a ten year old version of yourself sitting across from you right this minute. Got it? Ok, now, I want you to tell this little girl or boy that they mean absolutely nothing. Tell them they're an embarrassment, that they're worthless, that they're useless. Are you doing it...? Can you say it? No. You can't do it, right? Now, realize that this is essentially what you do to yourself every single day. What do you REALLY want to say to this kid? That they're incredible and they should never let anyone tell you otherwise. Now, say this new stuff to yourself. Replace the bad with the good. Replace it. Believe it. Understand it.
