Sure, you’d like to be able to switch off those negative thoughts in an instant. Sure, you’d like to feel more confident, more cheerful. But what do you do if you don’t know how to?
Well just hold on for a moment, just give a thought to how you would prefer to feel. Ask yourself how you would behave if you really were more confident, more cheerful.
Think about it. How would you breath? What expression would you have on your face? How would you talk? How would you talk? What would you think?
Ok. Now let’s pretend, just for a moment, allow yourself to pretend you are more confident, pretend you are happy. Go on, smile, lift your head up high – act as if – you are more confident – act as if – you are happy.
Remember when you were a child, did you ever play the game ‘let’s pretend’? You didn’t think twice about it did you? it was easy, it was fun. Believe me, it is easy, it is fun, and it works. Try it, smile.
Remember, your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between pretend and reality, it will obediently act upon the ‘pretend’ and help make it become a reality for you.
