Game changer: add “up until now…” to any and all negative self-talk.
- [Up until now] I’m lazy and gross.
- [Up until now] My self-control sucks.
- [Up until now] I have no idea what I’m doing with my life.
Because now, that version of you is in the past.
Negative self-talk might come from a seemingly inevitable negative reality, but the only thing inevitable is your continued negative reality if you don’t change how you talk to yourself.
You will never outperform your self-image.
Now is as good of a time as any to change it.
