"My name is Brenda and I'm a negative talker". How's that for a start to the group?

And I can't analyze your issue, because I have the same one. I've been thinking, as I've been doing the homework this week, that a lot of the "negative" things I say to myself are true. So why would I need to stop saying them?<br /><br />Don't worry - I recognize that this isn't good or healthy or God-honoring. But it's what I struggle with... Messy Mom – you are welcome to join in anytime!

Unfortunately I was thinking you were one hour ahead, but duh, it's two hours, so I missed you. Tomorrow I'm running some errands and I'm going to look for the book. Maybe, just maybe, I can actually do two different studies at once.<br /><br />I had a really weird thought though while reading your post... Negative talk is normal for me and I'm not quite sure I even want to give it up. Who wants to analyze that?

That sounds like a really awesome study. I was seeing a lot of stuff that I struggle with in my own mental closet just reading through this post. I am looking forward to hearing more and maybe I can get a hold of the actual book, we'll see. Wow! That sounds like a really awesome study.
