no neg, only pos 

Every time you neg yourself you reinforce that mode of thinking and it becomes easier and easier to see yourself that way and harder and harder to think you can succeed and do the things you want to.

So when you have a negative self thought, say no aloud, and replace it with a positive thought. Repeat it over and over. Please. I care about you all.

while I want to think this may be useful advice it feels disturbingly close to the "pretend nothing is ever wrong" suppression heartily endorsed by virtually all adults within miles of me as a child

so I'm wary

but I want to think it might be useful advice, at least in moderation
