HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS:

1. Notice when unhelpful thoughts like, "This won't work" or "I will fail", come up in you.

2. Remind yourself you're in charge. This shows you your choice to interrupt the thought. (picturing a big red stop sign can help you interrupt)

3. Meet the thought with safety and confidence. Acknowledge your fleeting, negative thought with understanding. Respond to them with the positive perspective you want to act from, like "I can try" or "I'm capable."

4. Repeat this process with negative thoughts in order to build your confidence of being in charge. Tell yourself you're willing to consistently interrupt old thoughts, introduce new ones, and act as if they're true.
