Hello! (sorry for a long post...)

I'm seeking some advice from people who have conquered the mean voice in their head telling them they can't do the things. Or that they're not good enough. I have been battling this issue for a long time, and while people are kind enough to say "stop it", it's not that easy for me. I dislike going to therapists (though I know they work for some people), so I wanted to see how those who were able to shut the voice did it.

I'm currently on medication for anxiety/depression, and taking Vitamin D supplements. I'm trying to tell the voice that the negativity is not conducive, but it persists. I just want to exterminate it if I can, or minimize it if I can't.

I have such a hard time with motivation (and follow-thru when I am motivated), that I think cutting out this negativity will help. For example, I keep wanting to do yoga like I used to. Not anything super crazy, but it always relaxed me and made me feel good about myself. And I have the memories and the knowledge. But there's just a wall in my brain that, when I try to do it, it's just basically like "nah, maybe later. Doesn't do me much good anyway." And I can't seem to get past it. I try to get into my yoga clothes, but still that voice is like "it won't change anything." Even though I know it will.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I am right there with you. sometimes it is hard to overcome these barriers we create for ourselves, and they are always the worst because you know what hurts you/puts you down more than anyone. Personally, I've experimented with LSD/psilocybin, (acid and mushrooms) and that has really helped me come out of my depressed state. It helps you see things in perspective and realize that you are a completely perfect individual and no one is like you. Though some people claim they have "bad trips" i believe this is just battling your own demons that are constantly bringing you down. Life is easier than we make it. It is about living freely and understanding that the universe will give you whatever you're after, so long as you're open to it... but that's just my take on things... as far as finding motivation/inspiration, I am still looking for that as well. I think getting outside, meditating, stretching, and eating a good diet (free of animal products, as much as possible) can really help as well. Personally, I didn't feel like I was living to my fullest potential when I was taking life (eating meat) and contributing to the worldwide pain that the meat and dairy industry is constantly feeding into... but again, that's just my own take on things.. I really hope you come to realize your own power. Humans are divine creation, our bodies are incredible, our thoughts manifest our reality, and we are in complete control of what direction our lives go. I hope you find what works for you, be it yoga (which is a great, GREAT thing) or meditation (try guided meditations on youtube or the app headspace if you need some guidance) or even creating something, (art, music, CWs, writing stories, poetry, etc) and find your purpose in life... remember that you are unique, and no one will ever see the world through your eyes, but you can always give people a glimpse by creating, or just being true to yourself... best of luck to you, - i hope nothing but the best for you. <3
