For example, imagine you’re walking down the street and some people are looking at you. Instead of “What’s wrong with me?”, your first thought is “I look good”:)). Yes, that’s how they work, if you use them regularly.

4. I deserve love and happiness
You need to instill this one into your mind and learn to never settle for less. You deserve to get true genuine love and appreciation from people you care about. You are worthy of affectionate relationships and lasting friendships. You deserve to be happy, satisfied and content, and nobody has the right to take that away from you.
5. I am doing my best and I am proud of myself
Everyone moves at their own pace in life, so you need to remind yourself that you are doing your best, and you should be proud of yourself. Do not compare yourself to others. Tim Hiller put it so nicely: “don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle, or your middle to someone else’s end.” Be proud of your accomplishments, you can look to others for inspiration but you can’t beat yourself up for not being at the same level as they are.
6. I am an energetic magnet for good and positive energy
It’s only natural that when you are at peace with yourself, you emanate a positive spirit. And when you surround yourself with good vibes and positive energy, you will inevitably attract more positive energy. Think of how contagious happiness is, and be the embodiment of that. Start your day by thinking positive and you will realize how your confidence and optimism can boost the quality of your day.
7. I forgive myself for my past mistakes and I forgive others who hurt me
Forgiveness is a crucial step in the path towards self-actualization and self-improvement. You need to learn how to let go of those feelings of guilt, shame, and anger, and replace them with compassion, sympathy, and love. The past cannot be unchanged, but your attitude towards it can. So don’t think of your mistakes as failures, but as opportunities that you have learned from and which shaped you into the person you are today.
