Want to Believe In Yourself More?

My friends, I've been honest with you so far, haven't I?

If you want to eliminate those crappy critical voices in your head, otherwise known as mental do-do or cognitive ka-ka, you're going to need some tools.

Here are two:

1. Affirmations.
These are positive statements that negate negative beliefs. Here's how they work. Say you are a pint-sized loser, well you don't want to go around saying: "I am a pint-sized loser." Instead, you could say: "I am the president of France, and though I am short, I have a very beautiful wife!" Affirmations are all the rage. All the motivational speakers swear by them, though I don't recommend them myself for one simple reason: In all probability, you are not the president of France.  That's why I recommend an alternative method....

2. Un-FFirmations.
These are negative statements that negate nothing.  Plus, the beauty of these is that you will have no trouble believing in them!  Here are some of my favorites:

I am stupid
I am lazy
I often feel like a fraud
I am selfish
I am greedy
I am fat, and I've hurt people that I love
I have bad breath on occasion, and when I do, people do not want to kiss me
I may have bad breath at this moment

So feel free to say these as much as you like. Just make sure that immediately afterward you say this phrase: "It don't matter!"

Doesn't that feel better?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
