, I am not giving my true 100%, and that can sometimes be devastating because it creates mental noise when you find yourself in a situation or achievement that you are supposed to be celebrating wholeheartedly.
Ese pensamiento a veces se ha extendido a más aspectos de mi vida del que debería. En el trabajo el lado positivo es que al no estar conforme con algo eso significa que te conviertes en alguien realmente meticuloso y detallista. En el hogar ese pensamiento aunque me genera intranquilidad a veces se convierte en un gran aliado porque te ayuda a tener un extra de motivación, a pensar en maneras de resolver una situación o problema que de otra manera hubieras dejado así. Pero en los momentos de celebración y fiestas es muy desagradable porque no le encuentro realmente un lado positivo.
That thought has sometimes spread to more aspects of my life than it should. At work, the positive side is that not being satisfied with something means you become really meticulous and detail-oriented. At home, although that thought makes me uneasy, it sometimes becomes a great ally because it helps you to have extra motivation, to think of ways to solve a situation or problem that you would otherwise have left as it was. But during celebrations and parties, it's very unpleasant because I can't really find a positive side to it.

✦ Everything went very well that day, by the way ✦
Lo que actualmente estoy haciendo para cambiar o mejor dicho combatir esos pensamientos intrusivos y negativos sobre si "eres o no suficiente, si hiciste o no suficiente", es tener una comunicación clara y directa con las personas, y apoyarme en mis seres queridos, que son personas muy nobles y correctas pero tambien con una gran sensibilidad, que se que me orientaran con las palabras correctas y sin hacerme sentir lastimada cuando les pregunte si todo esta bien.
También recordarme a mi misma con frecuencia que soy una buena persona que da lo mejor de sí misma todos los días, me trato con la misma gentileza que trato a los demás y eso es una formula que encuentro bastante efectiva para aliviar esa intranquilidad sobre si "es esto o no suficiente".
Otro recurso poderoso, es contar las cosas reales y tangibles. Una idea o un pensamiento no precisamente es reflejo de la realidad, las inseguridades o los pensamientos negativos puede que solo sean eso, no es la realidad ni se producen por cosas o incidentes que realmente existieron o sucedieron.
Esta es mi participación para el Ladies of Hive Community Contest #261 y aunque llego algo tarde, estoy muy contenta con las preguntas de esta semana. Espero todas esten muy bien y tengan un hermoso fin de semana 🌷 💞
What I am currently doing to change, or rather combat, those intrusive and negative thoughts about "whether or not I am good enough", is to communicate clearly and directly with people and lean on my loved ones, who are very noble and decent people but also are very fair and sensitive, and who I know will guide me with the right words and without hurting my feelings when I ask them if everything is okay.
I also remind myself often that I am a good person who gives my best every day, I treat myself with the same kindness that I treat others, and that is a formula that I find quite effective in alleviating that uneasiness about whether “this is enough or not.”
Another powerful resource is to count the real and tangible things. An idea or a thought is not necessarily a reflection of reality; insecurities or negative thoughts may be just that, not reality, nor are they caused by things or incidents that actually existed or happened.
This is my entry for the Ladies of Hive Community Contest #261, and although I'm a little late, I'm very happy with this week's questions. I hope you are all doing well and have a wonderful weekend 🌷 💞
