I am in complete agreement with all previous statements. Becoming aware of the automatic negative self-talk, and over time replacing it with positive statements and beliefs. It's baby steps, and eventually it becomes automatic positive self talk. And you can see it in the people around you. They will literally mirror what you think of yourself. Everyone around here seems to love me at the moment, as opposed to the barely concealed dislike of 6 months ago.
I will add that my Higher Self gives me a sharp left ear tone when I get too egotistical in my affirmations, so instead of "I love myself" s/he prefers "I love myself unconditionally". Or "I am beautiful" needs to become "I am beautiful inside and out". I love how my affirmations are corrected as I do them. Not always, but often enough to get the point across.
