iāve started replacing āi want to dieā with āi feel overwhelmedā in my internal monologue, which is usually more accurate and more productive
ive been working on replacing āim so stupidā with āim so sillyā and it has the same effect!
āI canāt do thisā -> This will be a challenge for me, itās normal to feel intimidated
āI hate thisā -> This is a tough situation to handle and Iām doing my best
āI hate myselfā -> Iām struggling with low self esteem right now, I need to support myself as I would a friend
āI canāt believe I forgot againā -> Itās tough to balance so many things, maybe I need to let go of some of them
āTheyāre not going to like meā -> I donāt have to perform for anyone, my personality is valid and loveable just as is
The list could go on and onā¦
Redirecting the āblameā from yourself and recognizing that you are a human suffering through normal, difficult human experiences is important. Support yourself like youād support any of your close friends if they said these things.
I canāt tell you how delighted I am to see Actual Scripted Examples!
Iāve known I need to modify my self-talk like this for three+ years, and Iāve been trying for that long, but I never know what to replace it with. So the examples are super incredibly helpful, thank you so much. ~<333
My revolutionary phrase has been āI am not having fun right now.ā Because instead of exaggerating/catastrophizing, I usually go in the opposite direction: every time I think āI canāt take this,ā the logician in my brain reminds me that *technically* I can, and so itās not a problem. Iām capable of withstanding a hell of a lot, so waiting until I hit āI actually literally cannot take this for one more single secondā is generally not the best idea. But reframing to āI am not having fun with thisā has let me modify or straight up quit uncomfortable things much sooner, because it doesnāt have to be that bad for me to acknowledge that Iām not having fun anymore, and once I acknowledge that itās easier to give myself permission to make a change!

bitch this is all youāre gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not āmaybe in another universeā your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all youāre gonna get.

She was called Phillis, because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, which was the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal.
In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: āShe's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!ā
At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At the age of twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen enlightened men in robes and wigs.
She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and some verses from the Bible, and she also had to vow that the poems she had composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination, until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet.
Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States.
