But my view is that the self talk drives the emotional response. It is very important to talk positive to yourself even if you don't really believe it. Fake it, 'til you make it.

Use those goofy affirmations you've heard of. You are good enough, smart enough, capable and lovable enough, and darn it, people like you.
