5 things that have happened to you that day which were good.
They can be small things…
▪ I had an easy drive to work today
▪ I felt a little bit more comfortable over dinner tonight
▪ I enjoyed watching the latest episode of a TV show today.
Shift your mindset from problem to solution before you go to bed and see how
much better you sleep.
And how much more positive you feel in the morning! 

#7 Craft affirmations
So, you have a voice in your head that nags you, puts you down and belittles
your success?
Maybe it’s time to add a new voice to the choir.
Remember, even if you have a voice that you can identify as someone else
(parent/teacher/partner…) it’s still YOUR voice.
You created it by listening and repeating those words on the inside.
Over and over.
And, if you can make such a powerful negative voice then it stands to reason
that you can create an empowering one.
Right?
Well, here’s how to go about it:
Figure out what a kind, encouraging and empowering person might say to
you.  Give it some real thought.
Don’t worry – you’ll never have to admit the kind of encouragement you crave
to anyone.
You know what it is.
Go back over #1 to #6 and incorporate all of those ideas into what you
want this voice to say.
Design simple, punchy and powerful self-affirmations that are meaningful to
you.
Only you know what would be most powerful, but here are some ideas:
▪ “Even though I struggle with anxiety I am still worthwhile and deserving
of respect”
▪ “Every day I am becoming a little bit more confident and outgoing”
