Affirmations.

I have a tiny notepad (Field Notes!) that I use so I don't forget stuff. On the first page, I just started writing down statements that were either:

1. Both positive and true about myself, or
2. Positive but not true... yet. ;-)

I'm finding out that:

1. Both 1's and 2's make me feel good about myself every time I read them, and
2. the 2's are slowly becoming true, because I want them to be true, so I'm subconsciously working towards making them true. Holy shit, this is awesome.

So give it a shot. Write them down. And look at them all the time. Some people put them on their mirror so they see them twice a day. I read them every time I need to check my to-do list. They're carrying a huge part of my burden right now.
