Mindful self-talk

Using mindful thought replacement. We replace the old habitual  phrases with new mindful self-talk. Stating  the new positive thoughts over time with a open mind will change how we feel and act.

Instead of the old weak saying:

“I messed up.”
“I can not do this.”
“I hate when this happens.”

Say the new strong mindful phrases:

“I will do the best I can.”
“I know how to manage this. I have done it before.”
“I am human, and humans make mistakes. I can fix it.”
