It comes guised as that though and uses a lot of subtleties to get us to give consent. Key to throwing off its influence is to stop thoughts when it's rambling, step back and refuse to buy into it, refuse to listen, refuse to give it any life. You know when someone suspicious is trying to follow you on twitter or facebook? Some entity posing as a person but it's really a spam marketing deal? and you opt not to follow? Same thing here. You gotta get into thought and refuse to 'follow'...There's a number of a ways I do this and I'd be happy to chat more if you want about it....Meanwhile, grateful you're a part of this journey to live our moments thought by thought. :) Hey there Laurie..Thanks so much for offering this question…really helps doesn't it?

Just being aware of it will make my day better.<br><br>I tend to be more gentle with others than with myself - I doubt I'm alone with that! Sometimes, when I'm being particularly ruthless with myself, I think, "Would I treat any of my friends this way?" The answer is always, "no." Then I remind myself to treat me as if I'm my best friend. That usually gets me back on track and kinder to myself. I'll give it a try – thanks for the suggestion. Just being aware of it will make my day better.
