Learn To Tell The Truth About Who You Are!

Today I have a little journaling exercise for you and it involves …telling the truth about who you are!

So, get out your journal or notepad and if it’s hard to get privacy – lock yourself in the bathroom.

Ok, so back to the task… I want you to think of the most common ways in which your toxic partner has put you down or how he currently puts you down, but do not write those comments.

Instead, think carefully about the truth of who you are – the opposite of what he tells you. That is what should be written.

If he says, “You’re stupid.”
You write: I am a really smart women.

If he says, “You don’t know what you’re doing, you’re messing everything up.”
You write: I know how to live my life way better than he does.

If he says, “You don’t care about me, all you think about is yourself.”
You write: I have been very giving and loving with him, and I deserve a lot better than this in return.

If he says, “Why are you spending so much? You can’t handle money. What’s wrong with you?”
You write: I am confident with money and I know how to let it go and how to let it grow.

I think you get the idea by now – so think about all your toxic partners typical phrases and only write YOUR TRUTH. Do not write his words.

The lies and delusions he tells you about yourself can start to seem real over time, because he repeats them so many times and sounds so sure of himself. It’s important for you to state forcefully to yourself the opposite of what he says.

After you write these accurate statements about yourself (and hide them if you need too), practice saying them aloud to yourself.

Don’t believe what he’s saying about you. Write down what the “real you” is like, and fight to hold on to that.
