Episode Highlights: 

• [03:25] 1. Start practicing positive affirmations. I don't mean fake it till you make it. Begin your day believing the words that you are saying in your affirmations.
• [04:13] Begin and end your day with these affirmations.
• [04:37] Think about what you wish was true about you. Take this thought and create "but" statements that will become your affirmations.
• [05:53] An example would be: "I feel like I'm not quite capable, but I'm taking a class and studying, so I feel like I know what I'm doing."
• [05:57] Combine how you currently feel, add a "but" statement, customize it, and take the action. 
• [07:45] 2. The second thing I want you to pay attention to is challenging negative thoughts.
• [08:02] When you catch yourself engaging in negative thoughts, start challenging that inner mean girl. Ask if it's true and if you still want it to be true. Look for holes that you can poke in those negative thoughts.
• [09:00] 3. Using visualization. Daydreaming is an important skill. Start seeing yourself in the different areas of your life being successful. Use your self-dialogue for your good.
• [10:02] 4. Focus on growth and not perfection. Perfection is a way to protect ourselves from discomfort. Focus on things that help you grow, not be perfect.
• [12:48] 5. Surround yourself with positivity. Not just your inner self-dialogue but also the people around you.
• [13:11] Have a go-to friend that really pours into you. 
• [13:34] If you're feeling stuck, look at who you spend the most time with.
• [14:19] 6. Practice gratitude and celebrate.
• [16:27] 7. Embrace self-compassion. We have such a tendency to be angry with ourselves when we're not where we believe we should be. Practice having the same kindness and understanding for yourself that you would offer to a friend.
• [17:39] Instead of beating yourself up for something, you can say "You're so cute."
