We can be our own best friend, but we are more likely at times, to be our own worst enemy with the thoughts we have towards ourselves.

I think the key to this is to try and identify when your thinking is not positive, to yourself, to other people and to situations you may find yourself in.

It’s true that you start to believe what you tell yourself you are.

Tell yourself enough that you are:

• worthless
• useless
• a bad partner
• crap at your job
• a bad friend
• a bad person
• stupid

and guess what? You will end up that way.

Tell yourself that:

• you deserve to be happy
• you are a good person
