One of the steps to achieving consistent positive self-talk is adding the word 'Yet' to the end of a negative statement - it opens up the door for possibility (kind of like adding 'in bed' to fortune cookie predictions).
For example:
"I'm not good enough" becomes "I'm not good enough yet" (in bed)
What phrase do you use to negatively describe yourself?
How do you feel when you add 'yet' to that statement?
We're not at complete positive self-talk yet since adding 'yet' still leaves the negative phrasing in place.
By embracing the feeling you expect to have afterwards, you can start enjoying it immediately.GEORGE: You're not really gonna go to California, are you?
KRAMER (points to his head): Up here, I'm already gone.
