Silent and negative non-verbal thoughts to ourselves about life's circumstances can and will hurt us. They are the misbeliefs or lies we silently tell ourselves, over and over again about why we feel the way we feel when we experience suffering. Our silent, negative non-verbal thoughts become our negative self-talk and keep us stuck in life's circumstances. We can choose to make a difference. We can choose to recognize the misbeliefs or lies we tell ourselves so that we can start the healing process of moving forward.
