I ALWAYS PUT MYSELF DOWN
Workbook Volume 4
THE PROBLEM
Putting yourself down has a way of changing how you see yourself.
The more it happens, the easier it becomes to focus on flaws, dismiss strengths, and overlook progress.
You may find yourself minimising achievements, rejecting compliments, or speaking to yourself in ways you would never speak to somebody else.
After a while, self-criticism can become more than an occasional habit. It can become the lens through which you view yourself.
Instead of recognising what is actually there, you start searching for evidence that you are not good enough.
The result is often self-doubt, frustration, exhaustion, and the feeling that nothing you do is ever quite enough.
Are you seeing yourself clearly, or are you seeing yourself through years of self-criticism?
WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE
Using Grid Society's Universal Grid Map of Patterns™, you will explore 12 self-criticism-based thinking patterns and 36 associated behaviours designed to help you recognise patterns, challenge assumptions, gain perspective, and move forward with greater confidence.
Inside this self-reflection workbook, you will explore patterns such as:
► The First Critic
► The Compliment Deflector
► The Flaw Magnifier
► The Achievement Deleter
...and many more.
As you explore these patterns, ask yourself:
► Which of these patterns shows up most often in my daily life?
► How am I speaking to myself when nobody else is listening?
► Which beliefs about myself am I treating as facts?
► What evidence have I been ignoring about my strengths and progress?
THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD AT 4AM 🗣️
When you are lying awake at 4am, trapped in another replay, another spiral, another argument with yourself, picking apart what you said, what you did, how you looked, or why you are still not good enough, you do not need another motivational quote, another article to consume, or another conversation spent questioning yourself and still getting nowhere.
You need a simple process for making sense of what is happening inside your head.
The Pattern Recognition WorkbookCollection™ by Grid Society gives those thoughts somewhere to go.
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT! 🧡
1. It is not more information to consume.
You are actively working with your own thoughts, patterns and experiences.
2. Use it your way.
A quick 15-minute check-in, deeper journalling, or self-reflection when you have more time.
3. Give your thoughts somewhere to go.
Strategically download your thoughts onto paper and create greater clarity around what is in your head.
4. A different way to journal.
Use structured prompts and pattern recognition to take your journalling and self-reflection in a new direction.
5. Return to it again and again.
Revisit the workbook as situations change, recognise new patterns and keep a simple record of your growth.
