Do you have any affirmations that help you change your mindset toward something? For example, if you have approach anxiety do you use phrases like "Everytime i see my perfect 10 i will walk up to her confidently" (this is an example a hypnotist used in an interview).

Or maybe when you go to the gym and you bicep exercises can you say "every friday when i go to the gym i will do bicep exercise" and actually do it after some time you repeat that thought in your mind?

What do you think? Do they work if you are being specific?

"You will be dead sooner than you think--irrelevant even sooner than that--and none of this shit will have mattered."

"You will get flaked on until you die."

Lol, this verbatim, it became our house catchphrase when I was in school.



That and "There's always another one"

"Hands out of pockets"

Every time my hands touch my pockets.

"Stop looking around."
"Stop looking at your phone."
"Relax."

This entire song






Doesn't matter what your short comings, if you got the mindset, you're awesome

"Take a look around and soak it in, because some day soon this will all just be a memory."

I have a hard time staying in the present. Although I am traveling constantly, I am mired in work and moving projects forward.

When I realize this, I acknowledge it, stop rushing around the city (Seoul, Beijing, Bangkok), and just stop and look around for a minute. I soak in the surroundings and stay in the present for a moment.

Then, I start hustling again. Can't just dick around all day, I've got shit to do.

"Collapse time frames"

This constantly goes off in my head.

Why be successful at 35 when you can be successful at 25?

Speed is and always was the secret.

That has got to be one of the best counter-measures for approach anxiety I've ever read. That's solid.

It's not just for approach anxiety.

If you were to write something on your cellphone background, what would it be?

This is my phone background, and in my mind, I'm the emperor. Obviously the connotation is a bit different, but to me "let none survive" can apply to approaches to be made, tasks to be, done or anything you want it to.

I did today what they wouldn't. So tomorrow i can accomplish what they can't.

I have 3:

When it's just me doing something: "Enjoy" which to me means "play with it"

When i'm about to appraoch a girl "Help" which to me means "make her feel good emotionally and phsyically"

When it comes to big picture stuff like business ventures, or planning a trip, or doing something I've never done: "Try it!"

Enjoy
Help
Try

These are rules for myself I haven't changed in years and I really like who I am and where I'm at because of it.

Well its originally a Warhammer quote lol so yeah its a bit negative to me its about adopting whatever mindset you have to o tackle the task before you

Self-talk is one of my favorite parts of the Game. I think its a very underrated aspect to this shit.

I look in the mirror and tell myself..."God you are a a good looking, smooth talking mother fucker, these little bitches can't resist me, I am like a God to them, I love you, you are a handsome clever motherfucker"

Stuff like that. I am never negative with myself.

Me too. Every morning after I shower, every time I'm about to hit the club, and throughout the day when I hit the restroom and wash my hands.

You are the man! I love that self-talk shit. I have to agree...it's one of the most underrated things. What you think is really what you believe, I hear my friends talk shit all the time and say 'I'm such a dick aren't I?' It gives a view into their world. It's strange because of all the shit I've gone through to get where I am - I notice I never ever talk bad to myself and I say to my friends why think that shit? And they think it's mumbo jumbo.

I think it's super important to always have 'good chatter' on in the background and always think you will achieve something. A guy who always thinks shit about himself in his head will never become anything. Makes such a difference.

The pessimist sees the difficulties in opportunity, the optimist sees the opportunity in difficulties.

lifes unfair' or lifes too short'

for some reason those motivate me,

just think about it, some people die, some people cant even fuck etc
