Stories we tell ourselves
The stories we tell ourselves daily affect our quality of life. Play close attention to these stories  – question them to see if you feel like a victim and someone else is a villain. These stories can unleash of chain of thoughts that cause serious harm to your mental balance. Have made a list of such stories that run my mind everyday           - T... more...
