Words We Use

Watch the words you use to describe yourself.  Words can be either healthy or toxic.  It depends on context and intent.  If you mean yourself harm when you call yourself "stupid" then you are using words in a toxic manner and it will harm you.  Once, maybe not but my guess if you've said it once, you've said it a lot.  Say harmful words enough and they will start to own you.  I use self-deprecating humour only to make people laugh.  If it's something I belive then I watch it closely.  Watch your toxic works and if you can't help but think they are true.  Change the words you use and you'll see a difference.

Mental Toxins

Mental toxins are the negative words we use about ourselves. Whether we speak them out loud or think them in our head they do nothing to boost our self image. Take words like: "How could I be so stupid, " or "I'm not good at..." or even, "I'm a failure." - these do nothing good for us. As a matter of fact, they have a negative effect. Just like you need to put good food in your body to be healthy, you need to put good words in your head to have mental health!

Peace

We can have peace. It's sometimes simple; such as a taking a few breathes. When we are calm and rational we make better decisions. Reboot - lets close our eyes and slowly count to ten. Do you feel yourself becoming calmer? Now, close your eyes and take a few deep breathes. This will take toxins out of our body. Have a peaceful day.
