Hello,
My name is Neville, male, divorced.
My children have grown up and deserted the nest. Don't worry though I wont molest anybody, my ethics prevents me doing anything that will offend others, therefore I don't invade other peoples territory. My blogs are about Christianity, animals, Pets, free Training information where possible, ancient history. I'm not a staunch Christian therefore I don't preach but, I believe in the one God our father in heaven the creator of the universe everything within it, King of Kings, Lords of Lords. I fully accept (Immanuel)Jesus Christ as My Savior, who suffered on the cross to save me from my sins, He Lives.

Exorcise yourself.
You can take me literally or not, as suits you. But do, please, the next time you hear that voice in your head, imagine it, visualize it, as something physical that you can get hold of; tear it out of you, feel its fingers weaken and lose their grip on your spine, and grind it to dust, to nothing, under your boot heel on your way out to dance in the streets.
You can. You think you can't; but it's telling you that. You can.
You don't exist.
You just think you do.
We're nothing but the stories we tell ourselves. We know in our hearts what kind of people we are, what we're capable of, because we've told ourselves what kind of people we are. You're a carefully-rehearsed list of weaknesses and strengths you've told yourself you have.
(Self-confidence, for example, is a particularly nebulous quality you can easily talk yourself out of having.)
You owe no allegiance to that self-image if it harms you. If you don't like the story your life has become -- tell yourself a better one.
Think about the person you want to be and do what that person would do. Act the way that person would act.
Amazingly enough, once you start acting like that person, people will start treating you like that person.
And you'll start to believe it. And then it will be true.
Welcome to your new self.
You are a product of your environnent.
Most people realize this -- usually, in the form of having something else to blame -- but they tend to forget one important fact:
Humans are the masters of changing their environment.
What this means is that if your environment affects you, and you can affect your environment, then obviously, you can affect yourself.
* Your environment includes people. Figure out who in your life isn't good for you, whose presence tears you down more than it builds you up, whose nearness is poison to you -- and get rid of them. Get them out of your life. I don't care if it's your best friend, your boss, your mother, your lover -- if they are harming you, if they are doing nothing but reinforce everything bad you tell yourself about yourself, then your relationship with them needs to radically alter or it needs to end.
* Your environment includes goals. Don't set yourself pie-in-the-sky impossible goals and then beat yourself up over not achieving them -- set yourself goals that will be good for you, not a source of pain. Attainable goals. Set them and meet them. Don't tell yourself you can't -- that's the old story, that story you used to tell yourself about what a poor sad victim you were and how you could never change anything about your life. You can meet your goals.
This is the new story.
