trade the self-shit talking w/ positivity, affirmations + hype

We talk so much &^$&^$^$% to ourselves, which keeps us in a negative space and can unconsciously move us to behave in ways that reinforce or manifest exactly what we say to ourselves. Instead of just pushing aside the negative self-talk, or worse, letting it take root and live inside your head, flip the script. We've taken some of the worst shit-talking we say to ourselves and rewritten them into positive self-talk that can help free you from spinning into negativity. Use the below examples to arm yourself against your inner critic and unleash your inner hype crew. Experts say the key is not only switching your thoughts when they happen, but also to believe in your new affirmation.
