When you catch yourself listing all the things you’ve messed up in your life, STOP! If you keep focusing on what you’ve messed up, you’re just going to get BETTER at MESSING UP! The best way to deal with these thoughts is to switch them.
Instead, list all the ways you can begin to have victory in those areas. Your energy rises, hope is restored and creativity soars! You’ll succeed when your mindset is one of success.
