a letter to my brain
Dear Brain,
You know, I love you, I really do. You keep my nervous system working like a well-oiled machine. But sometimes you talk too much. sometimes you say mean things to me about my body or tell me that I’m not be able to do something because it’s too difficult. I appreciate your concern for my well-being and value your comments. But right now, I need you to please be quiet.
If what you have to say is really important, I’m sure we can find time to talk about it later.
Right now, I’m trying to feel good about myself, so if you can’t say anything nice, please don’t say anything at all. Of course, if you are able to be supportive and whisper nice things in my ears, then I’ll be happy to hear your thoughts on various matters.
Affectionately,
Me
