Fill in the blanks with whatever comes to mind. You can be deeply sincere, a little ridiculous, or both. The point is to run a new line of code in your Default Mode Network.
Until now, my pattern was [negative belief / habit / default setting],
but today I am [verb ending in -ing] my way into becoming the kind of person who [new belief / identity / ridiculous superpower].
Every time I [common daily action], I remind myself [motivating phrase / absurd mantra],
because my brain loves [emotion / sensation / thing you enjoy] more than it loves [old habit / outdated thought / something mildly embarrassing].
From now on, I will collect proof that I am [identity upgrade]—
whether that proof comes in the form of [serious example] or [completely silly example].

I will politely tell them [witty dismissal], and keep going.
Example 1:

And if Debbie Downcode shows up again, I will politely tell her “Not my script,” and keep going.
Example 2:
Until now, my pattern was thinking I’m bad at cooking, but today I am flambéing my way into becoming the kind of person who makes Gordon Ramsay weep with joy.
Every time I put on socks, I remind myself “I am a majestic kitchen wizard,” because my brain loves cheese more than it loves burnt toast.
From now on, I will collect proof that I am the Chosen Chef—whether that proof comes in the form of perfectly poached eggs or my dog enjoying his scrambled eggs.
And if Captain Cranky Cortex shows up again, I will politely tell him “Go put yourself in the freezer,” and keep going.
