The virtue I got a homework assignment for you guys that is a lesson in eliminating negative self-talk, but it's kind of bizarre

All right, you ready you ready to accept this challenge?

Maybe it's a really easy one. It's a real easy one. I love being mean to myself. Yeah, well, we're gonna change

It's funny because years and years and years ago when I first started therapy

That's the first thing that my therapist started working on is she's like, you know what man?

Because I went in there for the first time and I was telling her that if I would just leave like a water bottle in the garage when I walked into the living room

I'd call myself all sorts of names like stupidity. How could you do do do do do do do and do that to yourself, right? She's like

It's obvious. You would never talk to anybody else like that

But here we are talking all sorts of crap to ourselves, right? This was years ago

And I remember her saying at the time like just notice it like don't try to eliminate it

Just notice it first and then we'll start working on it and this was a long time ago

And I think I have forgotten that lesson

So I was reminded of it a couple of days ago

My fiance and I we listen like these self-help podcasts all the time. It's really pretty obnoxious and

She really loves this one podcast her name Mel Robbins. Oh, she's my favorite. Oh, she's so good, man

She's the best. I've been following her for a hot minute and she is just so her delivery and

I've shared some stuff on the show from her before like the high five challenge was from oh is that hers?

That's hers. Okay. That's when you just like wake up in the morning

You look at yourself in the mirror you high five yourself exactly. It was a little on the weird side

She also has one podcast. This is a side bar here where she talks to her teenage son who was going through some depression and suicidal thoughts and

It is probably one of the most powerful

Podcasts I have listened to as somebody that has a teenage son so you might want to look her up. She's incredible
