If you’re facing a new challenge…
Ease the dread by telling yourself what you’ll get out of it. Have to give a presentation at work? Think: Getting through this will give me more confidence the next time I need to speak in public. Trying a new gym class? Remind yourself that you’re braving it to get healthier. Go, you!
If you’re feeling down about yourself…
Think back to when you’ve bounced back from bigger setbacks, saying to yourself, “I can overcome this. I’ve done it before.” Whenever the going gets tough (whether you’ve lost your job, endured a bad breakup, or just need an ego boost), it truly helps to repeat a mantra like, “I kick butt!”
