Practice affirmations
When the feds were calling me and I was being sued for $500 million, I found that you just have to laugh, cry, and pick up the pieces. No matter what you’re facing, the only solution is to stop complaining and blaming others, and soldier on. No one will save you but you. Breathe and tackle one issue at a time. Yard by yard, it’s hard — but inch by inch, it’s a cinch.
Silence the negative voices in your head and reassure your mind with affirmations, replacing “I” with “me.” So, instead of “I am confident, I can do this,” say, “Me is confident, me can do this.” It doesn’t sound right, but “me” hits deeper because it’s hardwired into your subconscious. Then do the Rocky victory pose, jump around and get some exercise, and you will feel better immediately.
