That is great! I wish I were better at doing that. I tend to start picking apart the affirmation, and then feeling silly about the whole thing, and it doesn't work. I need to be less analytical or self conscious or something. (Notice the negative self talk!)
On the other hand, sometimes I can address the negative self talk as if it were another person, and say, "Thank you for your opinion." And then try to see it as just one opinion. It's maybe part way there.
