Someone once told me: "Your hair is green." There are two ways to approach that comment.
One: Say "What a ridiculous statement!" and go about my business forgetting the statement and knowing that my hair is NOT green.
OR
Two: I knew my hair was not green, but it got me thinking. Then searching. Then "seeing" that maybe there was a tinge of green to it, a chunk of green here and there, stripes of green in the back...
The moral of the story is: The more you tell yourself something, the more you'll believe it. So when talking to yourself, KEEP IT POSITIVE!!
Over-analyzing things can make things worse. I'll be the first to admit that I over-analyze many things, and am learning very slowly how damaging this can be, and how to react when someone tells me something. Get the facts...don't look for the green stripes!
Disclaimer: This was in high school when my hair changed colors very often. It never has been green.
