every time I hear the word "affirmations" I have to think of this Mr Robot scene[1]. There's something truly Patrick Bateman like about this self-talk that seems like it comes straight out of some business self-help book. I think this kind of stuff isn't really helpful. For one self-doubt may very well be correct given the circumstances. It's not really sound to attempt to drown that out or not be your own critic. Even more importantly it gets people tangled up even more in their own thoughts. It may be a trite insight at this point but you aren't your own thoughts. You can just listen to them without immediately being caught up in them. If you can deliberate or act on things without being too caught up what your 'inner voice' is telling you at any given moment, that's a much more solid foundation than repeating weird chants to yourself.
