Former Love Island star Dr Alex George has opened up to his followers about the "most powerful thing" he has learnt in life so far. He said "you are not your thoughts" as he encouraged his fans to accept their flaws and appreciate their strengths.
Posting a lengthy message to Instagram, the former A&E doctor from Carmarthenshire posted a series of blank tiles with text on it alongside a caption which said: "You are not your thoughts. I'm pretty sure we all have felt self-loathing at times, our thoughts telling us that we are a bad person and just generally bad at everything. Once you learn to separate that *noise* from who you are, you begin to grow a true sense of confidence in who you are, accepting of all your flaws and recognising and appreciating your strengths."
His message, spread across four slides, read: "I hate myself sometimes. Do you? Pretty much everyone feels like that at times, so unless everyone in the world is a horrible person, something else is at play. The most powerful thing I have learnt in my life so far is that, *you are not your thoughts*. Wait, what? Yes, that's right. Your thoughts are just a fiction of your imagination. Quite literally."
