Why is it that we tend to remember every negative word that is said to us and somehow forget the positive ones?

It’s like we engrave criticism from others in our brain but fail to do the same for the compliments we receive.

Why is it that we rely so much on others to make us feel good when the responsibility is 100% ours?

We are the master of our mind.

Here’s a solution you may find helpful.

Never let anyone record directly into your subconscious because it sticks like glue.

Even praise from others can be dangerous if we begin to rely on that person for continued praise.  And sometimes, this turns into the start of a co-dependent relationship where the praise giver gets the power to make others feel good and not so good when praise turns to criticism.

When done the right way, you provide the positive input directly into your mind and then when another person says something complimentary, consider it reaffirmation of what you already know about yourself — more evidence that you are good person.

Nothing improves self-esteem more than taking charge of what you allow into your head.
