I sort of stumbled upon this myself: I'll have negative thoughts - your hair is messed up, they're looking at you, you're doing something wrong, not cool enough, they don't like you, etc But I realized that of course these are completely ridiculous negative thoughts from my social conditioning in North America. So one day I thought to tell myself equally ridiculous positive thoughts. When I have a negative thought.. my hair is messed up --- I'll counter it with a ridiculous positive thought: my hair is the most beautiful hair on planet earth. It sounds so stupid when it's positive, but when it's negative I had been listening to it for my entire life. From this point on, it's difficult to give those negative thoughts any weight.
