During my work out yesterday, the coach turned up the music theoretically to inspire me. And I thought: I hate this music. And I remembered one of my friends telling me she hated accounting just before her accounting exam. I had told her that saying such things are not helping. So I listen to my own advice and told myself: I love this music. I noticed later that after repeating that a couple of times, I did not notice the music for the rest of the work out….
Maybe I was breathing too hard to hear it or changing what I told myself made a difference. Either way, I am grateful for remembering to change what I tell myself.
