Start now to correct your negative outlook by reading the following typical positive comments from people I have known who have taken the risk of inspecting the hidden depths of their hearts and minds.

‘I didn’t realize how exciting self-exploration could be.’

‘I found out that I was a much more interesting person than I ever dreamed I was.’

‘I’d forgotten how much I had already achieved in my life – remembering gave me the courage to keep on trying.’

‘It was wonderful to rediscover my hidden strengths.’

‘Finding out what was really important to me in life was the first step towards getting it!’

‘It felt so good to become aware that I had simply slipped into a rut for the safety I once so desperately wanted but now no longer need.’

‘Understanding the cause of my faults helped me like myself better – and helped me to become more tolerant of those weaknesses in other people.’

If you are suffering from a particularly bad attack of negativity, read the above section again and again.

Now, with a positive, optimistic approach, try completing the following exercises.
