It’s All About Control
The first step is realizing that you have control over your life and your thoughts. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones.

Replace cruel and hurtful thoughts with kind and loving ones, especially about yourself. Meditation helps you create the awareness to identify negative self-talk.
