When I was frustrated and afraid that I was not going to meet my deadline for graduation, I would repeat this phrase to myself, "I am smart!"
In the car, "I am smart!" In the office, "I am smart!" As I was falling asleep at night, "I am smart!" Anytime thoughts of failure started creeping in I would tell myself this over and over until I believed it.
Today I feel tired, and need a pep talk again...
I am smart.
I am healthy.
I am beautiful.
What do you tell yourself?

You ARE smart, and healthy & beautiful. And you're probably tired from that long ride on Sunday (great job, by the way!). My personal mantras aren't nearly as eloquent as yours (e.g., Work & workouts: "don't embarrass yourself", racing: "don't be last", everything: "don't forget to breathe").
