"Don't" -> eliminate, the subconscious does not recognize the word. Focus on the positive. "Don't forget" -> "remember to..."
"try" -> "Do or do not, there is no try"
"It's All Your Fault!" (puts responsibility on external factors) -> "I take responsibility for this"
-
"I am..." - this needs to be positive, it is a label and we humans love to believe labels blindly -> what do you want? What positive are you after?
"I miss" (focuses on lack) -> what did you appreciate about that person/situation, "I appreciate..."
"The problem is..." (focuses on the problem) -> "The solution is..." (write down as many solutions as possible if stuck)

"Hate" -> "I prefer"
Don't focus on the negatives, but rather on what we DO want
Criticism - dis-empowering, negative words cause negative/stress responses in both the giver and receiver, which drains memory, strength, etc.
Explanation and Justification - seeking others' approval is no way to live your own, empowered life, and to follow your own dreams.
"If you would just do X, I would be happy" or "If X would happen, then I could just be happy" (puts responsibility for your state onto others and focuses on our current lack) -> Cultivate the feelings first - "I appreciate the feeling I have when X happens"
"What's wrong with you?" -> Focuses on the negative, on what we don't want -> instead, focus on what is right or what we prefer.
Excuses -> shift blame, shift responsibility, put us in a victim mentality, creates the "lowest vibration in the universe". Be responsible. Procrastination is a continuation on this principle.
Exaggeration - mountains out of molehills, making problems seem larger than it really is. Put problems into perspective and be intentional about the meaning you assign to them. "I choose to assign X meaning to this situation".
