I talked about this a bit a couple of days ago on another thread but I was thinking about it today.
A couple of mornings ago I woke up and (old negative)thoughts came into my head saying things like "who are you kidding yourself that you can get the qualifications to train as a teacher" and " what makes you think you can be a good teacher, you'll be rubbish" and "just forget it and stay where you are, you'll not succeed anyway".
Thoughts like this used to rule my life and, until doing LL I always acceped them.
Initially that morning, my heart sank and I found myself accepting these thoughts automatically, like I'd always done in the past. It was scary how quickly I did accept these thoughts... however...
...luckily now I know better, and not only that I know how to counter them and stick them where the sun don't shine!
I did this quickly by standing up for myself and arguing back pointing out lots of evidence that prove I can do it if I really want to, and that I have the potential to be a great teacher! Yeah man!
Voices were silent for the rest of the day, and in fact haven't resurfaced again!
I just wondered what your voices say to you to stop you reaching your potential, achieving your dreams, or even having any dreams?
